Roost Santurce opens at Plaza de Diego with a $200,000 investment
Roost Santurce, a restaurant from a couple who ran a restaurant in Sparkill, New York, for 13 years, opened on Sunday, November 8, in the former Bistro de Paris space across from the Puerto Rico Museum of Art and next to the Minillas Government Center, WJournal PR reported. The outlet put the investment at $200,000 and the new jobs at 12.
The restaurant has 60 seats across two dining rooms, a bar with seating for eight and 12 more seats on a terrace overlooking Santurce Park, the outlet reported. The couple sold their New York restaurant to open in Santurce and will serve dinner Thursday through Monday.
The filings behind the opening
The restaurant's operating company filed its plans at Plaza de Diego, 310 Avenida de Diego, a condominium in Santurce. On June 16, 2026, it filed a single permit application for a restaurant that listed eight jobs; that application is recorded as returned for correction.
On August 25, 2026, the company filed a use recommendation for a restaurant with retail sale of alcoholic beverages in suite 102 of the building, recorded as approved.
A broker ad for a 470-square-foot corner retail space in the same building, which it described as right beside Bistro de Paris, asked $2,500 a month, about $5.32 a square foot. The space was advertised until October 24, 2025.
