Heaven on earth...or at least in a treetop I cannot emphasise how amazing this place is. From start to finish I felt like royalty. The food, service, drinks and atmosphere was absolutely amazing! Cannot recommend enough.

Best Creative Restaurant in Costa Rica We travel everywhere and always seek out the best restaurants we can find. Some countries offer an abundance. Others just a few spectacular ones among a multitude of good and not so good. While prepping for a 15 day private tour of Costa Rica we found 2. San Lucas Treetop Dining Experience is one. Here there are just 8 tables each in a private glassed in room built high inside the tree canopy and served by a dedicated waiter for each. They offer a pair of tasting menus but if you come for sunset there is only one. The only option is a wine pairing or other drink choices. The menu is made up of unique dishes presenting various Costa Rican tastes in a modernist way. Each was delicious Michelin quality. The word “Experience” is often abused but here it is earned. Beyond great taste, the menu is designed around flavors found in each CR province in a grand tour of the country. Theater is added by presenting the amuse bouche course in an actual small suitcase and food descriptions in a pseudo passport and culminates with a feat of magic at the end. It can get chilly after the sun goes down so dress a bit warmly when you come. But do come, if you can get a reservation. This was a unique meal for CR or for anywhere in the world. And isn’t this one of the reasons we travel?

A world class fine dining experience is a unique setting!! This place easily competes with fine dining spots in much more urban areas. The food was inventive and wonderful. The cocktail pairing was also very well done. The service is amazing from start to finish. My wife had the wine pairing. She loved all of the selections, but they were poured very lightly so that just a splash of each was served with each course. The location is truly exceptional. The wind was blowing through the trees, and we watched both the moon and the Southern Cross rise during dinner. You should definitely go eat here.

Einmalig schönes Erlebnis Tolles Mittagessen mit regionalen Zutaten in hervorragender Qualität. Einmaliges Erlebnis: Essen und Geniessen direkt im Blätterdach des Nebelwalds. Wir hatten Besuch von einem Toucanet-Päärchen und einem Coati <3. Ausserordentlich freundliche Bedienung mit vielen Hintergrundinfos zu Land und Leuten. Jederzeit wieder 🙂

Wow - the best dining experience of our lives This was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica and is a go-to if you are in Monteverde. What's not to love? An 11 course tasting menu with wine/ cocktail or mocktail pairings. An elevated feast for the senses. A journey around Costa Rica with food and drinks pairings in a private VIP glass dining area. It was exquisite. All of the staff were amazing. and the views are to be seen to be believed.

Fine dinning in luxury Great setting and amazing service. Food and presentation was unique and interesting. The sunset view is unbelievable— recommend a 5:00 seating to catch the sunset. It’s very private so ideal for romantic dinner or family gathering. Highly recommend if looking for a fine dinning experience in a luxurious setting.

Maravilloso, 10/10 Fue la experiencia más maravillosa de todo Costa Rica . Han estado en cada detalle, incluso antes de que uno lo perciba. Fue un viaje de sabores y una experiencia gastronómica divina. Tuvimos la suerte de ser atendidos por Eric, nada hubiera sido igual sin su guía y simpatía. El sitio es maravilloso, acogedor, íntimo. La comida todo una experiencia, a diferencia de otros fine dinning, abundante. Te vas de allí habiendo comido 9 platos en perfectas cantidades Lo recomiendo totalmente

Five Star + No question - while in Monteverde do not miss this experience at sunset. We were fortunate to discover availability during our recent stay and simply could not have been more impressed. World class sunset, service and 9 impressive courses. Favorite meal in Costa Rica - and maybe all time favorite!!!
