Very delicious, being all gluten free. The prices are not comfortable but it is understandable since the food is gluten-free.

A little pricey but I'm not surprised in this town especially for organic food. Also, the lunch menu is much bigger than the dinner menu but it wasn't available at dinner time which was a little annoying. But the food was great. I was happy to find gluten free pasta here.

One of my favorite options! You can tell that the ingredients are of good quality, great taste and freshness of the ingredients. It's practically the only restaurant I know where they offer fast food without it being greasy and upsetting to the stomach. I give them all the points for having a clearly marked ingredient bar. I have visited the place with friends who are intolerant to gluten or dairy and we have all been able to enjoy a pleasant time, which is hard to find! Highly recommended.

A great find in La fortuna! The interior decor is soo pretty and its located just a little bit outside the main downtown area. The menu was not super big but had many great gluten free options that were clearly marked. My family tried their ceviche, shrimp rice, grilled chicken bowl and Inca salmon. Most entrees came with two accompaniments, I would recommend the salad, the dressing was so good!

Excellent place. Best pizza you will find. So much parking if you need it, parking is also available along the street. The pizza oven is large enough to accommodate regular pizza and gluten free pizza even in the same oven! Great atmosphere and garden. Drinks are excellent. Highly recommend!

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!
