This is just one more excuse for you to visit the “Island of Enchantment”, this fabulous Caribbean destination, which is also distinguished by its exquisite food. Today we will go on a delicious journey through some restaurants in Puerto Rico.
BAD BUNNY’S FAVORITE RESTAURANTS
1. YOKO
In Loíza Street, in the incredible and lively Santurce neighborhood in San Juan, Yoko is a temple of contemporary Japanese cuisine, which takes advantage of the fresh seafood of the Caribbean to offer an incredible experience. These beaches in the Caribbean will make you fall in love!
Bad Bunny likes their famous “Nigiri experience” and their creative cocktails. A gastronomy that has not gone unnoticed by the idol.
The Santurce neighborhood is vibrant, full of urban art, emerging galleries, and nightlife. Walk through Cerra Street to look at the street art and try other traditional Puerto Rican restaurants like Lote 23.
At night, enjoy cocktails at La Factoría or music at locals like La Respuesta. With some luck, you’ll find Bad Bunny enjoying a night with his friends.
2. MANZANA DE JAVA
Also in San Juan, in the Playa del Pueblo zone, this restaurant stole Bad Bunny’s heart with its fusion of Antillean-Asian food, where products from the Caribbean are combined with techniques and flavors of Southeast Asia.
Manzana de Java is near the beach, so it’s ideal for a walk after eating. After that, you can explore the Old San Juan with its colonial architecture, museums, and its charming cafés like Café Reginald or Cocina Al Fondo.
In this zone, you’ll find some of the best restaurants in Puerto Rico, but this is one of the artist’s favorites.
3. LALA
This is a luxury restaurant that is also part of Bad Bunny’s property. It is located in the Mall of San Juan, a very exclusive shopping mall. Lala has an eclectic menu for groups: from gyozas to hamachi or sweet corn agnolotti.
This place is ideal for sophisticated palates and the artist is frequently there sharing a table with guests.
The Mall of San Juan also offers high-level shopping, coffee shops, and easy access from areas like Condado, which makes it an ideal stop to combine gastronomy and shopping.
