About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Unique creative cuisine in a beautiful setting, outstanding friendly service, and food that will entice all your senses. From the start when we got to the restaurant and the welcoming staff, we were filled with excitement. The menu is amazing and it was hard to decide what to order, as we wanted to try everything! We liked everything so much that we decided to make another reservation while we were at the restaurant so we could try more dishes! Drinks were also excellent. The owner’s love for the restaurant is palpable in every detail from the food, to the staff, and the decor. What a gem! We are coming back tomorrow and will be coming back every time we are in Ponce. Thank you to everyone who was part of our wonderful experience.
