Restaurante Grano De Oro

October 8, 2025

The restaurant at Hotel Grano de Oro is super beautiful, one of the nicest dinning places in San Jose, but it has a problem and is its chef. I mean... food is not bad but it's average... The quality of the ingredients can improve, for example instead of commercial butter they can use artisan and things like that. I ordered as a starter a beef tartare and it lacked of flavor and the beef wasn't very good for the price they charged. The beef raviolis were homemade which is something good but the stuffing tasted old, like fridge flavor and the use of canned tomatoes was notable in the sauce. The concept is classic French cuisine with some local touches but honestly the chef needs to step his game in French cuisine. I think people does not complain about the place because it is beautiful and it's customer service is great, but culinary wise is nothing memorable or to die for.

Fantastic restaurant high end. Food was very well prepared and healthy options. Gluten free alternatives available. Romeu was our server and did a great job. Good variety of wines.

Very classy restaurant! The ambience here is wonderful with very professional staff. The courtyard is awesome, and the entire experience was great. Price isn't too bad either for such a high-quality restaurant.

This restaurant is part of the charming Grano de Oro hotel but is open to non-guests as well and it came highly recommended, for good reason. Breakfast was outstanding and the outdoor seating very pleasant. Indoors looks very chic as well, as a 19th century hacienda. Service was pleasant and quick. Breakfast choices were plenty but of course you have to try a traditional tico breakfast. We returned a few days later for dinner and while not quite as good as the breakfast, it was well worth the return visit.

The restaurant has excellent food and a posh atmosphere. The service was excellent and not pushy nor over attentive. Highly recommended.
