Founded in 2012 by Paulina Salach and Gustavo Antonetti, Spoon is Puerto Rico’s leading tour operator and travel planning & logistics company with a specialization in culinary experiences. We craft immersive, authentic, and educational gastronomic & cultural experiences for the leisure and corporate markets. On the leisure segment we service groups, families, solo explorers, couples, and business travelers; and on the corporate segment, we have partnerships with companies, hotels, cruise lines, travel agents, and online travel agencies (OTAs). From walking food and cocktails tours in San Juan to driving tours throughout Puerto Rico, hands-on cooking classes and farm tours, private dinners and events, we curate an array of culinary and cultural experiences.
Our travel planning division, renowned for its stellar customer service, ensures that each client’s preferences are met and expectations are exceeded. Whether it’s airport transfers, hotel and restaurant reservations, team building experiences, outdoor adventures, or salsa classes, every detail is meticulously planned and seamlessly executed.
Throughout the years, we have won national and international awards, and have been featured in noteworthy publications such as The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The Guardian, The NY Times, Forbes, Food & Wine Magazine, Washington Post, Lonely Planet, et al.
We are the owners and producers of Puerto Rico Restaurant Week™, an annual event that for the last decade has significantly increased revenue for the restaurant and tourism industries and has helped position Puerto Rico as a top culinary destination. In 2021, we were selected by the James Beard Foundation to become their partners in Puerto Rico and produce all of the Foundation’s events on the Island.
We believe in giving back to the community and proudly work with dozens of local restaurants, bars, cafés, farms, chefs, bartenders, shops, baristas, farmers, artists and small business owners throughout the Island.
Through these partnerships, our company directly impacts the economy, supports sustainable tourism and agriculture, and creates jobs, both directly and indirectly.
