Mostaza

The chefs at Mostaza prepare dishes with dashes of innovation like tropical fruit sauces to flavor locally-sourced meats, and serve freshly-made pasta and freshly-caught fish beside a centuries-old exposed stone wall in one dining room (or at tables out on the plaza if patrons prefer). The impeccable atmosphere is a product of candles flickering over white tablecloths in a colonial-era edifice, just across the street from the ruins of Santo Domingo. The location has proven ideal for this sophisticated restaurant, as foreseen by the owners who hail from Panama and Argentina. Mostaza is closed Mondays, and does not serve lunch on Saturday or Sunday. Reservations are suggested.
