Uvita, is a small beach town located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. If you are planning a trip to Costa Rica, this small town must be added to your itinerary. The town is well known for their Whale Tail beach located in the Marino Ballena National Park. Whether you’re visiting the National park, or simily just enjoying an ocean beach day, you will want to check out a few of the food options in this charming coastal town. Lets dive into the top 5 Uvita restaurants you must try!
This list was made to give newcomers a variety of restaurant options where you will not be disappointed. You will find restaurants with incredible pizzas to ones with fresh made sushi and wine. There is also a variety for price range, from affordable to one expensive option. These are in no particular order and all are great options with delicious food options!
1. Mosaic Sushi
Mosaic sushi is an outdoor sushi and wine bar. The resturant serves wines that are not easily found in the area and for a reasonable price. Food is fresh and consistent and staff are incredibly friendly. Service is great. The setting here is a cozy outdoor space. If you love sushi and wine, add this to your list of food spots. I would highly recommend ordering the poke bowl. If sushi isn’t your thing, there are some other options on the menu, like paninis, soups and salads. There are options for everyone!

Indominos has outdoor seating and is nestled in a lush, rainforest setting. If you are looking for an amazing vegetarian option, Indomitos is the Uvita restaurant you have to check out.

3. Sebas
If you love pizza, this is the place you need to eat at. Sebas has some of the best pizza in Uvita. They have other food options such as steak and fish. Much of the food is made fresh from the owners farm, which you cannot deny once you taste all the flavours. Important to note this restaurant is expensive when compared to other Uvita Restaurants, but if you are looking to splurge check this place out.

4. Gastro Park (7 Uvita Restaurants)
If you and the people you are travelling with cannot decide on a place to eat, head to Gastro Park. This is like an outdoor food court with several great food options. I think this place would be ideal for the family travelling through Uvita as there is something for everyone here. You will find noodle bowls at Phat Noodle, barbecue at Somos Cuatra and delicious hamburgers and La Bodega and more. If you can’t agree on one of the Uvita Restaurants, this place makes it easy as will please everyone!

5. Whale Tail Brewery
Looking for a good drink, music and some fun in Uvita Costa Rica? Visit the Whale Tail Brewery for a fun evening with friends and family. This micro brewery has some indoor seating and a beer garden in the back of the pub where you can find live music in the evening. They have some good pub food options, but you definitely come here for the drinks! I would recommend trying something new here, we had a fun time ordering alcoholic drinks we had never tried before and did like a “taste testing night.” The service here was incredible, music was great and we overall had a great time here.
