About the restaurant

At Casarré, our menu is a journey through the Caribbean’s culinary landscapes across multiple courses and thoughtfully crafted drinks. Each season is shaped through research, field visits, and dialogue with producers, cooks, and living traditions across the region. We work with fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seafood, guided by technique, intuition, and collaboration. We cook the Caribbean from Santo Domingo, with respect for its complexity and a perspective of our own.
