Old San Juan​の地元の良店

This was our second time coming here. The first time we came to Marmalade was in or around February of 2022. It was our first experience in a fine dining restaurant. We were not disappointed. Since then, we have been only to one other fine-dining restaurant besides Marmalade, but it just doesn’t compare to this one. Marmalade is more intimate, the food here is exceptional, and when we went last night we personally enjoyed it more this second time around. The tiny bean soup, the lamb, the popcorn shrimp, the organic beef tartar with the truffles (we had truffles!) was all absolutely delicious. The desserts are so creative and unlike anything I’ve ever had in my life before. A lot of complexity, beautiful presentations, savory…absolutely the best! I have a hard time believing I would be able to find a better fine dining experience with good value as Marmalade!

So far, this is the best meal I’ve had during my vacation in Puerto Rico. Great service, nice ambiance.

It is evident why Cocina al Fondo and its chef received the James Beard Best Chef (South) award in 2023. This was a jewel of a restaurant built inside a renovated house with the kitchen in an adjacent shed, an indoor dining room with an accompanying garden for outdoor seating, and a knowledgeable and attentive staff. The food - Puerto Rican soul food taken up a notch with soothing and occasionally surprising flavors, well executed and balanced. Only open Thursdays through Saturdays. Well worth a visit.

A great meal & the view from the rooftop can’t be beat. The food is not cheap but it is worth it.

Excellent, a real surprise, we loved everything about it. Food exceeded our expectations, service and ambiance was great. Would highly recommend it. Got to be one of the best restaurants in San Juan.
