Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Old San Juan

The market price fried Red Snapper was excellent and the same for the Braised beef and the rice side dishes were excellent.

All of our meals were excellent, we shared a taste of each meal and all agreed the taste of each was great. Service was fast

We had an amazing dinner experience at Eter Rooftop! The signature cocktails were absolutely fantastic and a perfect start to the evening. For dinner, I ordered the steak and gnocchi, while my husband had the chicken breast with plantain. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, and we were thoroughly impressed with the flavors and presentation. The service was exceptional—our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made the evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for her! To top it all off, the view was breathtaking, making it a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend Eter Rooftop for a special night out!

Fantastic experience at Cocina Abierta! The food and presentation were amazing. Truly a 5-star experience. We had the 5-course tasting menu and each course was great. Our favorite was the tuna carpaccio and beefsteak, but all were excellent. Puerto Rican fine dining at its best!

Carli’s will always be a go-to when I’m in San Juan. The atmosphere is lovely, the food fantastic, and the music wonderful. Seeing Carli play during my visit was a real treat! He even played The Tennessee Waltz and Rocky Top on that beautiful grand piano. Wow! BTW, best escargot I’ve ever eaten.
