Restaurante Grano de Oro

Known for its Costa Rican–fusion cuisine, this stately, flower-filled restaurant is one of San José’s top dining destinations. The menu features unusual specialties such as sea bass breaded with toasted macadamia nuts, or seared duck crowned with caramelized figs. There's an encyclopedic international wine list. For dessert, don’t miss the coffee-cream mousse. Dinner reservations recommended.
