Pikayo

$$$$, Contemporary, San Juan

User Rating: ***** 4.6

Fodor's Review:

Chef Wilo Benet is clearly the star here -- a plasma television lets diners watch everything that's going on in his kitchen. The Puerto Rico native artfully fuses Caribbean cuisine with influences from around the world. Veal is served in a swirl of sweet-pea couscous, for example, and beef medallions are covered with crumbled blue cheese and a red-wine reduction. The regularly changing menu is a feast for the eye as well as the palate, and might include perfectly shaped tostones stuffed with oven-dried tomatoes, or mofongo topped with saffron shrimp. A changing selection of paintings wraps around the minimalist dining room -- the restaurant is, after all, inside a museum. It's in Santurce, just south of Condado.
