It offers, with its feet in the sand, a simple international cuisine with pasta dishes with shrimps, lobster, meats in sauce or grilled and fish. The Creole-style lobster (very affordable) is one of our favorite dishes here, all of which come with chips or rice. But the Casa del Pescador is good for a coffee break too!

Read moreIn place of the former Chikybu, a sushi specialist, Betty Blue has been open since spring 2020. You can still eat Japanese specialities, but also very good dishes based on local meats and fish, as well as pizzas, declined according to numerous and classic recipes.

The music is not deafening like in some bars, in short we liked it! Wifi.

You can choose to eat on the street in a Caribbean atmosphere, or to eat on the beach in a more lounge-like atmosphere. You can also sip a cocktail in the deckchairs installed directly on the beach. The owner is Haitian, as are most of the employees - so you'll get a French-speaking welcome. Simplicity, good mood and typical cuisine. We like it.

Some would even say that it is the best restaurant in San Pedro de Macoris.

LA YOLA
Read moreA Punta Cana institution. For over 15 years, people have been flocking to eat on this sublime manglet terrace on stilts just above the sea. The ambiance is romantic and intimate, overlooking the marina, accompanied every evening by a jazz trio. The cuisine is an explosion of flavors, with seafood as the star attraction. The menu has a strong Mediterranean accent with a Caribbean touch. We recommend the Punta Cana ceviche and the Caribbean-style eggplant parmesan. Excellent wine list.

In this case, it is a lounge restaurant with an uncluttered style that offers international dishes with Asian accents. The terrace is a pleasant place to eat and drink in the evening. Excellent service. We come here mainly to taste the sushi and other well-made dishes, but also to attend the show cooking provided by the chef every day after sunset. For a change of flavour.
