Private Dining at Park Cafe or in your Home

It’s with greatest pleasure that we re-opened our restaurant here in Louise’s Antiques store at Park Cafe in the Fall of 2025.

We had originally closed the restaurant, along with everyone else, at the time of that hateful COVID pandemic. Afterwards, because of issues such as the scattering of my beloved team as well as supply problems, I decided to try my hand at some pop-ups and consultancies. Sadly, all were disappointing, definitely for me, probably for the people engaging me as well.

I simply can’t compromise as I cannot disrespect myself, my staff nor my customers by presenting something that is not good enough.

Anyway, only at Park Cafe, and on my terms, can I produce the style and quality of food that I’ve spent my entire life practicing. 

Private Lunches and Dinners at Park Cafe. 

We are very privileged by the fact that Park Cafe is actually an Antiques store so the environment is stunning, making it a perfect venue for small functions from 6 to twenty people.

Drinks, including a range of our signature cocktails such as the Park Cafe Gin & Tonic that is chilled with a frozen (unsweetened) Cucumber and Mint Sorbet Taste Bomb that chills and flavors without diluting with nasty water ice cubes. These can be served in our beautiful internal garden, before sitting down to lunch or dinner, where I would recommend a fixed tasting menu with matching wines.

Private Events in your Home

Had the pleasure of cooking in some of the most beautiful homes in Costa Rica, whether in San Jose or at the beaches, I’ll help you with all aspects of your dinner, whether staff, crockery and glasses, paired wines and cocktails. Can arrive with prep, though most items, as is best, will be finished at the moment on site.
