Born from the dreams of immigrants and their children, Providencia brings together the rich culinary traditions of Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America to craft an experience unlike any other in Washington, D.C. Every detail, from the innovative dishes to the thoughtfully curated cocktails, tells a story of resilience, connection, and cultural pride.
Behind the bar, Pedro Tobar and Danny Gonzalez channel the vibrant spirit of their Salvadoran upbringings, blending nostalgia and creativity into every drink.
In the kitchen, Co-Chefs Erik Bruner-Yang and Paola Velez—visionaries and advocates for cultural change—draw from their Taiwanese and Dominican roots, creating bold, globally inspired bites that feel both familiar and unexpected.
With its small, carefully curated space, Providencia invites you to slow down, and savor every moment.
