What are best resturants in San Juan PR for couple?


My wife and I will be in PR for a week and I’d like to know where to go. I have checked out Fodor’s but sometimes they leave out the local hotspots.

    Some ideas

    Old San Juan:
    Tapas bar at El Convento and they also have a new Rum bar
    Parrot Club
    Tantra
    Aqauviva
    Dragonfly
    Carli’s
    Amadeus
    raices

    Condado
    Ropa Vieja Grill - personal fav
    Ajili Mojili
    Mortons

    Isla Verde
    Miro’s - another fav
    Budati
    Metropol - another fav although I have not eaten at this location
    Pamela’s - you can eat on the beach and it gets good reviews - romantic spot

    If you have a car - head to El Yunque rainforest and do Luquillo beach in the aftrenoon - you can have lunch at the roadside kiosks - this is very local

    For a sunday head to the Guavate region for lechon (roast pig) again a very local thing to do.

    More ideas at my travel guide / blog
