Outdoor restaurant/cafe in Old San Juan

[robgbrooklyn]

Can anyone recommend an outdoor restaurant/cafe in Old San Juan? We're planning to have dinner and/or drinks outside to enjoy the warm weather. We want to go to a local spot, non-touristy.:)

 

Thank you.

We had a very good meal here last week. Also a very good Pina Colada. They have both indoor seating and a outdoor courtyard.

We had a really nice lunch outside of El Convento at an outside restaurant. The white Sangria what delicious! We really loved sitting outside, ate tapas and drank and had a fab time!

Barrachina was very pretty and has good Pina coladas. I have eaten at Cafe Puerto Rico. While the seating outside is not that attractive the area is interesting and the food was really good. Also Carli's Cafe Concierto is a really fabulous place with Jazz. It is at the Banco Popular building.

Try Mojitos. Best salsa in the world and free chips while enjoying a cocktail. Also the flat iron steak is great. Marinated and grilled. We will be going back down there in a week before our next cruise. Looking forward to that on Saturday night.:)

We also enjoyed Barrachina's.

Try Raices in Old San Juan. Make sure you order the mofongo. It is a great place to eat, drink, and people watch. We have recommended it to a lot of folks and everyone LOVED IT!

Dragonfly and Dragonfly Too have outside seating (as well as inside) and the food was very good.

I can't name names....but there is a CAFE on LA PRINCESA paseo. Lovely spot, very few cars, under a large tree. Sundays they have live music and dancing- lots of locals for that!

Best Sangria we ever had.... Wife wants to back just for the tapas and white Sangeria.

Could you maybe name addresses or links or google search terms that would allow us to find this place? :)

You can't miss it if you walk along Paseo de la Princesa. It is on the right, right at the base of the wall, under a huge ficus tree, just before the PR Tourism building (old jail).

Of course, my husband did just remind me that a few of the restaurants have the indoor open air courtyards, so you can eat outdoors but in the middle of the restaurant.

I also enjoy that tapas place at El Convento.
