The 21 Best Restaurants in San José, Costa Rica | Eater

"In February 2020, chefs Henry Quesada, Kid May Chan, and Aldo Elizondo, longtime friends, opened an asador creativo (creative roaster). Inside a contemporary dining room — softened by a dark wood slat ceiling and furnishings and surrounded by fauna — cuts of ultra-tender 45-day dry-aged bone-in tenderloin and 100-day grass-fed porterhouse (raised on the restaurant’s farm) melt in your mouth. An intricate terrarium, fashioned from cured trout and produce plucked from the garden, dazzles with fresh, vibrant ingredients. Dishes are paired with innovative cocktails that are just as splashy as the food, plus an impressive list of international wines." - Bill Esparza
