Perched in the hills of Nosara with breathtaking ocean views, La Catedral is a creative house where author cuisine, mixology, and art come together.
The restaurant features a fusion menu inspired by France and Italy, created by Lisa Lemkin, a French chef and co-owner, who brings her family recipes and refined European flavors to every dish. The bar, led by Italian co-owner Luca Silvani, celebrates the art of mixology with signature cocktails that combine local ingredients and global techniques.
The artistic and entertainment direction is curated by Costa Rican co-owner Roberto Acuña, who turns La Catedral into a lively hub for art exhibitions, live music, and cultural events.
Beyond dining, La Catedral also hosts a boutique featuring European fashion brands and local designers. More than a restaurant, it’s one of Nosara’s most inspiring ocean-view destinations — a place to eat, drink, and be creatively alive.

Muazzzi is a Jerusalem-inspired Middle Eastern restaurant in Nosara, Costa Rica, located minutes from Playa Guiones. Led by Chef Muaz Mansour, whose career spans Michelin-starred kitchens and elite private chef work, Muazzzi brings the depth of Jerusalem’s markets to Nosara’s dinner scene.
The menu centers on a bold Hummus Bar with warm slow-cooked chickpeas folded into tahini and layered with smoked eggplant, wild mushrooms, falafel, charred chicken, or grilled beef. From charcoal-grilled shawarma and beef arayes to crisp schnitzel and Wagyu flat iron, every plate balances smoke, spice, acidity, and crunch. Fresh pita and house-made sauces like amba, zhoug, and toum complete the experience.
Intimate and night-forward, Muazzzi is a destination for dinner in Nosara and Playa Guiones.
Reservations recommended.
