"This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Costa Rica. If you like food with a delicious fancy French twist this is the place for you. They also do special items on special holidays so be sure to check their social media!"

"Stopped in for a quick breakfast and went with the eggs benny—no regrets. Poached eggs were on point, hollandaise was smooth and buttery, and the whole plate came together just right."

"Highly recommend! A gourmet brunch complete with a visit from the Chef and fantastic service in a light, neat, and inviting space. Pictured first is Eggs Benedict with a bit of beetroot purée mixed into the hollandaise sauce, next is a huevos empanados rancheros, and the final pic is the frozen macha tea and an iced latte. While they gladly seated us for Sunday brunch without a reservation, it may be a good idea to make one if you know you’re coming in advance."
