El Concon, one of Juan Dolio’s oldest and most famous restaurants, burned completely to the ground around noon on Monday 27 April 2015.
The fire started at around 10.40am, 20 minutes before the restaurant was due to open. Marcelino de la Cruz of the Los Guayacanes fire brigade said that a specialist team would examine the area to establish what caused the blaze.
He said that everything had been totally burned but at the moment they had no monetary value on the loss.
Dozens of staff members will lose their jobs due to the fire.
The restaurant was not only famous for its food but also for hosting musicians and pianists at the weekends.
