Where to Eat in San Juan, Where Restaurants Aren’t Just Rebuilding—They’re Thriving | Bon Appétit
"Husband-and-wife team Francis Guzmán and Amelia Dill, who met at Range in San Francisco and worked together at Blue Hill in New York before returning to Guzmán’s native Puerto Rico, openedViandajust a few months after Maria. It already feels indispensable. Here, Guzmán puts playful twists on Puerto Rican staples, turning bacalao into aromatic tom kha, topping tender short rib encebollado with fat onion rings, and tossing local root vegetables in an herby yogurt dressing. Looking at the globe lights and hanging vines, you could be in any trendy farm-to-table restaurant, but when a passing pyrotechnic cocktail perfumes the air with burning rosemary, the magic of Vianda is clear." - ByAliza Abarbanel
