Inventive and delicious menu fusing local ingredients with tradition European fare like gnocchi. Love, love, love the plantain gnocchi. The only things I would recommend would be the apple martinis. Appetizers are about $7 and main courses are $18-$22.

Citron is one of the top two or three restaurants in San Salvador. It's located in what used to be a private home with beautiful modern architecture and interior design. The food is loosely based on Salvadoran cuisine but with a contemporary international twist. Many of their ingredients come from the back yard garden, and they make others in-house, like... More

If you like fusion cuisine with some locally inspired dishes this is the place. Very elegant and upmarket with a good choice of wine and a good service

Before dining at Citron, I had never been to a restaurant where I could have ordered and been happy with any appetizer, salad, entree, or dessert. Every item on the menu sounded delicious. Luckily, we (3 persons) agreed that the menu description was translated onto the plate. The food was delicious. The beautiful surroundings, refined service, and excellent food made... More

This was our second visit and overall my wife and I were very happy. The atmosphere is great and the service is over the top but charming. What holds this restaurant back from getting 5 stars is the menu. We were here in January and the menu (just 8 entrees or so) is almost exactly the same. It is very... More

I heard a lot about this place. The atmosphere was wonderful. English menu amazing service but the food was to bland maybe it was because we came right before they closed. The drinks were great.

We went to Citron with a group of 8 people and has the most amazing service, wine and food. We ordered a variety of appetizers which were all very delicious but the rabbit sausage was exceptional and local. For dinner the deer stir-fry and the fillet were big hits. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. Everyone in our group loved... More

Citron is a very elegant, tasty and nice restaurant. It's one of the top restaurant in San Salvador. Pricey but worthy if you are looking for an intimate place where they are serving delicious food. Absolutely try dedos de yucca and the homemade ice cream. Perfect for intimate dinner or business dinner
