I have been traveling\u00a0to Puerto Rico quite often in preparation of my upcoming book, Dining Traveler Guide to Puerto Rico<\/a> and in doing so have experienced some delicious meals.\u00a0 There are so many places to eat in San Juan and the list gets longer as friends rave of new restaurants popping up in the city.\u00a0 Just as in many other countries, there has been a culinary revival in Puerto Rico, especially rehashing old recipes and utilizing local ingredients.\u00a0 I made this list combining not only my favorites but also asking my friends and family who live on the island for their picks.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Cocktails at St Germain Old San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dining Traveler\u2019s Picks: Places to Eat in San Juan<\/em><\/h2>\n
\"Places<\/a>
Plantain “Ara\u00f1itas” with Crab & Seaweed at Santaella Restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Santaella<\/a>: The Placita<\/em> (farmer\u2019s market) of Santurce has been a center of Puerto Rican food for decades.\u00a0 Lately, there\u2019s been a crop of amazing restaurants popping up in that area. One of them is Santaella.\u00a0 I recently dined there and the menu is deliciously inventive.\u00a0 Try the crab on a large bed of fried shredded plantains (aranitas) and the fried red snapper.\u00a0 Dining Traveler Tip:\u00a0 The restaurant is quite busy in the evening, lunch service is much more relaxed.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Salad at St Germain Restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

St. Germain<\/a>: \u00a0Old San Juan is one of my favorite places in Puerto Rico. With its colorful buildings and its narrow cobblestone streets, it is popular with locals and tourists alike.\u00a0 St Germain has a hip fresh vibe merging European and Puerto Rican cuisine.\u00a0 I had a deliciously colorful salad with skirt steak and local veggies.\u00a0 Dining Traveler Tip:\u00a0 My friends rave about their brunch, be sure to make a reservation.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Pizza at Pirilo Pizza Rustica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pirilo Pizza Rustica<\/a>:\u00a0 Another local favorite in Old San Juan is Pirilo Pizza Rustica.\u00a0 Located in Calle Fortaleza, it is a tiny spot beloved by tourists and locals alike.\u00a0 I enjoyed their large pizzas which arrive on a pedestal at your table.\u00a0 The prices are reasonable, especially for Viejo San Juan.\u00a0 Not to miss: their sangria.\u00a0 It has a unique touch of crushed anise, delicious.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
The Chocolate Grilled Cheese at Cortes Choco Bar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Casa Cortes Chocobar<\/a>: \u00a0Cortes Chocolate has been a staple of Puerto Rican cuisine for many years.\u00a0 I recall dipping thick slices of gouda cheese into my hot chocolate cortes as a kid growing up on the island.\u00a0 This classic combination (at least for Puerto Ricans) comes alive in their chocolate grilled cheese sandwich.\u00a0 When I saw it on the menu I was intrigued and it did not disappoint. It took me back to my childhood.\u00a0 Not to miss: The art gallery onsite.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Seared Local Duck at 1919<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1919 at Condado Vanderbilt<\/a>: Looking for a decadent dining space?\u00a0 1919 is the perfect backdrop for a special occasion with its sexy dining room with rows of glimmering crystals on its flat chandeliers.\u00a0 Some of the highlights of the refined menu of Chef Jose Cuevas include local seared duck and a rich chocolate cake for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Lech\u00f3n Asado at Soleil in Pi\u00f1ones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Soleil Beach Club<\/a>: Back in 2008 I had my 30th<\/sup> birthday party at this institution in the Pi\u00f1ones<\/em> neighborhood of San Juan.\u00a0 Everything was perfect: the flawless lechon with its crispy skin, the morcillas<\/em> (blood sausage), and arroz con gandules.\u00a0 I was surprised and happy to see that Chef Juan Carlos still keeps this delicious menu alive (and consistent) eight years later as I recently attended a wedding at this restaurant. Dining Traveler tip: head there midday for great views of the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
The Rubitini at Budatai

Budatai<\/a>: \u00a0Some of my favorite cuisines: Thai, Japanese, and Puerto Rican come together at this local favorite in the Condado neighborhood of San Juan.\u00a0 This is a favorite of one of my friends who lives nearby.\u00a0 Their menu is a creative variation of the traditional Puerto Rican restaurants you may encounter when looking for places to eat in San Juan.\u00a0 From their sushi selection to their pork guisado dumplings, the menu caters to every palate.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
The Medianoche Sandwich at Kasalta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kasalta<\/a>: There\u2019s a place that I never miss on my trips to Puerto Rico. The name is Kasalta.\u00a0 Sometimes I literally land, pick up my rental, and end up at this place as my first stop.\u00a0 This panaderia (bakery) is an institution at the Ocean Park neighborhood of San Juan.\u00a0 Even President Obama has eaten here!\u00a0 My favorite item is the medianoche (midnight) sandwich. It\u2019s a grilled soft baguette with fresh roasted pork, ham, swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles. Just magical.\u00a0 I always end my lunch with a cortado coffee with a quesito (puff pastry filled with cream cheese).<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Fried Red Snapper at Asere
Photo Courtesy of Asere<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Asere<\/a>:\u00a0 Another favorite among friends, Asere brings the flavors of Cuba to Puerto Rico at La Placita de Santurce.\u00a0 New to the San Juan restaurant scene, it has quickly built a following.\u00a0 Chef Marino has included recipes from his grandmother to the menu to include grilled octopus, Cuban sandwich, and cod fillet with tomatoes and melon.\u00a0 Dining Traveler Tip:\u00a0 have a drink at their lounge and take in their gorgeous Spanish design.<\/p>\n

\"Acacia<\/a>
Duck Confit Pastelon at Niche Bistro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Niche Bistro<\/a>: \u00a0This tiny restaurant tucked away at Acacia Boutique Hotel<\/a>, in my opinion one of the best kept secrets in San Juan.\u00a0 French Chef David Chaymol has created a \u201cFrancorican\u201d menu merging French classics with Puerto Rican ingredients.\u00a0 I still think about the duck confit plantain pastelon I had, it was one of the best dishes I\u2019ve had on the island. \u00a0Save room for dessert: the souffl\u00e9 made with Mallorca bread and a berry sauce is not to be missed.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/a>
Carlis & I at Casa Cortes Old San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are so many places to eat in San Juan that the list can go on and on.\u00a0 It has been interesting to see the evolution of Puerto Rican gastronomy throughout the years.\u00a0 From unlikely cultural combinations, to the classics, there is no shortage of where to dine in the capital of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
