Cafe De La Plaza Participates in Puerto Rico Restaurant Week 2017 & 2018

Cafe de La Plaza had the honor to be chosen to represent Palmas del Mar, PR in the 2017 & 2018 Edition of Puerto Rico's Restaurant Week. This well recognized culinary event choses select restaurants to show case their menus in an affordable Pre Fix menu dining experience.

Young female owner Cristina A Colon, Esq. stated about the event, "It was a true pleasure for our restaurant to participate in such a prestigious culinary event and to represent the Palmas del Mar community as a culinary destination. I hope our work inspires other young female entrepreneurs in the industry to dream big & keep pushing to meet their goals."

This was Cafe de La Plaza's first participation in PR Restaurant Week and hopefully the first of many more to come.  Puerto Rico Restaurant Week is an event that gets island wide recognition.  Sponsors included Jet Blue, Metro PR, Spoon Food Tours, Sabrosia, Gustazos, and more.
