We are an unique chef-driven event hall featuring local and worldwide cuisine, chef's table and specialty themed dinners set in an immersive residential open kitchen.
The Chef's Table (7pm) is a gastronomic proposal defined as a culinary journey through the kitchens that have moved the chef during his stays in South America, Europe and Asia; a daring blend of flavors that is seasoned with a touch of the Caribbean.
Payment is due at the restaurant, however for groups of 6 or more a 50% non refundable deposit is required. To secure your reservation a credit card is needed. We will contact you to confirm your reservation.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours or no shows will be charged a full price cancellation fee per guest.
Due to the small nature of our kitchen, we are unable to cater for many dietary requirements, advance notice is essential. For more information on private events and cooking classes visit us at: www.epicuroculinarycenter.com

    Words can't fully describe how amazing this experience was. Chef Antonio takes you on a delectable experience though Puerto Rican, Asian, South American, and European cuisines in a five course tasting menu, with thoughtful and interesting wine pairings, that are cooked, plated, and explained right in front of you. One of the absolute best dining experiences I've ever had!! This is a must do experience for anyone that loves to eat amazing food!!!

    What an excellent experience! Anthony(the Chef) and Sara(his wife and hostess) treat you like royalty. The food is excellent!! Anthony does a great job in explaining each course as he prepares them for you. The serving sizes are prefect(he knows the size of your stomach) as not to leave you stuffed and uncomfortable at the end of the night. It’s prefect for a date, special occasion, business meal or just getting some friends together. You won’t be disappointed!! A must try!!

    Epicuro was one of the finest dining experiences I've ever had. Chef Antonio and Sous Chef Rafa prepared an exquisite 5 course meal directly in front of us, while Sarah (Chef Antonio's wife) paired each dish with delicious wines from across the globe. A true farm-to-table experience with an up-scale penache that blends their passion for food, and love of fresh and local ingredients into every bite. Experience it for yourself. You can thank me later.

    Antonio and his 3-person team delivered a unique gastronomic experience full of Puerto Rican influence infused with his 20-year culinary adventures in South America and Barcelona. A single-seating of 5 courses to include scallops, duck, grouper, short ribs, and Puerto Rican cacao soufflé: and that was just our menu tonight! He works with vendors everywhere to provide the freshest ingredients. At the chef’s table you’ll get a behind the scenes experience of an up-scale meal with a direct line to ask any and all questions to the chef and his team from how a dish was prepared to recommendations for local places. Antonio has a great and entertaining delivery made even better by the quality of the food. His staff, his wife and partner, are absolutely exceptional. If you are in Puerto Rico as a native or a tourist, make his restaurant a priority. Easiest 5 stars I’ve given in a long time.

    An experience as familial and close to home as you allow it to be. On our visit, host Chefs were gliding gracefully around the kitchen floor while seamlessly transitioning from dish to dish to deliver a truly unique experience. Passion, innovation, friendliness, and fire to inspire are visibly displayed on the Chefs' aprons. Thank you, Chefs, for such an unforgettable night. See you again in a couple of weeks.

    Had a fantastic dining experience at Epicuro. Chef Antonio and Rafa prepared a fantastic five course meal in front of us, explaining all the steps and his choices of ingredients and influences, while Sarah paired each course expertly with the perfect wine. All ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious - a true farm to table experience. Thank you Antonio for cheerfully answering our novice chef questions about olive oil vs butter, best ways to grill a salmon, and how to keep the soufflé from falling. Highly recommend treating yourself to a great night at Epicuro. No backup necessary. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to San Juan.
