Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Hato Rey Norte

The Best Dining Experience in Puerto Rico! Last night, I had an unforgettable meal at what I now consider the best restaurant in Puerto Rico. The food was exceptional—every dish was crafted with precision, high-quality ingredients, and incredible flavor. The service was flawless. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcomed. Their recommendations were perfect, and every detail was handled with care. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, making the experience even more special. This restaurant has set the bar high, and I can’t wait to return!

Our meal was fantastic. We had the salmon w chickpeas and the lobster soup. Both were delicious. Our waiter was also very accommodating. My mom had a sore throat, so he brought her some chamomile tea with sliced lemons and a little jar of honey, and some cream. He was very attentive throughout the whole meal. Food came on time. It was hot. It was divine. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Could not have had a better meal here at the Fairmont.

We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit and experience the bar. The service and attentiveness of Israel and Hector was top notch. Their craft cocktails were truly works of art and were AMAZING! Nothing like I have ever had anywhere before. The small plates of fish and chips (aka yucca fries) were phenomenal along with the octopus which was so tender, not to mention the star of the show, the seabass. No evening would be complete without a little sweet and the goat cheese flan was legendary. One of our favorite places to go when in San Juan. If you are looking for upscale Puerto Rican dishes or just an upscale dining experience- look no further.

Words cannot adequately describe just how wonderful our experience was. Everything was top notch from start to finish. They even thoughtfully warmed the milk for my coffee without me asking. This is a must visit when in Puerto Rico.

Food was outstanding! Had the escargot and Camerones with trifongo. Dessert was cocodo hot coconut with almonds and ice cream. Everything was first class. Sat at the bar and watching the very professional bartenders mix drinks added to the evening’s enjoyment. Right in the Placido de Santurce so can enjoy a stroll through the lively area after dinner.
