Best restaurants or bars in San Juan

Marmalade was one of the best meals of my life. The white bean soup lived up to the hype. I still remember a drink at the bar before supper called "global warming". Was a refreshing blue cocktail with an ice ball in it, but the ice ball was chili infused water so as it melted it got spicy. Seems simple now, but blew my mind.

I second Marmalade. Jose Enrique. L’Osteria. Oceano. Santaella.

Was there for Thanksgiving. Jose Enrique was great. Went twice.

Best meal was Vianda. Outstanding food and service was perfect. Vianda is only restaurant in PR on Resy if looking for reservations.

Deaverdura in Old Town is casual PR food that was really good. Choice of 5 or 6 fresh juices - some interesting ones- with rum is a good starter.

1919 at the Vanderbilt was good but expensive and very formal.

Food at Junglebird was much better than expected for a bar. Same at La Factoria.

Another upvote for Marmalade.

Via Appia in the Condado area....sit at the bar. Looks like a pizza joint, which it is,and always busy, but sit at the bar. Forget the menu. Chat up the bartender. Ask for a cheese board, wow, then ask for a seafood pasta dish and the chef will knock it out of the park.
Never disappoints, always busy, owner and staff will welcome your desire for high quality wine and food.
