From a press release:
“Providencia proudly announces chef Paola Velez as co-owner and co-chef of the newly opened Asian-Latin neighborhood cocktail bar. A visionary in the culinary world, Velez brings her creative expertise and cultural storytelling to Providencia, where she and fellow James Beard-nominated chef Erik Bruner-Yang collaborate to craft an inclusive, joyful dining experience.
This latest venture on Washington, D.C.’s H street corridor infuses Asian and Latin American culinary traditions, offering a distinctive dining and beverage experience in the city’s vibrant food scene. Together with the team, Velez leads Providencia as a space where innovative flavors come together in unexpected, delicious ways.
“With Providencia, we’re weaving a story of culinary joy and herencia (heritage),” says Velez. “Being back in the kitchen has rekindled my love for creating experiences that connect people. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a celebration of our roots and the powerful stories that come with them.”
Providencia is more than a cocktail bar—it’s a cultural gathering place where the community can enjoy rotating secret menus, seasonal specials and guest chef collaborations. Co-owners Erik Bruner-Yang, Paola Velez, Pedro Tobar, and Daniel Gonzalez invite guests to experience this vibrant space and its cross-cultural flavors, one of D.C.’s most intimate dining spots with just 22 seats.
