Enjoy breakfast or brunch at The English Rose in Rincón.
The English Rose
Nestled in Rincon's Ensenada Hills is one of the most popular brunch spots in area, The English Rose. The menu includes local cuisine as well as English and American dishes, plus vegan and vegetarian alternatives. Our favorites are the hot mushroom toast and the house Bloody Mary. We also love that all their breads are homemade.
The English Rose is also a guesthouse, and diners who aren't staying at the property can purchase a day pass to enjoy the pool before or after lunch. If you want to taste what all the fuss is about, be sure to make a reservation.

Estela Restaurant
In April 2015, Biver Estela and Nerylu Figueroa decided to pack their bags and move from San Juan to Rincón, one of their favorite on-Island vacation destinations, to open their own restaurant — Estela. A success from the jump, the restaurant quickly caught the eye of Abel Mendoza, a renowned chef and James Beard semifinalist, who has created an incredible menu filled with farm-to-table flavors. From vegetarian-friendly paella to NY strip, octopus, and red snapper, their menu offers something for every traveler, especially those who are up for trying something new and innovative!
