A must! Great French food ! I recommend the lunch menu (quiche , Priscilia salad ) and the nutella-grand marnier-banana-walnut crèpe ! For drinks menu try ginger lemonade or caiprinhia! PS: I'm French.

Cem Oz

Sandwiches - with avocado and beef .. Also there is a very unique sandwich with chicken and peanuts - definitely worths a try. The owner is a french guy who was very positive as well . Service is slow

Gabriella Runnels

The blueberry margharita (a daily special ), the Karlox sandwich , the Sicilian sandwich , and the amaretto rum cake were all amazing.

John A

Great sandwiches ! Recommend: Tango with chickpeas and Vera with greens. Also get a ginger lemonade , refreshing natural ingredients is terrific to cool off from the sun.

Gargi Tamane

Great ambience and have ginger lemonade ! An San Juan traditional house converted to a restaurant . Love the cosy vibe! A must try is Arabian.

Cristina Martinez

The Karlox sandwich is one of my favorites along with the basil lemonade . Breakfasts are also yummy. Love this place!

Stephanie DeDecker

I had the Neopaltian Salad and homemade hummus - must try both!!

David Joy

Our first time. VERY long wait , so started unhappy, but finished VERY happy. 2 adults, 2 kids. Had the cheese pizza , quiche , and the James and Mediterraneo sandwiches . All were incredible.

Dianne Hillhouse

Healthy food options when you need a break from the delicious but heavy traditional Caribbean fare. Nice salads and sandwiches . Great basil mojito !

Asher Kinyon

Karlox steak sandwich is probably top 5 sandwiches I've ever had. House mojito is terrific too

Sarah Mueller

such a good a spot to stop + chill for lunch . great & healthy food options and sick cocktails as well — overall love

Katie Markgraf

Karlox sandwich - skirt steak , brie , ciabbotta, lettuce, and tomatoes . Ginger lemonade as well !

Erika Beatty

Sunday brunch , then back in the evening for crepes . Thoughtful menu with fresh ingredients , lightly and lovingly prepared. Attentive service and friendly fellow diners. Loved it!

Cristina

The BLT sandwich totally recommended! The bartender was A-mazing!!!! She made us perfect drinks and her atritude was awsome!!!

Cecilia

Mango mint mojito is literally the best mojito I've eve had in my life. Inara pizza with skirt steak was a nice accompaniment.

Alexei Masterov

The menu has changed, so don’t rely on tips here. The new menu is here: <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kHwvVSqrZehk1FanIAefmP_YKeEjRWBy/view?usp=drivesdk"target="_blank" data-sig="+TZTv2AxDw+rEjlF6QiaiSlNPyE=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kHwvVSqrZehk1FanIAefmP_YKeEjRWBy/view?usp=drivesdk</a>

The basil lemonade is perfect. Tart , flavourful and just a bit sweet. Salads are excellent and a welcome change from heavy food!

Pepe Villegas

An Old San Juan jewel with the Puerto Rican friendliness and a bohemian twist! Extraordinary food selection.

Jolene Balsimo

Everything was amazing. The asparagus soup ! Wow! The Ceviche ! The pizza and the sandwiches . Amazing.

As the current Foursquare mayor of St. Germain I can say that I'm ashamed of the bad service I received today. Please guys treat LOCALS better, those are the ones that advertise you every day.

Xavier Solé Acha

Outstanding sandwiches with local and fresh ingredients . Deserts are great. Good cocktails as well .

Stephen Sottile

Great place for lunch/brunch. Very good food and drinks. Nice location on Sol and Cruz in Viejo San Juan.

Lady Nade

Lovely! Fantastic food and drinks, good service . Good for vegetarians !

Julia Mesmeri

Hearty salads and delicious lemonade a freshly made in the kitchen. Perfect pit stop.

Koky Lopez

MY FAVORITE? THE PRISCILA" SALAD . SMOKED SALMON , FRESH MANDARIN ORANGES AND WALNUTS WTH CREAMY POPPYSEED DRESSING... YUM!

Nicky Yates

Really adorable place! As the others say, you can't go wrong. We had the mediterrean and the Priscilla.

Jeremy Le Van

Great cafe in Old San Juan. They serve great breakfast and lunch .

Pepe Villegas

Ginger Lemonade to die for and the awesome Piqué Artesanal Santa Clara made in PR!!!

Gracie Giordano

awesome healthy food and great drinks, plus the service was really good.

Maria Relea

The mushroom soup and quiche are a must! Basil mojito of course

Eimy Figueroa

If you're a local, RUN! They only treat tourists with a great attitude. Everyone else (Puerto Ricans) get served last and with backhanded comments.

Jim Head

Cauliflower soup , mahi mahi wrap , and veggie burger . Salads are great.

Giovanni Oliver

Great gourmet food, eat that leaning tower, best appetizer EVER. Great service too!

Shannon Z

Skip the guacamole , get the brie/apple/avocado sandwich with the greens & must get the rum cake !

Mehul Sheth

Great friendly place in the old city . Amazing coffee and carrot cake .

Janette Dura

Sunday brunch was a sh!tshow. Forget about picking up a quick lunch on Sundays. They offer neither quick nor lunch - just breakfast .

Joanna Flamm

Very busy for weekend lunch , but still a nice place to relax on a day of sightseeing.

Paul Santora

Amazing crepes . Not just the sweet ones either. Must try.

Lisa Yi

Ginger lemonade is delish! Not too sweet and not too spicy ... just right!

miles lennon

High ceilings , nice atmosphere. The food is only ok but it doesn't matter much. Just drink!

Michael Lawrence

Try the Karlox with avocado and/or the Mediteraneo! You won't be disappointed!

may c

Yes. Eat here. The basil mojito is outstanding on a warm day. The owner will guide you through the menu.

Steve Reynolds

Spectacular sandwiches , awesome salads . Very friendly service .

Linds

perfect end to the evening, share the after dinner formule with a friend (dessert to share, plus two after-dinner drinks and two coffees )

Mujtaba

Try the Creole Sandwich and the Basil Mojito . They are awesome!

Alexei Masterov

The 9.1 must’ve been from the previous owner/chef. While the food was ok, it wasn’t gr8.The “natural” juice was from a can, and the “garlic” fries had no trace of garlic and were worse than in McD’s

Jasmine White

Have the Tahiti crepe and a glass of watermelon sangria ! Delicious!

Rene Laureano

Comment from a Local. Came in for The First time for Bday Brunch . Order The Egg Benedicts & 3 egg omelet . Took them 1hr & 20 minutes to serve WAO Really for eggs . Never coming Back here.

Josh Coll

Arabian is next level, get it. Also Nina is the nicest, most adorable waitress in San Juan. Tip her accordingly.

Genco Orkun Genc

Tango sandwich and ginger lemonade are clear winners. Avoid the quiche though.
