Top 10 Best Restaurants in San Juan Puerto Rico- Best Views, Vegan Food, Rooftops, Acai, and more!

Today we’ve got another really fun video as we take you along our journey of eating at our favorite restaurants in (and close to) San Juan. If you’re visiting the capital of Puerto Rico, we highly recommend also exploring as you often get better value, portions, and quality a bit outside the Condado/Isla Verde area. All of these have great vibes, so I hope this video can help you if you’re visiting the beautiful island of Puerto Rico!
Best Views- The New Reef, a restaurant and bar in Piñones an area with lots of local restaurants and music and dancing (bomba lessons Saturday nights), we love it because it is right on the water so you can see all of Isla Verde & San Juan’s waterfront
Best Food- El Nuevo Acuario, another restaurant in Piñones and this was by far our favorite food on the island, the appearance may seem deceiving but the seafood is so fresh and well seasoned, we recommend just driving through Piñones, which is only 10-20 min from Isla Verde/Condado and no matter where you stop you won’t be disappointed
Best Vegan Food- El Punto Vegano, so this restaurant is actually in Cataño which you’ll see we highly recommend branching out from the Condado/Isla Verde touristy areas to find the best food and prices; this restaurant has so many delicious options, including different pizzas made with yuca dough and the best loaded fries I’ve ever had; plus the dessert was amazing, couldn’t believe it was all vegan
Vegan Ice Cream- this little ice cream shop has lots of fun sundaes and the venue has a super cool vibe; there’s a bookshop, tattoo shop, and more inside!
Best Acai- this was a tough one and I love my acai so I decided to include all three and tell you a little about what makes each unique
Superfoods- located in Isla Verde, Superfoods is my favorite acai spot because they have lots of mix ins and add ons but also serve sandwiches and wraps too plus everything tastes super fresh, they also have little games you can play
Acai Express- this is our favorite chain acai store that comes with lots of different bases (coconut included) same vibe as Playa Bowls; they’re located all over the island, some even drive throughs
Crush- if you’re in Condado this is a great option in walking distance; I love that they have different smoothies that they can turn into HUGE bowls
Best Brunch- people RAVE about breakfast here, so make sure to arrive early as there's always a wait; our experience personally wasn’t the best but I think if there had been better service and we had gotten our french toast it would have been our favorite
Best Rooftop- my favorite rooftop in San Juan was Eter, located in Miramar, the restaurant and bar overlooks the whole city, it is pricey but definitely worth coming here for drinks
Best Oceanfront- Wicked Lily located in Condado for convenience; the views are stunning but the food is only alright, but I would definitely recommend this for drinks or their drag brunch on Sundays
Best Quick/Convenient- Tresbe, located on Calle Loiza, a street with lots of restaurants and bars, this little outside shop was the perfect option for our last night when we missed our flight, they’ve got lots of little bites like the fish tacos we got and a whole sushi menu (with a sushi burrito option)
Best Mountain View- D’Leite in Naranjito will take your breath away as you look down on the San Juan Metro area, it’s about a 45 min drive but well worth it to get out of the city and enjoy some great seafood, mofongo and views
Best Quick Beach Bites- El Clandestino, the vibe at El Clandestino is amazing as you’re right on the water and you have lots of small bites for a reasonable price; the restaurant is about an hour from San Juan but it’s a beautiful drive along the beach and has some super beautiful, much more private beaches like Playa Caracoles
Best Airport Food- Landshark, since we missed our flight and had to stay another day, we needed food at the airport and Landshark did not disappoint, we wanted something more filling than one of the little sandwiches at the stands and my fish tacos and Anthony’s burger were tasty and filled us up for our flight home at a very reasonable cost for airport food
Honorary Mentions:
Container Bay and Casilda- these two restaurants are in the same area as El Punto Vegano but they’re right on the water and both have rooftop bars; Cataño almost always has live music or some sort of event going on
Kumo- Anthony’s favorite rooftop was Kumo, located right on the beach in Isla Verde; it’s pricey and the portions were overall small but also worth a visit for the breathtaking views on the ocean
Casa de Campo Vista Verde- located in Gurabo about an hour from San Juan, this restaurant has beautiful mountain views and delicious eats
Cafè Licor- you’ve got to explore the mountains a bit and Orocovis is the perfect town to do just that, this cute cafe had tasty food and great coffee and awesome views, perfect stop before a day of chasing waterfalls and hikes
