Quick ? re: San Juan Restaurant

[Set2Sail]

Sorry about this, but someone mentioned a great restaurant in San Juan where they went after the recent disasterous Whisper cruise. I CAN"T FIND IT! Can anyone help me?? I would love to have a great meal there next week, as we arrive the night before we sail.

 

THANKS!

Hi, I think it was the Barrachina. I'll see if I can find the address for you.

Set2Sail,

We had a wonderful lunch last Saturday at Barracino Restaurant on La Forteleza in Old San Juan. It's not fancy - but a nice, casual cafe with both indoor and outdoor dining. The open courtyard has a festive feel and the servers were terrific. Don't miss the house specialty - The "Original Pina Colada."

 

The food includes typical American fare of salads, burgers and grilled food, along with a selection of local Puerto Rican and Cuban favorites. You can enjoy a nice stroll through the old city or head over to El Morro to enjoy the views.

 

Finally, they will store your luggage all day (suggested gratuity $5) and will make you feel like they want you to return on a future trip.

 

Enjoy!

if you want a really excellent meal (yes it's expensive) then try the new restaurant Marmalade. It opened in January. I'm from NY and have eaten in some of the best, and I can say it was one of the finest meals I've ever had.

Thank you so much! We may be able to squeeze a dinner and a lunch into our visit, so we could hit both restaurants.

Again, thanks!

We enjoyed Barrachina very much last week as well. Very fresh food, lots of locals and in the middle of everything in Old SJ

I'm glad you enjoyed the Barracino restaurant. If you return to San Juan and would like a great dinner, try Pikayo at the art museum. The food and service are amazing!
