Las Bovedas

The word "bovedas" means "dungeons", in this case under the defensive sea wall of the Casco Viejo or old city, at the picturesque French Plaza.

Several of the dungeons have been converted into a chic restaurant and bar. A visit to cafe Las Bovedas is a special experience, whether you sit outside on the plaza or under the centuries-old domed ceilings of cut stone and brick of the artfully-converted dungeons themselves.

A varied and innovative menu is under the supervision of general manager Capt. Ricardo Traad Porras. Jazz bands are featured some nights, especially at weekends.

  • Location: Plaza Francia - San Felipe Casco Viejo
