The Healthy Hangout

Where to Eat in San Juan, Where Restaurants Aren’t Just Rebuilding—They’re Thriving | Bon Appétit

"Tucked behind the eclecticPúblicacommunity art space,Cocina al Fondotrades in the unexpected. Chef Natalia Vallejo creates quietly healthy food with a fittingly artistic eye, like silky bowls of sweet-corn panna cotta and terrines made with candy-striped beets and goat cheese. Thoughtful design touches, like plush oversize cushions perched on ample teak benches, inspire hang-outs fueled by crispy fried malanga buñuelos and a glass (maybe two) of cava. Whether you’re swinging by for Saturday brunch or seeking a nightcap, you’ll feel the urge to linger a little longer. This is the kind of place where we yearn to be a regular." - ByAliza Abarbanel
