    Prices have gone up, but the food quality or offer has not, as well as portions. If you rise your prices than you better rise up with service and details. As always, the service is awful, however before because of your quality price value it did not bother me, now it is insulting. The owner should be there.

    Simplemente delicioso, la comida 20/10. El servicio también fue grandioso, recomiendo para ir en un plan de cita o bien con amigos. Los cocteles y oferta de vinos naturales son maravillosos

    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!

    Brilliantly understated yet above par on all parameters. Value deal for the experience and can’t wait to go back. Everything was amazing but the cordero was something special.

    Bien! Solo que la mesa de al lado demasiado ruidosa. Grupos grandes es mejor acomodarlos en los salones aparte
