Silvestre

Restaurants, Barrio Amón, San José

Interior design and remodeling of Silvestre restaurant, set in a 1940s Art Deco house in the heart of Barrio Amón. The project reinterprets traditional Costa Rican cuisine with chef Santiago Fernández Benedetto, and every room tells its story through antiques from the house’s era, such as chandeliers and light fixtures. Original furniture was restored and reinterpreted alongside new Art Deco-inspired pieces, while wallpapers, bold colors and rotating art make the restaurant a gallery too.
