Cinderellie Posted February 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We love to eat where the locals do. So where do the locals go in Old San Juan for a lovely dinner? Not mega expensive. Just nice, fun, delicious. Ambiance, local color and perhaps a great view would be a plus. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted February 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2015 There are so many restaurants in Old San Juan that it's hard to name just one. Jibarito is very popular.http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-guide/old-san-juan/restaurants Punta de Vista, too. I think they moved to a rooftop location. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g147320-d1852634-Reviews-Punto_de_Vista_Restaurant_Bar-San_Juan_Puerto_Rico.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny AZ Girl Posted February 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2015 We enjoyed the Parrot Club last May.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.MagicHat Posted February 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2015 ^^Yes! Parrot Club was great for dinner, and El Jibarito was good for an authentic breakfast, although it was packed & the service was really slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORT ROYAL Posted February 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What is subbing? Think this person has an idea of fine dining, and may be declaring an OSJ preference to a SUBWAY Restaurant on the opposite side of the road to CVS on the waterfront.

Cinderellie Posted March 18, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the advice, everyone. We decided to go to Barrachina for paella, an original Pina colada and their flamenco dancing show. We wanted something less formal than Marmalade.

jtwitch Posted March 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We enjoyed Raices - not far from the OSJ Marriott. It seemed to have a number of locals eating there. We ate around 5pm... and the lines were already long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what a nice dinner for two with drinks or wine would be at marmalade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a meal with a view. Do you think I should make reservations? I'm kind of up in the air about the time but would nail it down if I felt I needed to.
