The best restaurants San José

Installed in a small house from the end of the 19th century, this restaurant run by an Argentinean is by far one of the best restaurants in the capital. Javier Peire wanted to recreate the atmosphere of the Argentine restaurants of the 1940s, and it is very successful. A deliciously romantic atmosphere amplified by tango tunes. As for the dishes, everything is delicious. The meats are good to die for, especially since they are perfectly sauced (Malbec or Roquefort in particular).

The Viennese folklore has an appointment on the heights of the Central Valley for typically ticas evenings. You will listen to the traditional dishes (in buffet form and with an open drink bar). The most awaited show is that of traditional dress dancers. Let us not forget the panorama offered by this viewpoint, where the festival is especially honoured in the week. A safe value for almost 50 years!

Located on the ground floor of Gran Hotel Costa Rica, the spacious, airy restaurant overlooks the hotel's gallery and Culture square. It has a stylish and elegant décor, where the nearby glass with wrought iron, gives a touch of actuality to a classic decor. Old photographs of the capital adorn the walls, reminiscent of the years of the past. The international cuisine card is long, with fish specialities (ceviche, salmon carpaccio), meat (mignon net), pasta and smooth desserts; the wine list is provided and interesting. A pianist animates meals from to and from to.

In a quiet environment with soft lights like music, it offers international cuisine with tropical and Mediterranean touches. The map is very balanced with salads, meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Among the Chef's specialties: lomito with figs. And for desserts: the chocolate fondue with genuine Swiss chocolate, the sorbets are made home. The wine list is equally balanced. The prices are very reasonable. A good table to recommend.

Famous Argentine restaurant and (well) frequented for its quality meat.

One of the oldest pizzerias in San José.
