Every Tuesday and Saturday, a few spots open up to join our farm-to-table experience. We begin around 5:30 pm with a tour around the property, where you can meet our chickens and enjoy our garden and orchards, just before joining a long table for a delicious dinner made by the El Pretexto team with locally sourced ingredients, lots of love, and the opportunity to pair it with great wines. Endorsed by Puerto Rico Tourism Company as a certified AgriTourism experience.
The Long Table at El Pretexto is our new farm-to-table experience. A decidedly more casual approach, with as much open fire cooking and seasonal local produce as we can get our hands on.
The evening begins with a short walk through our project, gardens, and farming areas, reconnecting with the land, the chickens, and the seasonal ingredients that shape our meals. We then sit together at one long shared table for 4-5 courses of family-style food, celebrating ingredients sourced from our farm and local producers. Food is served in abundance, meant to be shared. Conversations unfold naturally. Keeping to our mission of creating a magical space to gather and connect with new people.
Some evenings feature our kitchen team; others welcome invited chefs and great home cooks to share their artwork alongside us. Local first. Seasonal first. Always generous. Every time, connected to the countryside. The experience is intimate, unhurried, and deeply rooted in the mountains of Cayey.
Depending on the sunset time, we will begin between 5:15 and 5:45 pm. You will receive an email with the exact time the day before your reservation.
The meal will be made with fresh ingredients, with one animal protein and lots of vegetable-forward sides, and will close with a homemade dessert. We ask about any allergies or restrictions so they can be considered, and let our creativity flow! [Sorry, we don’t have a menu to share and these experiences are not a good fit for vegans.]
The price is per person. Everyone will be seated on a long communal table. Wine is available by the glass or by the bottle from our curated list.
El Pretexto is an adult-only and smoking-free venue. Thanks for your consideration!
