Where to Eat Around Dominical and Uvita

For a small stretch of coast, Dominical and neighbouring Uvita have a surprisingly rich food scene, from simple family-run sodas serving casados to relaxed beach cafes and international kitchens. It is a lovely area to eat slowly and locally.

The local flavour

Traditional sodas are the heart of Costa Rican eating: unfussy spots serving casados, gallo pinto, and fresh fruit batidos at friendly prices. Around Dominical and Uvita you will also find open-air cafes, bakeries, and kitchens leaning on local fish and produce.

Farmers markets in the area are a good way to stock the villa's full kitchen with tropical fruit, vegetables, and local coffee for slow mornings at home.

Eating in and out

With a full kitchen at the villa, many guests split their time between cooking in and heading out. A market run and a home-cooked breakfast on the terrace pairs nicely with an evening meal down in Dominical.

Menus, hours, and openings change often in a small coastal town, so treat this as a starting point and ask locally for the current favourites.

Base yourself at Casa Calma

Casa Calma is an ocean-view villa in Dominicalito, a short walk from surf and yoga and an easy drive from the waterfalls, whale-watching and restaurants of Dominical and Uvita.
