FAQs

What guests ask us most

What time do you open?

Every day. From November to April and June to August, 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. In May, September and October, 12:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Where are you?

In Cerro Plano de Monteverde, 25 metres northeast of Escuela Rafael Arguedas, a few minutes from Santa Elena.

Can I eat before or after a night tour?

Yes. Night tours usually start around 6 p.m.; eat before, or come back after, since we are open until 9:00 p.m. (8:30 p.m. in low season). Roads get foggy after dark, so if you are driving, an early dinner is a good idea.

Is Costa Rican beef good?

Ours is. It comes from our own farm in Guacimal and is dry-aged 21 to 60 days, which makes it more tender and deeper in flavour than typical beef in Costa Rica.

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking right in front of the restaurant.

How do I book a table?

On WhatsApp or by phone at +506 8470-8000. You can also call +506 2645-5452.

What is dry-aged beef?

Beef aged in dry air. Ours comes from the family farm in Guacimal and ages 21 to 60 days in the dining-room case: Tomahawk, T-Bone and Sirloin.

Do you have pizza?

Yes, nine varieties, including one topped with dry-aged beef. It is what families order most.

Do you deliver?

No delivery. You can dine in or order your food to go.

We'll be waiting in Cerro Plano. Message us to make sure of your table.
