Definitely one of the best restaurants in Santo Domingo. If you want to experience classic Spanish cuisine with a great atmosphere, professional and friendly staff, and very good food and wine - You’re here at the Right Place. We often come just for a nice bottle of red and a cold platter, it is great. Don Pepe is always a good choice.

We visited this restaurant for dinner and were delighted with the recommendations provided by our friendly bar servers. The seafood was exceptionally fresh, and I was particularly fond of the crab-filled avocado. While there were many aged meats in the restaurant , they weren’t prominently featured on the menu . Overall, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We would definitely return to this restaurant in the future.
