It was an absolutely mind-blowing experience at one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica! This place is a dream come true for Harry Potter fans. The entire setting is meticulously designed to immerse you in the magical world of Hogwarts. From the incredible Harry Potter collection—including robes, posters, a telephone booth, paintings, and statues of iconic characters like Dobby and Hedwig—to the Sorting Hat and countless goodies, every detail is perfect. The menu is brilliantly crafted, featuring dishes named after characters from the Harry Potter movies. For vegetarians, I highly recommend the Hermione Burger—it comes in two pieces with a massive, juicy mushroom between the bread, and it’s simply delicious. The butter beer is served in small shot glasses and is a must try for anyone visiting this restaurant. To make the experience even more magical, guests are encouraged to wear robes, grab a broom, and snap some enchanting photos. If you’re a Potterhead or just looking for a unique dining adventure, this place is an absolute must-visit.

After reading a few reviews, I think it's safe to say that this place has transformed considerably since opening. When we went, everything was outstanding. The staff seemed as excited to be there as we were. The food was incredible (Chiles Dursley was fantastic, and the Hemioni Burger was about the only time I've enjoyed a mushroom burger in the past decade). The Cerveza de Mantequilla (butter beer) was good, though nothing rivals the Caliz De Fuego, which I'd place among the best cocktails I've had. I can't recommend this place enough. Clean, great service, everything in theme. We even chatted a bit about our Hogwarts houses and favorite Harry Potter moments with the staff. A note for English-speaking tourists: you'll need to translate the menu and the staff only speak a little English. Don't be deterred, it's worth it.

Really cool place, and after have tried several ones around atenas town, we think this could be the best one, specially if you are road tripping from south or central pacific to the capital. Cool menu, couple vegetarian options, their kitchen for food closes at 10pm which is ware around the area. Also have nice drinks in their menu, good to socialize with friends. We tried vegi tacos, the fries, and an herbal gintonic. Attention was great also, guys explain you super well, they also know English. Is a nice place, we’re locals use to stop to grab some drinks and food. We had a good experience and we are sharing it.! Thanks again. If you are looking for recommendations don’t hesitate is contact us, we also know about tours and rentals around the country. Thanks again Mandrágora for welcome us for dinner.

I recently visited this Harry Potter-themed bar and it was truly magical! The bar perfectly captures the nostalgia of the Harry Potter series, bringing back sweet memories for fans. The dedication to detail is impressive, with items from the movies such as the Chamber of Secrets door, wax statues of Dobby, and an array of brooms. One of the highlights is getting to wear the robes from the various Hogwarts houses, adding to the immersive experience. The butterbeer was delightful and, to top it off, they play the theme music, which significantly enhances the magical atmosphere. Overall, it was an enchanting experience that I can't wait to relive. I will definitely go back again!

Place is amazing with friendly staff and plenty of accessories to try on and take unique pictures in the Harry Potter universe. Several rooms with different ambiances are making the place a pleasure to visit even for non fans. However the food was a bit overpriced for what it was, which is not so special and not especially tasty. The dessert we took was funny with a hat containing sweet stuff to sprinkle on the ice cream, however it wasn't very clear and they spread all over when we opened the hat. Nevertheless a fun experience.

Stumbled upon this jewel while searching the Barrio Escalante here. Wife thought it would be fun and the place did not disappoint! We took a walk down memory lane in this place: our kids grew up on Harry Potter and it brought so many memories back. Lots of HP memorabilia and the staff were attentive to details. We were taking pics when several staff members rushed over with robes, wands, and a sorting hat. They really get into it! 11/10 would recommend. Butter Beer is tasty and lots of drink options.
