Kalú Café & Food Shop

San José


Sharing a sleek space with Kiosco SJO in Barrio Escalante, chef Camille Ratton's exceptional cafe serves a global fusion menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas and unconventional delights such as the fish taco trio filled with mango-glazed salmon, red-curry prawns and macadamia-crusted tuna. Don't miss the mind-meltingly delicious passion-fruit pie (US$7, but you only live once).
