Top 3 Gluten-Free Destinations to Explore in Puntarenas Province

We stayed in Uvita two nights and visited this place three times since it was that good! Selena and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. My daughter and husband are celiac (gluten-free) and this place had so many delicious options that were clearly labeled - including multiple desserts! Great food and cocktails. On the last night, we went back so that my daughter could have a birthday cake and they remembered when we showed up that it was her birthday and made her feel really special. Highly recommend Sibu!

The food was very good - fresh ingredients and well paired flavours. We ordered the beef carpaccio and then a pizza and chicken with mushroom sauce. The service was outstanding as our waiter, Damon, was very attentive. Once he knew I was gluten free, the chef made me some fresh gf crackers from the pizza dough and ensured the sweet that came with the bill was gf. Overall a lovely experience, I just wish they had had the gf tiramisu...next time!

Finally something decent to eat in this country.. Good GF pizza, great GF pasta (recommending the tomato and mozzarella sauce), nice servers and what would've been a nice view if it wasn't dark out. Only dissapiontment is the additional cherge for the gluten free (1,500 colones for the 2 dishes).

Relaxed, fast casual environment. Straightforward menu with typical Mediterranean options. The food was okay— nothing to rave about. I have dietary preferences, so I avoided the pita bread and fries due to gluten intolerance. The build your own salad bar was awesome. The ingredients were fresh, but none of the sauces tasted appetizing. The others in my party thought the hummus tasted pretty flavorless. The chicken was a solid 6.5/10– nothing special. The atmosphere was good, though— a great place to have a laid back dinner or lunch.

This place is a must-visit in Monteverde (even with the trek) don’t miss out!!! The food was INCREDIBLE!! It was also great because they were gluten-free friendly! We had the Senda Soup, Pork Chop, Beef Tenderloin and gluten free Churros for dessert and all of it was immaculate. We don’t have any notes, truly. 10/10 recommend for food alone, but on top of that, the service was incredible - very kind, funny and personable staff (Edwin was our server)! The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing and just all around great. The price is higher but it’s definitely worth it!

If you are Gluten FREE go here - their pizza is fantastic! Amazing service, great location, perfect wine list...just a perfect date night spot! Our waiter was so understanding of my tree nut and gluten allergies. I loved my huge pizza that was gluten free, great dough they made for me. I highly recommend a trip here for dinner. We were staying at Crocs resort and just walked into town to dine here.
