neutral  Rick Larg: I have just seen viva madrid's coments below. I agree LisaMac: in fact the Puerto Rico Tourist Board's flyer does exactly that but not as well as you!

  -> Fair point, but it might be explained in brackets for non-Spanish speakers

agree  Jessica Agullo: gourmet restaurant more than inn - the suggestion to leave in spanish is good though - as it adds some local flavor and is essentially understood.

This is a special PRTC program that recognizes outstanding restaurants outside of San Juan that maintain the highest level of quality and feature local specialties. Only restaurants with the PRTC endorsement can call themselves a Mesón Gastronómico.

agree  Rick Larg: They do indeed seem to be trying to sell Mesones Gastronomicos as a marketing brand. However, the Tourist Office’s flyer itself does translate (badly in my opinion) the term in brackets, doing its best to have its cake and eat it!
