At Pio Pio in Old San Juan, experience an intimate chef's counter setting with inventive small plates and thoughtfully paired wines that promise to impress.
"Old San Juan’s Plaza de Armas bustles during the day as locals, visitors, and office workers descend on the area’s coffee kiosks. Wine bar Pío Pío offers a casual lunch, but it’s even better at night, when the area tends to quiet down. Here, far from the dives of Cristo and San Sebastían streets, the bar serves a big menu of sparkling wine, paired with seasonal small plates like oysters Rockefeller, beef tartare, and a salad of chrysanthemum greens, silken tofu dressing, hazelnuts, and chayote. There’s even a Negroni piragua, a decidedly adult take on the local street cart treat of shaved ice and flavored syrup." - Paulina Salach Antonetti, Alicia Kennedy
"A champagne and snack bar serving luxurious bubbly and caviar laden bites, Pio Pio’s eclectic menu and interiors are equally Instagram-worthy. If sparkling isn’t your style, there’s a wine list a mile long with knowledgable staff to help you navigate."
