Traditional Gastronomy
Flavors cooked over wood fire, the way it has always been.
Picture yourself at a table in La Casona: the scent of burning wood in the air, freshly smoked meat just served, hand-pressed tortillas still warm, and a slow-cooked olla de carne that has been simmering all morning. Our kitchen takes no shortcuts — just timeless Costa Rican recipes, fresh local ingredients, and a fire that never goes out. A meal at La Casona is an experience you will not forget.
