The restaurant Meson de la Cava opened its doors in 1967. Since that time it has been one of Santo Domingo’s most popular restaurants for both Dominican and tourist from all over the world. It is situated in a natural lime stone cave. Created Millions of years ago by the “Waves Action” when the coast line hugged this cliff.

The numerous caves along the cliff sheltered many different types of people through its long history. Remains of the native Taino Indians have been discovered here along with Pirates and Buccaneers who used this caves as a “Hideout” in preparation for their frequent assaults on the city of Santo Domingo.

In more recent years freedom fighters called “Gavilleros” used the caves as a sanctuary from occupation forces in 1930.

The latest group to use this caves was the OEA (Organization of America states). Here they store provisions for their troops. We are proud to be located in such an interesting and historically significant site.
