San Juan: A Fusion of Taste and Art

📍Verde Mesa ☀️Upon entering, we were immediately captivated by the exquisite tableware—each plate featured unique hand-painted patterns. When the server noticed our interest, he kindly shared the stories behind these ceramic pieces. 🌈The menu is equally creative, skillfully blending Caribbean flavors with French cooking techniques. The tuna appetizer we ordered, served with passion fruit foam, was both refreshing and palate-whetting. 🧀At Verde Mesa, the scallops in the main course were cooked to perfection—slightly seared on the outside yet tender and sweet inside. My friend’s red wine-braised pork cheek, slow-cooked for six hours, melted at the touch of a fork. 🍩The most delightful surprise was the coconut dessert: a white chocolate shell that cracked open to release warm coconut cream, perfectly complemented by caramelized guava. 🍚 Be sure to make a reservation in advance, as the restaurant only has eight tables. We were lucky to get a spot due to a last-minute cancellation. #SanJuan #CreativeCuisine #CaribbeanFlavors
