    I had a fantastic experience at Silvestre’s! Being a solo traveler, I am wary of making reservations for one.. I was treated very special and made to feel at home! All the hosts were excellent and I was happy to be taken care of by Paloma! Excellence in everything Thank you

    Sitting at the Chef’s Table is an unforgettable experience. It’s intimate, exclusive, and offers the perfect blend of privacy and excitement. The 5-course menu is pure perfection—every dish thoughtfully crafted and flawlessly executed. Watching the chef bring each plate to your table while the kitchen hums with energy adds an incredible, behind-the-scenes vibe. If you’re looking for a unique dining adventure, this is it.

    Everything was amazing from the tasting menu paired with some of the best wine selections. The ambience was very exquisite with perfect lighting to enhance the mood and for photo ops anywhere in the restaurant. Perfect for a date night and now will be on my favorite list. The chef came out and also enlightened us on the courses and gave us his time shared over dessert. Thank you.

    It's the fourth time I visit Buchon and it's definitely one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica. It is very difficult to find a place that has amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing ambience and service, and amazing prices. No matter what type of food you like, I guarantee you'll have an incredible experience at Buchon. Their menu changes seasonally but it has always delivered and they maintain customer favorites. The burger and cheese cubes are a MUST. If it's your first time visiting, don't worry about parking on the street or with the local guachiman, you're in good hands!
