A labor of love
Niche's creation was a labor of love. The room was built with repurposed granite — sourced from the remnants of a major convention-center project — and crafted with exotic mahogany and Puerto Rican cedar, a testament to a commitment to sustainability and aesthetic excellence.
At Niche, Chef Carlos brings creative expertise and a deep passion for food, combining French culinary traditions with innovative Puerto Rican fusion flavors — a symphony of taste and artistry that is nothing short of extraordinary.
Where design tells its own story
The restaurant's aesthetic narrates a story of its own — three Buddhas representing creation, an intricately designed bar made from mahogany, and a mesmerizing mural depicting the birth of stars, all woven into one harmonious narrative.
Careful consideration of airflow, energy consumption, and material sourcing underscores a dedication to sustainability. Every detail, from the repurposed granite to the floating stairs leading into the restaurant, contributes to the grand narrative of Niche.
