Santaella, the much-anticipated restaurant from renowned chef José Santaella, debuted June 2011 steps from Santurce’s Farmer’s Market ‘La Placita’ in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Chef Santaella transforms what used to be his catering workshop and a former hardware store into an architectural acclaimed space committed to offer a menu full of flavor using many local ingredients sourced fresh daily from ‘La Placita’. The view of a tropical interior garden serves as the focal point of the main dining area and an abstract artistic wallpaper does the same at the bar area inspired by tropical plants.
Offering a 80-seat dining room and a a 16-seat bar, Santaella celebrates the roots of the island's comida criolla, and incorporates techniques, flavors and fusions from around the world into its food. Santaella will elevate and redefine your Puerto Rican dining experience.
