Buche Perico is a standout dining destination in Santo Domingo’s historic Zona Colonial, known as the Caribbean’s first greenhouse restaurant. Set inside a striking indoor garden with a waterfall and lush vertical plant walls, the space blends colonial charm with modern design for a truly unique atmosphere. Led by Chef Ejecutivo Javier Cabrera, recognized with a Michelin star in 2012 for his work at Els Brancs, the kitchen serves contemporary Dominican cuisine built around fresh, locally grown produce from the restaurant’s own greenhouse. The menu highlights reinvented classics, including the signature Buche Perico stew from the Cibao region, alongside seafood, pasta, and wood-fired pizza. Weekend brunch, live music, and a cozy interior patio make it a favorite for both casual meals and special celebrations. Located at Calle El Conde #53, it’s a must-visit for travellers exploring Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone. Reservations via WhatsApp: (809) 338-0011.
