Like so many other cities, San Juan is in the midst of a food hall revival, whether in the more traditional model (El Mercado de Paseo Caribe) or a more low-key outdoor version (Lote 23). San Juan is also crushing on global food capitals like Lima (Mercado de Lima) and Rome (Bocca Osteria Romana). There’s also a gorgeous new brunch destination (Sabrina Brunch & Bistro Bar) and a boundary-pushing new cocktail bar (La Coctelera).
