El Blok Bar and Restaurant
Located on the second floor of El Blok hotel, this eponymous restaurant serves refined Puerto Rican cuisine. Helmed by San Juan native Jose Enrique (named Food & Wine’s Best New Chef in 2013), El Blok serves rustic fare that emphasizes grilled dishes and locally sourced vegetables. The open terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sun set.
Hotel el Convento
The landmark building housing Hotel El Convento has only seen two renovations in the 356 years since it was built as the first Carmelite convent in America. Entering the glamorous, old-world lobby feels like taking a step back in time; wall tapestries tell the stories of Spanish conquistadors responsible for the building’s existence and a grand piano sets a timeless tone. While the hotel rooms feel outdated and claustrophobic, sipping cocktails at the bar or enjoying a fresh, simple meal in the cluster of wrought-iron furniture at Patio del Nispero, one of three in-house eateries, is divine.
