Check the weather forecast as the dining experience is closely tied to the open-air treetop setting.

The San Lucas Treetop Dining Experience at Sapo Dorado, located in the Chira Glamping hotel within Monteverde, offers a unique fine dining experience suspended above the treetops. This restaurant is designed for those who appreciate the synergy of cuisine and nature with its immersive setting amidst the forest canopy. The innovative cuisine draws inspiration from Costa Rica’s rich regional diversity, featuring tasting menus that highlight local flavors and culinary traditions.

Whether indulging in the 'Regions of Costa Rica' 6-course menu or the 'Tribute to Costa Rica' 9-course experience, diners are treated to a refined gastronomic journey that emphasizes storytelling through food. The shorter 6-course menu is available for guests with tight schedules, providing a flavorful yet brief exploration of Costa Rican regions and landscapes. The 9-course menu, on the other hand, is an elaborate culinary narrative designed to be enjoyed at sunset, creating a harmonious blend with the changing light over the Monteverde forest.

The setting is as significant as the cuisine, with elevated treetop tables offering both panoramic views and a sense of seclusion. The atmosphere within the venue is refined and relaxed, making it suitable for couples, travelers on a schedule, and those celebrating special occasions. Whether for lunch, dinner, or a sunset dining experience, San Lucas promises a direct connection to the elements and a distinctive culinary interpretation of Costa Rica’s ecological and cultural heritage.
