It is our priority to select fresh and sustainable local ingredients whenever possible. Under the expertise of our French chef Francis Canal, this haute cuisine restaurant is a very popular place for locals and tourists alike. Open daily from 7am to 10pm, the restaurant has the charming atmosphere of a magnificent period house with an elegant interior patio.
The flavors and presentation of our dishes show incredible attention to detail and reflect the passion with which they are created. Responsibly caught fresh fish features prominently on our menu, enhanced by a variety of delicious sauces, ranging from the simple perfection of a cardamom cream to the Mediterranean influence of fresh tomato. Or if you prefer, you can try our Costa Rican tenderloin accompanied by a delicious glass of red wine chosen from our cellar.
Whether you choose to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or enjoy all three meals at the hotel, you'll be amazed at the varied selection of dishes to please all palates.
And of course, the pinnacle of a dinner at Grano de Oro is dessert. Our standout dessert, the Pie Grano de Oro, is a decadent mix of coffee and chocolate, while the more traditional Tarte Tatin ensures there's always room for dessert.
