In your bungalow
Cook among the trees
Every bungalow has a fully equipped kitchen, so you can prepare what you like and eat looking into the trees from your private space.
Eat well, close to the forest
Local Dining
From your own kitchen to nearby tables
With our full kitchens, many travelers decide to eat in. But you don't have to go all the way into La Fortuna to eat well. There are some great spots right here around Chachagua, whether you're looking for a nice dinner, something casual, or the kind of place you'd probably never find unless a local told you about it.
Breakfast included
El Bocadito
Breakfast is included with your stay at El Bocadito, a 4 minute drive or about 20 minutes on foot from your bungalow. We coordinate it for you.
Private dinners
A chef in your bungalow
For a first night, a celebration or simply a slow evening in, our partners at Nativo Chef cook and serve a private dinner in your bungalow, then take care of the cleanup. Choose a three-course dinner or a seven-course tasting, and tell them about any allergies, dietary needs or special occasions when you book.
Three-course dinner from USD 90 per person · Seven-course tasting from USD 130 per person · Booked directly with Nativo Chef

A nice dinner
Chachagua Rainforest Hotel
The easiest option when you want a nice dinner close to Lechu. Enjoy one of the restaurants at the lodge, pair it with some time in the hot springs, and make an evening of it. Reservations needed.
A local favorite
El Fogón de Chela
A local favorite with a warm, casual atmosphere and plenty of Costa Rican flavor. Everything is cooked on a traditional wood-fire grill. Come hungry, order something hearty, and don't expect to leave much room for dessert. Best for lunch, it closes in the afternoon.
Truly local
Restaurant Ross
This one is for when you want to eat really local. Nothing fancy, nothing polished, just typical Costa Rican food, cold drinks and a laid-back neighborhood-bar kind of feel.
