| Post subject: | Two New Restaurants - French Bistro and Steakhouse |
After my recent vaccination, I have been trying some new (to me) restaurants in San Jose. I found two that excel in quality, atmosphere, and price. Neither is cheap and neither cater to our clientele. I took a date to both, but a chica who looks and acts "classy". We felt welcome in both establishments. Le Bistrot de Paris on Paseo Colon is near Oasis and serves top quality breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've had both the American and French breakfasts along with the Croque Madam. At dinner I had the Duck Breast in Pepper Sauce. The atmosphere is casual, but a collared shirt and slacks are the norm. They do push their wine list a bit too much for my liking, but the food us that good. I first took a chica there for dinner, but have since returned 3 times for breakfast and to buy bread. They also have lunch specials, but I have not tried them. Furca in Rohrmoser is now my favorite restaurant in Costa Rica. Dry aged beef, wide ranging and innovative cuisine. At bit expensive, but great for a special occasion. I have had the Raclette (shared), their signature salad (also shared), and the Chateaubriand with sides of a stuffed portobello and a grilled tomato. Also, good cocktails. The atmosphere is more upscale, but still casual. https://www.furcacr.com/ Dinner for two with cocktails, shared appetizers and salad, main course with sides, coffee and shared dessert were around $100 at both places. Le Bistrot had less expensive options, Furca had more expensive. |

Enjoyed the reviews. Went to Furca website, no fotos of the inside. I presume just perfect, but is there a little bar to have one or two coming and going? I like doing that. Parking? $100 for that presentation is very reasonable. Super part of town to boot. |

We had reservations and sat in a kind of garden room overlooking their herb/vegetable garden. I did not notice any bar. Furca's facebook page has some inside photos along with more food porn. There is a menu with prices. It would be real easy to run up the bill if you or your guest were grazers. I am going back in September for a second visit. There was some off street parking, but I didn't really take notice. We used Uber. |
