Dining at Casa de los Celtas
At Casa de los Celtas we offer visitors fresh home cooking using the best of seasonally available Costa Rican produce. We are happy to cater for special dietary needs or food style preferences.
For breakfast, we provide a choice of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, orange juice, home-made bread, jams and marmalades, followed by a cooked breakfast of your choice.
Visitors wishing dinner on the night of arrival are asked to let us know in advance, and either make a selection from our menus or talk to us about their preferences.
