Restaurants
Casilda Cocina Creativa is a restaurant in Cataño with a view of the Bahía de San Juan. The food is excellent, with the culinary team fusing different flavors with local Puerto Rican cooking. Through an entrance beside the restaurant that has a speakeasy feel, you can reach the rooftop. The menu up there is different from the main restaurant's, better suited to a bar setting, but you can order any cocktail upstairs or down.

Bars for late-night parties
Another option in Old San Juan is La Factoría, also located on the historic Calle de San Sebastián. It has been recognized on several occasions as the best bar in the Caribbean and one of the top 50 bars in all of North America.

You can also pair these dishes with a varied menu of specialty cocktails.
Menus to break the routine
One of the great draws that makes Chocobar Cortés a perfect place to celebrate is that ~everything~ on the menu features chocolate as the star ingredient.
We had the chance to visit their location in Old San Juan on the occasion of this spot's first decade, and tried, for example, the Don Ignacio, one of Chocobar Cortés's exclusive cocktails, made with ron barrilito 3 estrellas, cognac and spiced syrup, among other ingredients, with a bitter chocolate rim.
#PlateaTip: We also recommend the Chocolate Grilled Cheese, Caribbean Ceviche and the French toast. All of these dishes include chocolate! 🍫
