La Yerbatera

Restaurante clandestino en el corazón de San José.
Gastronomía y coctelería de autor.
Una experiencia gastronómica te dejarás seducir por las plantas e ingredientes tradicionales de nuestra tierra latinoamericana.

En la Yerbatera utilizamos prácticas ancestrales gastronómicas. Todas nuestras recetas son preparadas en el momento con productos orgánicos y cosechas del día. En nuestro menú encontrarás opciones veganas y vegetarianas.

La Yerbatera es recobrar las prácticas ancestrales y de nuestras abuelas que conocían la naturaleza y sus propiedades curativas. Es un viaje en el tiempo al momento en que las yerbateras nos curaban con sus deliciosas recetas medicinales.

    Lastimosamente este restaurante lo sienta a uno en una mesa y cuando ocupan la mesa para más personas; le dicen a uno que se tiene que cambiar del lugar donde uno ha estado por 3 horas, moviendo sus cocteles y comida porque ellos “cometieron un error” con la asignación de la mesa. Uno no mueve a un cliente que está consumiendo, es mal educado, para darle la mesa a otras personas que llegaron después. El ambiente muy lindo pero no hay servicio al cliente. Los errores del restaurante no pueden ser trasladados a costa de la experiencia del cliente.

    It was really disappointing. The vibe was okay but food absolutely terrible and the service was sluggish at best. Drinks were okay and probably the highlight of an otherwise disappointing experience.

    A mix between Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter with fabulously creative and delicious food! Costa Rican products used in exceptional ways and a refreshing sense of humor and wonder! Even for conservative old Europeans, a terrific experience.

    Estuvo bien, mi comida llegó un poco fría, y el servicio un poco lento, pero todo lo demás muy bien. Buen lugar para cenar diferente.

    Increíble concepto, fusionan la genial idea de un tipo de alquimia con los productos de la tierra con una gran cocina. Excelentemente ejecutado. La ambientación del lugar increíble, muy apegada al concepto que ofrecen. Muy complacidos con la experiencia.
