El Taller de Billy Sazón

My wife and I are still talking about the amazing experience we had on Saturday. I've been a cook for over 25 years and the flavors, ideas and presentations far surpassed what I could ever hope to have achieved. I'm beyond inspired by Chef Dobles knowledge of Costa Rican culture and his creative interpretation of folklore to the plate. The intimate setting of the chefs table allows the diner an inside look into the tiny, 3 person Orchestra. The flavors were proud yet humble, bold but not dominating. The timing of each dish allowed for reflection and digestion. I'm sincerely very suprised that they do not have a star already. Very disappointing. They deserve world recognition. We are fortunate enough to live in Costa Rica and look forward to visiting again. Thank you Chefs.
An extraordinary dining experience in San José! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by an amazing team with truly outstanding service. The staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. The chef is not only talented but also brings such a cool and passionate energy to the whole place and the three wonderfully organized “kitchen fairies” create pure magic. Every dish (many!) was beautifully prepared and perfectly timed. The food itself was an unforgettable journey of flavors. Every of plate was refined, surprising, and modern, with a strong focus on fresh local ingredients. Each bite felt like a special taste explosion: creative combinations, elegant presentation, and flavors that kept surprising us in the best possible way. The location is stylish, relaxed, and full of character, adding even more to the overall experience. This is not just dinner: it’s a true culinary adventure. If you are in San José and looking for something exceptional, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!
If you are a foodie, do not miss this. Chef Billy offers a 12-course tasting menu with wine pairing. Very intimate experience — only 7 guests at the chef’s table when we went on a Saturday night. Chef Billy’s passion for Costa Rican ingredients and cuisine really shows. He explains each dish in both Spanish and English. If you’re looking for a Michelin-style dining experience in Costa Rica, this is absolutely worth it.
An unforgettable dining experience at El Taller de Billy Sazón. We enjoyed a 12-course tasting menu with 4 wine pairings, and every dish was creative, thoughtful, and inspired by Costa Rican history and traditions. The staff were warm and knowledgeable, and the restaurant has such a cool, moody atmosphere. Truly a unique experience and one of the most memorable meals we’ve ever had.
El Taller de Billy Sazón was hands down one of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had. Starting with the food, each course and wine pairing told a story about Costa Rican cuisine, joining flavors and ingredients I had never tasted before. Each dish is a surprise, and prepared in front of you by an INCREDIBLE staff. Billy himself is also such a treat and culinary master in his own right. I would 100% recommend visiting this restaurant on your next trip to San Jose, it is truly Michelin quality cuisine and an experience you will never forget.
