Jardín Suizo Malecón

Frommer's Review

Simple, well-scrubbed, and unpretentious, a tradition here since 1990, this restaurant sits directly astride the Malecón's most easterly end, and because of a rather small sign, is a bit difficult to spot. Some things about it might remind you of a trattoria in southern Europe, thanks to tiles, cloth-draped tables set close together, and views out over the seafront promenade. Sliding windows are pulled back to take in views of the ocean. The food is fresh and well prepared, although some of the dishes might be a little heavy for the tropics. You can order such dishes as sliced filet of pork in a mushroom-flavored cream sauce, or three different medallions of meat in a wine sauce. The best item we enjoyed on the menu is the freshly caught fish filet of the day in garlic sauce. Many international dishes are offered as well, including tasty shish kabob, chicken curries, and a thick beef stroganoff.
