The rooftop of Hotel Presidente is home to Azotea Calle 7, a perfect shelter from the busy –and sometimes chaotic– heart of San José. You can enter through Calle 7, between Avenida Central and Avenida Segunda, either by climbing the red spiral staircase that takes you right into the red-brick terrace, surrounded by colorful veraneras (bougainvillea plants), palm, jicaro, orange and lime trees whose fruits might end up in your cocktail.

    This is a must-try place. We are staying at the hotel and we’ve eaten here before. An eclectic menu makes for a very interesting dinner. The cocktails are phenomenal. Very creative and very beautiful. As for the service, it is top-notch. Everyone speaks to you whether you’re in their station or not. Our go-to server is Yara. She is amazing. She makes sure you never want for anything and her personality is cheerful, professional, and sincere. Love this place. I highly recommend the Cerviche De Corvina as an app. Delicious. I had the shrimp pasta for dinner, which was delightful. Many shrimp tossed in tagliatelle pasta with a light tomato based sauce. Also delicious.
