Located on the fourth floor of the Hotel Puerto Valdés, in Puerta de Tierra, it has a view of the San Juan Bay and one of the most complete Argentine wine cellars locally. Its cuisine offers a wide variety of select cuts of meat, poultry and seafood that are roasted using the thousand-year-old concept of Kamado.
But what is Kamado? It is an ancient art of cooking meat that allows its flavors and textures to be unique and of an exquisite flavor for the palate. As our executive chef Paxx Caraballo describes us “cooking meat in Kamado is an art. Carnes Steakhouse offers a relaxed atmosphere for dinner. On its terrace, the visitor will be able to observe the beautiful bay of San Juan, and when there are cruise ships, the view is much more interesting.
To accompany the meats, the pairing is made with a delicious selection of Argentine wines in a cellar that includes an interesting variety.

    Yani took care of my wife and me for our birthdays, and she was wonderful. We got our reservation on Open Table, but there was plenty of seating when we arrived. We went on a Thursday, so we excepted it to be a bit busier, but wasn’t. This place is a hidden gem, so that may be why there wasn’t a big crowd. I don’t expect it to be slow much longer. The ambiance was low lit and smooth, with soft music playing in the background. Great for an intimate date night. Yani greeted us with a complimentary appetizer. She recommended this wine, which was nice. We got the ribeye steak which was to die for. Buttery smooth and juicy. Best I’ve had in a long time. The whipped mashed potatoes, and vegetable were perfect as well. I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Puerto Rico, but take a look at the prices before you come. 9.5/10

    After reading mixed reviews, my husband and I tried Carnes on a Sunday evening. We are so glad we did. The food was out of this world, and the server was very attentive. Would highly recommend!

    The server kept rushing us. Tried to take our plates 4 times. There were only two other people in the restaurant all night. Food and ambiance was great. The menu suggests having an Aperol Spritzer. They did not even have Aperol!

    Only one server for the whole restaurant on a busy night. Server was also the bartender. Long waits to get our order taken and even longer waits to get our drinks and water. The experience did not match the price. Some sides never arrived and those that did were overly salty and un-edible. The meat, however was perfect.
