    We had a great experience on a small birthday celebration. Food was great. Fresh and new flavors I don’t usually get in other restaurants. Service was excellent. We will definitely come back. Also really easy to book through OpenTable. Keep up the good food and service!

    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!
