La Flor de la Sabana

Reviewed By girlycheckin

Our first morning in Uvita, we had to be at Bahia Adventures for our Corcovado tour by 7am, so we wanted to find a place that was open early enough for a hot breakfast on the way. Based on our research beforehand, we thought that we could stop at the Dome, but when we got there, it was closed. So after driving up and down the road a bit, we figured we'd stop here, since we saw that a bunch of buses were parked in front and figured if the tours stop there, it must be good. Right? We didn't find out until two days later that the reason the buses were there is because this was, in fact, the bus station. lolAnyway, it's cafeteria style and they have a pretty big selection. I had rice and beans, and fried cheese (altho at the time I wasn't really sure what it was—it just looked good when I was ordering and turned out to be very similar to a grilled cheese sandwich only without the bread). And they're open at 6am. (If you want another place that's open early, we're told that Bahia Bellena Restaurant is also open at 6am.)

it is a nice place, not fancy. Located in the main road, next to a super market. The waiter was not the nicest guy in town, but the food is very good, specially pancakes!

Mexican food in Uvita, come and enjoy our Tacos

Group of 4 came here for dinner. We sat by the bar side where it is more lighted. We ordered chicken, carnita, al pastor, and fish tacos. The chicken was dry and fish was just ok. Al pastor was definitely the winner.

Parrilladas y comida típica costarricense. Hermosa vista al mar . Especial para eventos privados y cenas románticas.

Reviewed By April-Dominical

Searching for an amazing culinary experience in the Rain Forest? Rancho Ceilo Alto is not to be missed. This hidden gem offers a Unique and Delicious Farm to Table experience. Nestled into the jungle, overlooking the Pacific Ocean this beautiful open-air Rancho has true Costa Rican charm. Owner and chef Jazmín Godínez, presents a food experience like no other.The 4-course presentation includes integration of ingredients from her on-site garden and local organic farmers. Each dish is prepared with love over and open fire and includes layers of flavors as well as edible and medicinal plants. I was blown away by the level of technique used for each preparation and presentation. Not only is the food amazing, but Jazmin welcomes you like family. From the time that you arrive until the time you leave Jazmin is explaining each presentation including the benefits of the medicinal plants included. Definitely an experience not to be missed. Note; reservations required.In addition to dining, Jazmin also offers cooking classes using local ingredients and techniques. Also included is use and explanation of edible and medicinal plants.Thank you

The Dome Drive Thru

The Dome Drive Thru, Uvitas best Breakfast and lunch specializing in Burritos and Burgers and a selection of Uvitas best coffee drinks.

Reviewed By RickMichigan1

It's easy to not try the food at the Dome restaurant by judging it just on its exterior. However, the inside is totally different and pleasant. The food is great and waitresses very attentive and nice personalities. They also have seating on the rooftop. I did not get a chance to eat there as it was rather hot in Uvita when I vacationed there.

Ballena Bistro

Ballena Bistro is located in a beautiful wooden building. Our fusion dishes are casual and creative and made with the freshest ingredients. Everything is homemade including our burger buns. We are dedicated to make your visit special.

Reviewed By Christine B

Ballena Bistro is my favorite restaurant to visit when I am in Costa Rica. The owner, Liz is extremely hospitable and the food is amazing. When we are staying in Manuel Antonio, having lunch here is our favorite outing. The drive from Quepos is beautiful and the atmosphere at this restaurant is calm and pristine. I highly recommend the quinoa, kale dish but all of the food is delicious.Es una alegría que siempre nos visiten, muchas gracias por el review, nos veremos pronto, pura vida.

Bar Restaurant Los Laureles

Reviewed By Angie G

I had read reviews that the restaurant offered vegan options but I messaged to confirm. Cindy took the time to send me via message every option available to me. She made us feel so welcome upon our arrival. The food was delicious, atmosphere perfect! From the avocado hummus to the homemade chickpea patties, everything was tasty and filling. The prices were very reasonable and Cindy worked her butt off, handling all of the restaurant diners' needs both pleasantly and expeditiously!!!Awww thanks so very very much !!! I'm glad you both felt welcome and comfortable at Los Laureles that is what we are looking for along with fresh food that gets prepared with love for you to enjoy, very thankful for recommending our place looking forward to se you soon, thanks
