Santo Domingo’s historic Gazcue district has unveiled a sophisticated new culinary destination that merges gastronomic excellence with cultural immersion. Peces de Ciudad, strategically positioned at the intersection of Cervantes and Josefa Perdomo streets, represents an ambitious venture by proprietors Ángel Luis Peña and Rebeca Martínez to create an urban sanctuary where refined cuisine intersects with intellectual discourse and artistic appreciation.
The establishment’s culinary philosophy is built upon an innovative collaboration between two distinguished chefs with complementary expertise. Executive Chef Rafael Mejía brings technical mastery of Spanish culinary traditions, while Chef Walter Núñez contributes his specialized knowledge of Peru’s diverse flavor profiles. Their synergistic partnership has yielded a menu that seamlessly integrates classic Spanish tapas with iconic Peruvian specialties, accompanied by an expertly curated selection of international wines, signature cocktails, and artisanal beers.
Since its inaugural service on December 26, 2025, the gastrobar has cultivated an atmosphere specifically designed to encourage prolonged social engagement and relaxation. The venue’s acoustic landscape features carefully selected musical programming—including singer-songwriter compositions, trova, and Spanish-language rock—that provides the perfect backdrop for both casual luncheons and evening social gatherings. Enhancing its cultural credentials, the space regularly hosts live musical performances on designated dates throughout the calendar year.
Operational hours accommodate diverse patron preferences: Monday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (with final kitchen orders at 10:00 p.m.) and Sunday operations from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (kitchen service until 5:00 p.m.). This scheduling strategy effectively serves both the professional lunch crowd and evening patrons seeking sophisticated dining experiences. For ongoing updates and special event announcements, the establishment maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @pecesdeciudadrd.
