What happened to all the restaurants at Altos ?

Cafe de la Construction
Could there be someone new moving into Altos de Chavon? Where once stood the familiar Cafe del Sol, which served brick / wood oven pizza for more years than I can remember, now stands nothing but a closed up space begging to be opened. I have such fond memories of Cafe del Sol, having some […]

So its been a few months, 7 I believe, since the construction on the Marocha steak house at the Casa de Campo Marina began. Personally, it’s looking good. Real good. So good in fact, that I could have sworn that they had finished it back in February… alas it has yet to open. At this […]

The variety is also quite impressive with everything from your regular burger, which is really the only ‘regular’ item, to a most exquisite calamari stuffed with chorizo. While the menu […]
