robgbrooklyn Posted February 6, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnbruce Posted February 7, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2010 We had a very good meal here last week. Also a very good Pina Colada. They have both indoor seating and a outdoor courtyard. http://www.barrachina.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted February 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlushPell Posted February 9, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wave breaker Posted February 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2010 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.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name Of The Game Posted February 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2010 We also enjoyed Barrachina's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terisu10 Posted February 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkycat Posted February 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Dragonfly and Dragonfly Too have outside seating (as well as inside) and the food was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted February 14, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you maybe name addresses or links or google search terms that would allow us to find this place? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
