Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica Food Guide: 3 Asian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Dominical

September 22, 2019 Karren Gelb

Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Dominical. Surf, dive, snorkel, beach comb, horseback ride, bicycle, or relax in a hammock in Dominical. Take a stress-relieving yoga class at Bamboo YogaPlay. Enjoy beach restaurants serving up everything from East Indian curries and Italian pastas and pizzas to local gallo pinto and shots of anise-infused sugarcane liquor. Savor lonely beaches populated by pelicans, frigate birds, brown boobies, and hardy surfers here for the waves and good beachfront food at reasonable prices. When you’ve caught up on your sleep and feel relaxed, take the family on a hike to the double-cascade waterfall at Nauyaca. Perhaps the family would be up for a horseback gallop on the beach, or a trot to a smaller waterfall like Pazo Azul, whose plunge pool is popular with local kids. There is always boogie boarding at Playa Dominicalito. Or beachcombing and dolphin-watching at Playa Dominical. Guided bird-watching, and mangrove estuary and rainforest tours are always educational. Charter a fishing boat. Catch and release big sailfish like marlin in the deep sea, or keep some tasty dinner fish like red snapper, yellowfin tuna, snook, wahoo, and dorado. In Marino Bellena National Park, humpback whales migrate south towards Dominical to escape the Arctic cold. December to April is the humpback whale mating season in Ballena (Whale) Marine National Park. May to November is the nesting season, when Olive Ridley and Hawksbill turtles do their nocturnal egg-laying on the beaches. Low tide beach combing walks can take you out to Punta Uvita Tombolo island. Snorkel, dive, and explore mangrove habitats. Or just sit with the family on the gold and white sands watching green marine iguanas sunbathe between dives into the rocks and corals to feed on marine algae.

Phat Noodle

Delicious, healthy Thai food! Natural and fresh ingredients, paired with chicken, fish or meat and lots of spices, herbs, and fresh, local vegetables. All served out of a funky food bus! Free delivery service to local area.

Not expecting to find such good Thai food, now of course it isn't completely authentic or as good as the places I have found in NY but it's really good and definitely a crowd please(we were with large group). Huge portions though, as in most places here in CF-we felt we over ordered. Thanks very much for the great review. We really appreciate it. Hoping to see you back again soon!

Dominical Sushi

Reviewed By BIGMACjr

A lovely spot w/ nice views. When we were here two guys did everything - cook, clean, take orders, serve, bus tables, etc - they hustled, but they simply were overwhelmed. So we, and many other tables, waited a bit too long for everything.Food was just what we expected. Slightly better then sushi you might get at a mall food court.Music was terrible.

Maracatu

Maracatu has been providing Dominical with a one of a kind experience since 2005. We pride ourselves on having found the perfect balance of good vibes, healthy food, great nightlife, a warm ambience, varied world music and environmental responsibility. Ev

The lentil burgers at Maracatu are tasty and very large. They are plated with salad, fries and burger fixings such as lettuce and tomato. If you are hungry and in Dominical, this is a good choice. The smoothies are okay but not the best we have had in the area.Unfortunately the wait staff at Maracatu did not seem interested in customer service. We walked into the restaurant and saw a couple wait staff - - they did not greet us but eventually pointed to an open table outdoors. The burgers arrived without a word or a smile. We did get a smile when we paid our bill.. The customer service was so unlike our experience at every other restaurant in the Quepos & Dominical area, it is what we will remember about Maracatu.
