  • La Catedral Nosara, they host fun events and happy hours, serving up great cocktails and tasty food. Self described as “a creative house where you can taste art, feel food & be inspired by cocktails. A space for bold minds & wild souls.” Visit their Instagram to learn more. A 15-20 minute drive, just up the road from Kae Rae’s.

  • Coyol Restaurant, one of the most popular restaurants in the area, set in a simple glass house on a hillside about 25 minutes away. It has a grassy lawn with outdoor seating, 180° views, and even a rope swing hanging from a tree. Enjoy grilled meats, a simple menu, a full bar, and generous portions (you’ve been warned!).
