San José, Costa Rica
Sikwa in San José's Los Yoses district operates as both restaurant and research center, dedicated to Costa Rica's Indigenous culinary heritage under chef Pablo Bonilla. The kitchen draws on ancestral techniques and locally sourced ingredients to document and reinterpret traditions that have been largely absent from the country's fine-dining conversation. For anyone serious about Costa Rican food culture, this is a reference point.
San José, Costa Rica
Alma de Amón occupies the Amón neighbourhood of San José, Costa Rica's most architecturally layered district, where Victorian-era residential streets frame a growing scene of independent restaurants and cultural venues. See our full San José guide for broader context.
San José, Costa Rica
C. 33 occupies a quiet corner of San José's dining scene at a moment when Costa Rican restaurants are increasingly turning their sourcing gaze inward. The address places it within reach of the capital's more considered mid-range tables, and its presence points to a broader shift in how the city's kitchens are framing local produce. Worth tracking for anyone mapping the current state of San José eating.
San José, Costa Rica
La Uvita Perdida Cantina de vinos is a wine bar in San José's Barrio Escalante, a neighbourhood that has become Costa Rica's most concentrated address for independent food and drink. Currently in the process of relocating, the cantina sits within a local wine-bar scene that increasingly mirrors the casual-specialist formats gaining ground across Latin America's urban dining circuits.
