About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Romantic
Great for creative cocktails

We invite you to embark on an immersive dining experience that bridges the rich cultural legacies of Andalucía, Spain, and Puerto Rico. Nestled at the gateway of Old San Juan, within the Alma San Juan hotel, Andaluz celebrates the deep historical ties between these two regions.

Our menu is a tribute to shared history with Moorish influence, blending the bold, sun-drenched flavors of Andalusian cuisine with the vibrant ingredients of Puerto Rico, locally and sustainably sourced. From the prized azafrán of Spain to the comforting sofrito of Puerto Rico, each dish tells the story of a culinary journey rooted in centuries of cultural exchange.

Surrounded by original Puerto Rican artwork and evocative images of Old San Juan and Spanish landscapes, every visit to Andaluz is a celebration of flavors, history, and culture, where the past and present converge seamlessly.

Un lugar hermoso, buen servio. Los tragos no eran los mejores, el pulpo estaba delicioso y los scallops. Sin embargo el NY strip con el puré de zanahoria no me impresionó. El postre muy bueno.

Our Andaluz experience was stunning from the moment we walked in. The ambiance is low key and calm. Our server was extremely observant and attentive as well as friendly. I had one of the best cocktails of my life (Sevilla y Tonica)! The menu is exceptional for fine dining - my spouse had the mushroom dish and could not stop talking about it, while I had the scallops. The presentation and flavors are outstanding - be sure to stop and eat with your eyes first, as this food is art! Dessert was the perfect ending to a beautiful evening. We had the opportunity to meet the executive chef, Chef José, which was a first for us! Wonderful experience and we think Andaluz is a must if you are in Old San Juan!

Beautiful restaurant, great service, but food was just ok. I think that for the price I was expecting a wow factor and food with bold flavors and it was lacking of that

We came for the ambience with music unfortunately they let go the musician that made the ambience magical. Drinks are ok, we find them expensive for the total experience. The best experience are the fantastic bartenders they have. The food is ok but for a Spanish restaurant they should have more tapas.
