Providencia

The Newest Additions to The MICHELIN Guide Washington, D.C.: October 2025

"In the moody, small space of Providencia I initially thought it was just a really good bar until the cooking from co-chefs Erik Bruner-Yang and Paola Velez revealed an enticing mash-up of Asian, Caribbean and Latin American traditions; dishes balance nostalgia and creativity—papusa with salsa verde, pan de playa with shredded crab in a Caesar dressing and tomato gochujang mayo tucked inside toasted brioche—and even dessert surprises, like a Japanese twist on baked Alaska featuring kakigori-style shaved ice with guava and strawberry puree and coconut lime sauce enrobed in torched meringue." - The MICHELIN Guide
