An intimate counter in the heart of San José

El Taller de Billy Sazón is a family-run, reservation-only restaurant in Rohrmoser, San José, devoted to avant-garde Costa Rican cuisine.

Each tasting menu begins with Costa Rican ingredients, traditions and memory, and reinterprets them through precise technique. Chef Billy and his team present every course at the counter and share the stories, ingredients and methods behind it.

With a maximum of 10 guests per service, the evening is personal and unhurried: about two and a half hours, with an alcoholic or non-alcoholic pairing for every course.

Reservations are required.

Costa Rican tradition, reinterpreted

Our cuisine starts with what Costa Rica has always cooked: its markets, its producers and its family recipes. We study them, respect them and take them somewhere new.

The menu is a surprise. Dishes are revealed only at the table, so every course arrives as a discovery.

Whether you are celebrating, traveling through San José or simply curious about Costa Rican cuisine, the experience is the same: one tasting menu, served with care, at a counter where the kitchen is part of the conversation.
