    This place has the best burgers in CR. Always consistently juicy, cooked to perfection, and served with the truffle fries which are to die for. I mean the service is great, and the steak, salads and seafood are excellent but if you ever have a taste for a great burger, they also provide that.

    Everything was great except for a surcharge on additional “salsa” which was both expensive and ridiculous. This details matter

    Great place for any occasion! This time we enjoyed the cocktails and a special suggestion of tender beef picanha with fungi risotto. Delicious meal in nice weather and ambiance.

    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!
