On the recommendation of our Airbnb host we went to this restaurant early: 4:30 p.m.
We were able to see the sun set, and for 5 minutes the little white face monkeys came to see us, it was magical. But that's not all, the service is impeccable, and we ate very well, it was delicious. We chose dishes at an affordable price, the mojito was very good and cheaper since our arrival at CR
I recommend 100%

Located on a rocky outcrop, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean to the North and South, La Parcela restaurant guarantees a relaxed atmosphere with the whisper of the sea entering through its 100% open sides. The service was prompt and pleasant, and we accepted the recommendation of the filet mignon, with a natural mango drink, for me and strawberry in milk for my wife. The flavors in this dish were delicious from start to finish! The juicy meat, 3/4 season, melted on our palate and motivated us to savor it for as long as possible. Vegetables and mashed potatoes: perfect complements for a delicious dish. Simply spectacular!
In the end, all that was left to do was close with tres leches for me and my wife selected a coconut flan, both delicious, too. Of course, we couldn't miss a coffee, which was so good that it wasn't necessary to sweeten it with sugar, since its aroma was more than exquisite. A special experience, in a special place! Highly recommended? Of course!

We enjoyed a leisurely early dinner here with a dear friend that helped show us around the Dominical area. I only wished I learned of this restaurant sooner and visited more often.
We did not see any monkeys in the trees, but did see some small green parrots or parakeets.
We stayed nearby at the Senderos de Selva Escaleras del Pacifico in the Puntarenas Province near Dominical.
The restaurant is only about a 15 minute drive (and most of that is just going down the rainforest mountain) and has plenty of free parking. If coming off of Ruta Nacional Primaria 34 highway it is 3 minutes.
Walk around the restaurant to a scenic overlook worth checking out for some photos.

The view, the staff and the contents of the plates, everything is absolutely perfect. Big appetites will get their money's worth because the portions are copious.
For my part, I tasted the best octopus I have ever had. Freshness can be felt and seen. The cooking was perfect.
The dessert was also a delight for my taste buds.
This is at least the tenth time I've been to Parcela and I'm never disappointed.
Now, let's talk about the view!!! The promontory on which the restaurant is built benefits from an exceptional view.

Gorgeous spot, and a thoughtful kitchen. I know it's not an obvious location to order a Chicken Parmigiana, but so glad I did it was perfection. Ceviche was delicious too and the location (ocean on both sides) was perfect for a sunset dinner.

This was our favourite restaurant on our trip to the Pacific coast this time. It is in a beautiful setting, the staff were very attentive, the food was lovely and if you go early evening you get a visit from the Capuchin monkeys too.
You get Beautiful views of the coast on either side of this restaurant

I can’t say enough good things about this place! You walk upstairs and are immediately taken in by the water views on both sides of the restaurant. The fresh fish is VERY fresh! I had the seared tuna and it melted in my mouth. Friends had the red snapper and the presentation was incredible (if you’re ok with a full fish on your plate). Friendly staff who even accommodated our requests to play a song over their speaker system so we could do a special dance for the birthday girl (we were a party of 17). To top it off, they were completely fine with doing separate checks for all of us! Lovely people, amazing food 👍🏼

A wonderful seafood restaurant with breathtaking ocean views, La Parcela was a highlight of our visit to Costa Rica's Dominical region, with delicious fish, Mexican dishes and Costa Rican specialties the entire family will enjoy. The fresh Mahi I ordered was outstanding, as was the Ceviche and the Arroz con Pollo we shared at the table. Service was excellent, and the restaurant has a full bar with a solid bourbon selection and superb margaritas.
The real draw here is the incredible view from the open air dining room, taking in the spectacular Dominical coast with its forested hills and rocky shoreline. Leave a few minutes after lunch to explore the short path behind the restaurant, which leads to an scenic overlook on the water -- the perfect spot for a family photo. A fabulous find in a memorable location, La Parcela is worth a visit from anywhere in the Puntarenas region.

We recently dined at the restaurant (staying at the Lattice House near Uvita for the week of Jan 21st) and it was fantastic meal. There were six of us; three couples. I personally had the Grilled Lobster special. It was amazing. Three whole grill pacific lobsters were served, along with roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables. Too much for for one person, but I managed to eat it all! Lol. And only $21K in local money or $38 USD. SUCH A DEAL!!!
We arrived at sunset and enjoyed the great ocean views (along with the roving monkeys). A bit of a crazy trek to get to the place - almost a mile on dirt road, once you turn off highway 34. Asked a stopped taxi (headed in the opposite direction) if we were headed the right way!
Make sure you stop here if you're in the area. You'll not be disappointed.

The location as fantastic with monkeys, a perfect sunset view, birds and quietness. The service is great with beers served in cold glasses. Great choice of local food options and the quality excellent also. We had 2 starters (Ceviche and Soup), 4 main courses (Fish fillet, Chicken with Rice, Seafood with Rice and Bruschetta) plus beer for 5 and it came to $120 which is expensive, but you pay for the location and quality.

La Parcela is situated on a tiny peninsula in Dominical. Although it sits in a lush jungle, the views through the trees are ocean views on both sides of the restaurant. We went there on a recommendation from our airbnb concierge and quickly discovered it is the absolute best restaurant from Dominical all the way to Uvita. We stopped looking for other options. Great wines, amazing cocktails and amazing food. Here’s the best part. At around 4 pm the monkeys start coming around and the really put in a show. The bar is happy to give you pineapple slices to feed them. So we started going for late lunch and then later dinner. Can say enough about this place

This is probably my fourth review over the last 12 years or so, I have followed La Parcela's ups and downs over those years. I want to love La Parcela because it is the closest restaurant to our villas in Dominical. Our most recent visit in November, 2021, was fantastic. We went early to catch the sunset, which seemed to be more visible than in previous visits, perhaps due to some careful pruning. The view was great, as were the drinks and entrees. We had a combination of foods, but mostly fresh fish, and all meals were wonderful. The service was slow, but the place was packed, even though the threat of COVID and the rainy season impacted most other restaurants in the area.
It's so nice to have a lovely restaurant with great food in the Dominicalito area. I feel comfortable giving La Parcela five stars, and recommend it highly to visitors in the area.
PS: the monkeys are showing up regularly on the S side of the restaurant, and were very entertaining. Around 5:15PM.

We had been looking for a different restaurant (Por Que No? - which we've learned has closed since we visited last time). We turned down a long direct road and glad we had 4 wheel drive (I think there was another entrance but how we stumbled upon it made it so much better). We had 7 adult (family w/ significant others) and had an amazing time. Our server spoke quite a bit of english. We went around 8pm, and were the last table of the night. I believe they close early if no one is in so keep that in mind.
What we ordered & loved
Appetizers: Tuna Tartar, Avocado Ceviche & fish Ceviche
Meals: (I can't find them online to share aside from the Shrimp pasta & a Tuna Steak)
Drinks: can't even mention - they were all great
They accept cards & did split bills (we told them as we were seated)

On top of being only a couple m’ from our rental this place has really nice views, but more importantly, good food and good service.
We went there a couple times and weren’t at all disappointed with anything that was served, cocktails, food or dessert.
I don’t know if my tuna was Mahi Mahi (didn’t ask) but it was delicious. Perfectly cooked truly rare and so tender.
They have quite a few vegetarian options that satisfied those in our party who required them.
Their choice of vegetarian ice cream is awesome, even for non vegetarians! Try the spicy chocolate 😉
Check out the pictures of you want a sampler.
Enjoy!

La Parcela was recommended to us by our tour guide at Hacienda Baru. We could not have been more pleased with both the view, and the incredible food. Service was impeccable. Easily my favorite restaurant on the Osa Peninsula. The ceviche, tuna tartare, shrimp scampi, poke bowl, and kids menu items were all fantastic!
