True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing. This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
More than a Spanish restaurant with delicious food, a wide variety of wines and drinks, our little corner is a very cozy and homely meeting point.

I wait you at home! - Luz Iris, chef and owner

Le chef du Santaella a transformé ce qui était son atelier de restauration en un espace salué pour son architecture pour vous y proposer un menu plein de saveurs, faisant appel à une multitude d'ingrédients frais et locaux en provenance d'un marché fermier situé à seulement quelques pas. Ce lieu vous raconte une longue et passionnante histoire dont les tons vert, brun et boisés sont le décor. Un jardin intérieur peuplé de plantes et d'arbres indigènes, comme le papayer et les bananiers ornementaux, sert de point focal à la salle à manger principale.
Présentant une salle à manger d'une capacité de 75 sièges ainsi qu'un bar de 16 places conçu pour la restauration, le Santaella célèbre les racines de la comida criolla, la cuisine créole de l'île, et intègre les techniques, saveurs et fusions du monde entier dans ses plats.
Les murs en pierre, les finitions en bois et les places assises de style salon, avec seulement 8 tables, donnent l'impression de se trouver dans un lieu éloigné et rustique loin de tout. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et romantique, parfaite pour une expérience culinaire inoubliable.
