Mandrágora Gastro Pub — Restaurant in Carmen

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...

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 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,...

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.
