• Dining Bar • San José

The rooftop of Hotel Presidente is home to Azotea Calle 7, a perfect shelter from the busy –and sometimes chaotic– heart of San José. You can enter through Calle 7, between Avenida Central and Avenida Segunda, either by climbing the red spiral staircase that takes you right into the red-brick terrace, surrounded by colorful veraneras (bougainvillea plants), palm, jicaro, orange and lime trees whose fruits might end up in your cocktail.

You first encounter a secret garden surrounded by water and native Mexican plants, setting the stage for a sonic, sensory, and visual journey that takes you to Mexico without leaving Costa Rica. Our menu is inspired by cantina cuisine, traditional dishes, and ancestral techniques that enrich every preparation. Everything is enjoyed around a table designed for sharing

• International • San José
Booked 5 times today
Welcome to Park Café, a fine dining gem in San José, Costa Rica, nestled inside my partner’s charming hacienda-style antiques store and gallery, creating a truly unique and intimate dining atmosphere. The restaurant is run by me, Richard Neat, a two star Michelin chef with a passion for creative cuisine. I earned my second Michelin star in London before turning 30, thereafter commencing a culinary journey that has taken me across the globe—cooking in India, Marrakech, Cannes, and Moscow—before settling in the heart of beautiful Costa Rica.Each one of my dishes is paired with hand-selected wines from around the world, and our signature cocktails—featuring our famous “ice bombs”—offer a flavorful twist without dilution. It’s a place where guests become friends, and where we strive to create not just a meal, but a memorable fine dining experience.If you’re looking for something personal, creative, and unforgettable, I hope to welcome you soon to Park Café.
