Inspired by the Charm of San Jose, Costa Rica
The vision behind Sweet Red Bistro took root in the sun-drenched city of San Jose, Costa Rica, a place brimming with European charm and an elegant, unhurried lifestyle. I spent nearly a year in this romantic setting, sipping café con leche at the historic Hotel Costa Rica, savoring fresh flavors in quaint cafés, and enjoying cocktails beneath the grandeur of the city’s theater. Each day was an invitation to pause, indulge, and appreciate life’s simple joys.
When I returned to Oregon, I poured my heart into my family, but that year’s magic never faded. It became my dream to recreate those cherished moments and share them with Albany. In 2011, Sweet Red Bistro opened on First Avenue, offering Albany locals and visitors alike a space to experience a touch of European-inspired elegance. By 2023, we expanded into our Second Avenue location, a historic venue purchased from our dear friends, the Novaks.
