ABOUT CHANDRA

Guided by Light, Rooted in Love

Chandra is the culinary heart of Moon Gate — a sanctuary where food becomes ceremony, rhythm becomes inspiration, and every creation is an act of intention.

Created in collaboration with Casa Paniagua, Chandra is Moon Gate’s intimate dining space — a meeting point between land and sky, flavor and feeling, tradition and awareness.

Our philosophy begins with light.

Guided by the lunar cycle, our kitchen cooks in harmony with nature’s rhythm — honoring intuition, timing, and the quiet wisdom of the night.

Every dish is crafted with purpose and presence, celebrating Costa Rican heart, Mediterranean balance, and Ayurvedic principles of nourishment and alignment.

At Chandra, meals are infused with love — soulful, warm, personal, and deeply connected to the land. Our food is expressive yet grounded, modern yet timeless, designed to support the body, awaken the senses, and bring people together in mindful connection.

This is not just a restaurant.

It is a space where light guides the experience, love shapes the flavor, and the table becomes a place to feel held, nourished, and connected — to yourself, to others, and to the rhythm of the world around you.

Chandra Pop-Up Dinner

One Table. Ten Seats. Seven Courses.

Nightly at Chandra, the culinary heartbeat of Moon Gate
Arrival 7:00 PM • Dinner 7:30 PM

About the Experience

A one-table, seven-course, chef-curated dinner — intimate, elevated, and rooted in Costa Rican comfort food. This limited-edition pop-up is crafted by Casa Paniagua, the culinary team behind Moon Gate’s retreats and the creators of Luna Viva, Chandra’s signature dining ritual.

Guests begin with a welcome drink at 7:00 PM before taking a quiet, self-guided walk through the Trail of Senses.

As night settles over Chandra, the kitchen warms, lights soften, and the table becomes a place of connection — a preview of the culinary philosophy that will define Chandra.
