Vianda San Juan Reviews from The Last Year
Great place for adventure cuisine a fusion of old with new
Great place for adventure cuisine a fusion of old with new in terms of ingredients and flavor.A fabulous bar with great cocktail options. Great place to go with friends or a romantic dinner for two.
My husband found Vianda in a web search praising 2024 James
My husband found Vianda in a web search praising 2024 James Beard semifinalist chef Francis Guzman of Vianda. We made reservations 2 months out (book in advance!!) and were so glad we did. The food is outstanding!! Well-prepared, local and seasonal ingredients in a tapas style format. Plenty of vegetarian options. The ambiance is sophisticated and comfortable with space between tables. Well stocked bar with plenty of options. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. So glad we were able to visit this amazing restaurant! We'll be back!
Great food. Great service!
We had an early dinner with a bottle of wine. Everything we ordered was delicious! The service was friendly and helpful. The server’s recommendation of one of the dishes ended up being our favorite dish!
A Bib Gourmand Experience by Award Winning Chef
Vianda is a phenomenal food experience with a fusion of Mediterranean, Indian and Puerto Rican influences. The dishes are expertly crafted, prepared, and presented and Chef Guzman’s talent is on full display in the intimate restaurant deserving of his James Beard nominations and awards. The cocktails, while simple, are well executed, but the wine list deserves some expansion. The restaurant itself is quant, slightly over lit, the service struggles a bit to keep up with the excellence of the food, with more knowledge of the menu and minor items like waiting before presenting the check, detract from the food experience. Chef Guzman, familiar with the Michelin guide would certainly earn a Bib Gourmand if the guide served the San Juan area, and with a few tweaks to service, easily earn a star.
Wow what an experience.
I went to San Juan over the weekend and was looking for a nice place to celebrate my birthday. I have to say this restaurant is top tier. They have both small and large plate options with a variety of vegetarian and seafood options. My friends and I chose bar seating which was nice cause are waiter was able to answer any questions we had. I tried the Batatas Brava con pulpo. It's a sweet potato dish with aioli sauce sautéed octopus and tomato puree. The food was amazing. The grilled octopus was nice and tender and the sweet potato mixed with sauces really brought a creamy flavor. I would definitely recommend but reservations are needed to get a good seat.
Fabulous dinner in San Juan
Fabulous food, better service! Highly recommend Ivan’s mojito was really solid. Two small plates and one appetizer was plenty for dinner
Tried this restaurant and it fulfilled all the hype - it
Tried this restaurant and it fulfilled all the hype - it was very, very good! The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious.
Kudos to the chef - this place was incredible! The flavors
Kudos to the chef - this place was incredible! The flavors of each dish were absolutely magnificent. The cos was cooked to perfection and everything tasted so fresh and all ingredients were handled with the utmost respect and care. So happy my husband and I checked this place out. Great vibes and plant decor inside, and the drinks we delicious too. Highly recommend!!
Highly Recommended
The attention to details since we arrived was great, we were celebrating our anniversary and they served a complementary glass of sparkling wine. Since the beginning of the dinner they were very happy to served. We shared a few appetizers and then the main course also fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended restaurant and probably one of the top.
3.5 stars?
Very okay. Servers super friendly and caring. But felt pretty underwhelmed given what we paid. Sat and ordered drinks, then while we waited we next ordered food. First appetizer arrived before we all had drinks (25 minutes after ordering them). Got served lots of water etc, but still. Appetizers were fine, but not special. Entrees were all excellent, to be fair. But small. No sides on the menu, and no sides with the entrees. (For example, I had branzino. One filet, covered in sauce. No vegetables or carb, and none on menu). So my entree was like 8 bites and then done. Desserts were crazy good — pastry chef is a star, both flavor and presentation (eg pumpkin mousse in shape of a pumpkin). Then a lot of silly charges on the bill — $1.50 pp “water charge”, extra $1.50 for “skinny” margarita (yes, extra to remove an ingredient!), and 20% built in service charge that I was lucky to catch as I was about to add tip. Place is out of the way. Skip.
Wow really think some of the reviews here are over the top,
Wow really think some of the reviews here are over the top, and highly misleading. 3.5 stars, at best? The food IS good, overall, and has some interesting takes. Appetizers were pretty mundane, but nicely shareable. Entrees themselves are pretty imaginative. But they're also small with no sides. For example, I had a filet of fish (forget what). Had a nice tasty sauce. But that was the only thing on the plate. No sides (and none available as extras). I do appreciate a lot of effort went in (for example, presentation) and the desserts are a pretty special highlight. Service is very friendly, although not what you get at restaurants that highlight their chefs; eg lacking any real guidance/excitement on food (or for sure, wine -- and list is wonderfully creative but with many unfamiliar producers and grapes). In no way as special as other reviews on this site describe. Drinks took twenty-five minutes (in fact didn't come out until appetizers were arriving -- that drives me nuts). Watch for silly extra charges: $1.50 pp water service fee, $1.50 extra for "skinny margarita" (yes, to subtract ingredients), 20% service charge built-in (not standard in SJ).
Hands down, Vianda is the culinary arts dining experience
Hands down, Vianda is the culinary arts dining experience of San Juan. I was blown away from the moment I sat down until I closed my check. Although a bit rushed as they had to fulfill drink orders from all the diners, Ivan and his colleague provided one of the best service I received at a bar. Ivan even made a point to tell me how his colleague was the genius that created my cocktail, la peña. As my photo of the cocktail shows, Ivan's colleague froze couple jalapeño pieces into square ice cubes as well as the chili bitters, and he explained how the taste of each ingredient comes into your pallet as you slowly sip the cocktail. Effing brilliant to be honest to add his twist to a traditional old fashioned. For my app, I ordered their croquetas de morcilla. The photo does not do justice of how flavorful it is. Also really liked their complimentary sweet potato bread served with butter. But it was my main entree, pesca del dia (fish of the day) that really blew me away. Pieces of crabmeat, that is not written in the entree description, adds another layer of taste to the overall, delicate flavoring their executive chef incorporates into this fish entree. How scrumptious! As if I was not already blown away, their otoño dessert sealed the deal for me. I mean, look at the photo - that is a pastry competition award worthy! Ivan's colleague recommended a white dessert wine that just went perfectly with this dessert (photo not provided) and what a way to finish such a memorable meal. If you plan to visit San Juan or will return for a repeat visit, do yourself a favor and book a reservation at Vianda. You will not regret it!
A must in SJ
Truly a must. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Great ambiance great drinks and super friendly staff. The food was amazing!

10/10 all around for
10/10 all around for the TASTE Consistency Creativity Perfect Service Easily a must-visit for fans of fine dining and excellent, elevated Puerto Rican food. Doesn't hurt that the drinks and service are also top notch.
Excellent and attentive service.
Great appetizers and entrees. Try the cazuela de bacalao! The deserts are also a must.
This place was very modern and simplistic.
At first it gave me a little flashback of Mario Pagan and I was scared as I did not like the experience and emptiness of the ambiance of Mario pagan. Vianda was much better. Service was great but felt a little rush even though we had 2 hours before all reservations were taken we felt a little pushed. The food was amazing I love it, todo muy delicioso. We had the morcillas, tuna tataki tacos and ceviche to start of. We also had delicious main dosh
Amazing spot!!! The flavors were great in each dish - I've
Amazing spot!!! The flavors were great in each dish - I've never had batatas bravas with a sweet potato before, and really enjoyed the contrast of flavors between the sweet with the salty from the egg aioli and the perfectly cooked octopus! The tortellini was also nice.. But the star of this meal was the pumpkin dessert! I almost didn't get it since I'm extremely wary after so many overdone pumpkin spice dishes, and I'm SO glad I did! This dessert is not-to-be missed, and undersold in the menu description. It's a pumpkin enterment with a very thin white chocolate shell, perfectly balanced pumpkin mousse, with a small bit of pumpkin purée in the center and a mint cake base. The trick is to get all of it with the crumble on the outside for the perfect combination of flavors and textures. The service was also phenomenal - great recommendations and fun to talk to at the bar. Will definitely return next time I'm in PR - can't wait to see the next menu!
Vianda was recognized in the 2022 James Beard Semifinalst
Vianda was recognized in the 2022 James Beard Semifinalst Awards! This is a top notch restaurant and everything here excels. As soon as we sat down we were greeted by our server, who was super helpful and provided great recs from the menu. Our meal started with one of the best breads I've ever had at a restaurant. They look like simple rolls, but don't be fooled - they're flaky, buttery, and soft. Everything we ordered was fantastic, but my personal favorites were the Batatas Bravas, Bacalao, and Otoño. The octopus in the Batatas Bravas was the most tender octopus I've ever had - I almost didn't believe it was octopus because of how tender it was! The Bacalao has amazing flavor - the coconut broth is soooo good. To top off an amazing meal, el Otoño was a super unique dessert. The presentation was so cute! Highly, highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice place to eat. NOTE: Parking can a pain - you can either pay $10 in a lot right next to the restaurant or you can try and find street parking. We tried to find street parking, but it wasn't as feasible as we thought.
Dinner at Vianda
I am so thrilled that my husband went on Yelp and found this restaurant! I’d put this up against any fine restaurant in NYC. The dishes are extremely creative, beautifully presented & absolutely delicious as well. Vianda is definitely a 5 star hidden gem. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Won't return ....
I have never been to San Juan before, so I researched plenty of restaurants. Couldn't get a reservation at my first choice Marmalade, so settled for Vianda as the reviews seemed impressive. Maybe it's "one of the best places in San Juan" per other reviewers if you live here, but for visitors, Vianda was hardly impressive to me. The food was fine and all dishes were well prepared. The servers we encountered were very kind and efficient (except for one that ruined our experience --the older female of the group that has an American accent). Sadly, the decor is very stark and uncomfortable with hard chairs and tables. There is plenty of space for more tables, and the ones they have are very spaced out. It feels like they inserted a restaurant into the bottom floor of an office building (which is quite possible noting the unimpressive location). I was disappointed the moment we walked in. Reservation timeslots were limited, yet the restaurant was quite empty the whole evening. Had a much better experience at all the other restaurants on our trip.
One time visit only.
The food is very good. Very small portions. Overpriced. Menu is very limited. Vianda only in the name. No viandas in the menu. For turists.
