The interesting thing about restaurants is that opinions are so subjective. I can and do forget Fogo-Brasil easily. I think it is wildly over priced for mediocre food.
YMMV

So any recomendations on restaurants? If you had 3nights in San Jose, and wanted different food every night, what are the 3 restaurants you would choose? Cost is always a consideration, but I like good food. So 30bux is fine. What's the best grub available? Thanks in advance! |

Black..... If you are a beef man you have got to go to the place in Escazu that Vegas Bob recommends. If he doesn't respondto this post PM him. Best beef I have ever put in my mouth in SJO. Berk.... |

Here are my 3, but as always YMMV: La Esquina de Buenos Aires--Argentinian steakhouse (10% CRT discount w/ card) -very good steaks (recommendation: beef tenderloin w/ mushroom sauce) La Princesa Marina--seafood -excellent seafood (recommend: ceviche is AWESOME!) Costa del Sol--pasta/pizza (10% CRT discount w/ card) -the spaghetti was pretty good -the chicken parm is good I hear |

It is only available for lunch but in my opinion Delicias Del Peru is the best restaurant in San Jose just up street from Zona Blue Nothing like lunch and a massage of vice versa.rbc100 |

Escazu is about a 20 minute cab ride from the gulch. |

I have a bit more varied tastes than most, but if you ask me the don't miss I would add Donde Carlos to the list... 5 mins from the Gulch, best atmosphere thats close by extremely reasonable pricing outstanding service and not having been to VB's place in Escazu which I will try shortly top 3 Beef places in SJO.. IMHO Italian Ancora still provides a Great variety in an nice cozy envorinment La Esquina is a great place to Try Bakea located in Barrio Amon different and extremely interesting selection and presentation of food.. Lunch Soda Peru Machu Pichu Top my list... There are many more but a few selections from me. |

That's where my wingman and I are staying. What exactly is so interesting about the presentation? Makes me very curious. I travel quit a bit within the US and am always looking for good restaurants where ever I go. I really really love food. One of life's great joys for certain. |
