Get to know me better

Deeply passionate about Costa Rican cuisine, constantly refining and elevating each traditional dish to its highest culinary expression.

Hello, I’m David, a chef from San José. My goal is to preserve Costa Rican gastronomy and elevate it to its highest expression.

I see every dinner as an opportunity to showcase the true value of my country’s cuisine. I love sharing everything I know with my clients, but even more importantly, I love learning.

If you decide to hire me, I would love for you to share a fun fact about your country or culture.

Pura vida!
