The seasonal selection of the ingredients was fantastic. What a way to showcase local cuisine in such an elevated fashion. Christian, our server, had an incredible attention to detail and took our experience to the next level. They even catered to one of our friend’s gluten-free needs in a way that did not detract from her experience at all. Chef Josiah’s ability to combine local flavors as well as plate at a Michelin Star level was brilliant. Chef stopped in at the end of the meal and spoke with us about the preparation of the food, the attention to detail we saw from him exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed every bit of this experience and cannot wait to come back once the grounds have expanded even further.
One of my favorite experiences visiting PR last week. An intimate setting that feels like you're having an incredible meal at a good friend's finca. We sat outside and enjoyed the sounds of PR after a long beach day. We decided on the a la carte menu but next time we'll be doing the 5-course tasting menu as we saw others enjoying it and felt it would be a great experience.
The chef came out to introduce himself and we had the pleasure of meeting his wife who is Colombian, as are my partner and I. They were both so kind and genuine. I've been recommending Chef's Garden to everyone I talk to about my PR travels!
A wonderful experience and remarkable cuisine. Highlighting local ingredients and expanding puerto rica cuisine so inventively. Chef and his team were gracious, attentive and took their time to remark upon the menu. Look forward to returning.
If you are lucky enough to come across Chefs Garden in Rincon, you are in for the culinary experience of your life. The attention to detail the staff puts in to the service is truly amazing. The food is simply indescribable - Fine dining meets authentic Puerto Rican ingredients that have been lost in time, only to be brought back in the form of Chef Josiah's beautiful and amazingly flavorful culinary artwork. I could go on forever about the amazing experience my girlfriend and I just had at this restaurant, we both agree it was the best date night/food we've had in Puerto Rico and ive been coming here for 27 years. Amazing people and amazing food. Give them a try you will not regret it.
Chef Garden in Rincón is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience, a celebration of Puerto Rican heritage, and a testament to the artistry of sustainable cuisine. This gem has earned its title as the “Best Sustainable Restaurant in Puerto Rico, Latin America, Spain, and Portugal,” and it’s easy to see why.
From the moment you step onto the property, you’re greeted by a tranquil ambiance that effortlessly blends lush outdoor seating with a stylish indoor dining area. The thoughtful design extends even to practical details, like the convenient parking area that ensures a stress-free arrival. But the true magic lies in what happens on the plate.
Chef Garden’s menu is a constantly evolving work of art. Changing every two weeks, it showcases the finest local ingredients and honors Puerto Rican heritage with a modern twist. Incredibly, the restaurant has not repeated a menu lineup in over two years, a feat that reflects the creativity and vision of its culinary team. Each dish tells a story, offering a harmonious blend of freshness, tradition, and innovation.
The chefs here are nothing short of culinary alchemists, transforming the island’s bounty into creations that dazzle the palate and soul. Their unparalleled knowledge and commitment to sustainability shine through in every detail, from the sourcing of ingredients to the plating of each dish. It’s no wonder that many consider Chef Garden not just one of the best, but the best restaurant in Puerto Rico.
What sets Chef Garden apart isn’t just its exceptional food—it’s the entire experience. The attentive and knowledgeable staff make you feel like a cherished guest, and the atmosphere invites you to savor every moment. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or someone seeking an unforgettable meal, Chef Garden delivers on every level.
If you’re in Rincón—or even if you’re not—Chef Garden is worth the trip. It’s a masterclass in sustainable dining, a love letter to Puerto Rican flavors, and a shining example of what’s possible when passion meets expertise. Don’t just take our word for it; experience it yourself.
