The restaurant also doubles as a beach bar, where you can sip a cocktail to the accompaniment of lounge music. It's also a great place to have fun, as DJ and live music evenings are sometimes organized.
BLISS
Read moreFor many the best restaurant in Cabarete. The framework is surprising by its refinement. You will be surrounded by a swimming pool and a tropical garden, a chic hacienda atmosphere… The reception and the service are impeccable and the chef pays homage to Mediterranean cuisine, simply succulent! Seafood products, earth products, everything is good to spend an excellent time. Very nice wine card with a nice description for everyone. As soon as you get through the door, you will be transported over time. A real film decor!
EL CABITO
Read moreA magical place, a restaurant with fine cuisine and unparalleled nature - that's what El Cabito promises. This is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional places in Las Galeras: a true corner of paradise. When it comes to food, the place's great specialty is Spanish: here, they prepare paella to die for, as well as excellent calamari a la romana, and fish cooked with skill and accompanied by a generous garnish. Please note that the road is not asphalted; it takes 15 minutes to get there from Las Galeras.
EL CONDE
Read moreIdeally located on Parque Colón, this is the end of the day par excellence. From 5 p. m. the tables on the terrace are very coveted for aperitifs. We observe the animation of the place, the ballet of the small shoe scars, the proposals of lottery ticket sellers, the solicitations of the street merchants, musicians… perfect also for a small stop, a light refreshment or lunch to punctuate the visit of the colonial city. Fast food, salads and sandwiches, simple Dominican dishes, mojito and pina colada.
CAFE DE PARIS
Read moreWhat a sight it is to eat next to the famous Laguna Gri Gri and to see the locals gather at the edge of it to have a drink and jump happily into the water. Inside, you will enjoy the giant screen that broadcasts all the major sporting events. Then it's time to eat one of the great dishes on the menu. Whether it's a European dish or a typical Dominican one, all the products are fresh and reasonably priced. Tip: go at noon to eat the daily special, which is always from the local morning market.
BOCA MARINA
Read moreThe restaurant-club offers, with its nice decor of wood and coral stones, a very pleasant beach club atmosphere. The wooden pontoon is decorated with deckchairs and a bar with access to the sea. The decor is idyllic in this establishment on stilts, the food is good and the atmosphere always pleasant. Good for lunch and dinner. You can enjoy mainly seafood specialities in a romantic setting. We recommend thecanoa de mariscos, seafood au gratin with mozzarella and presented in a half pineapple.
EL CONUCO
Read moreHere, we eat in the open air in a large house typical of the Dominican countryside, served by boys in campesino costume. On the entertainment side, Dominican dance and song shows will liven up your meal from appetizer to dessert! This restaurant, originally one of the favorites of the Dominicans, has become a very touristy place. The very copious buffet lunch formula allows you to taste all the Dominican specialities. It remains an excellent address to discover the Dominican cuisine and music of the Cibao.
RESTAURANT DE LAS PUERTAS DEL PARAISO
Read moreIn the lush garden surrounding the pool, you can eat at one of the best tables in the area. Pasta, fish or lobster... everything is fresh and well prepared! On the menu: grouper en papillote with passion fruit, fillet of sea bream with vanilla, fish soup, steak tartare, fish cooked a la plancha... the dishes are neat and delicious. A beautiful wine list. Here is a sure value. The place being victim of its success, think of reserving the weekend.
SAONA CAFÉ
Read moreLocated near the sea and in the heart of a fishing village, the Saona Café is a small bistro of straw hut type held by a couple of Quebecers who will receive you like at home. It is the meeting place of tourists, locals and workers of the tourist industry: perfect to have the good information when arriving in Bayahibe! They serve you in French, English and Spanish. From breakfast to burgers, including lionfish, the house specialty! Good local beer, on draft. Service at the bar.
LA CASA DEL PESCADOR
Read moreThe restaurant La Casa del Pescador, installed directly on the beach, is very pleasant and frequented as well by the few tourists passing by as by the Dominicans. 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!
AL PASITO
Read moreBetween downtown and the beach. Sabine ran a brasserie in France for many years before selling everything to create Al Pasito with her son Léo. They have succeeded in creating a hippie chic atmosphere, a bohemian place that is reminiscent of the early days of Las Terrenas! The atmosphere is particularly warm and the service friendly. Finally, the cuisine is just like the place, original and well done. Tip: let yourself be tempted by the chicken with green curry sauce, it's a real delight! Good cocktails.
RANCHO TIPICO CUEVA DE LA AGUILAS
Read moreAn establishment which is deserved because the road to get there is bad, but you will be rewarded for your efforts by the idyllic setting which welcomes you! You will be able to taste a bahia fongo (mango purée with fish, the local speciality) or a meru filet. Large straw huts are installed to allow you to eat with your feet in the water. The staff will take you and pick you up in a lancha. You can also do glamping (in tents)!
BETTY BLUE
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 decor is really charming: a small straw hut and a wooden terrace on the beach, with a view of the sea and the fishermen's boats. The music is not deafening like in some bars, in short we liked it! Wifi.
TIPICO BONAO
Read moreWhat a charming discovery, along the highway some 4 km north of the exit for Bonao. You are welcomed into a real tepee with a purely Dominican menu. The sancocho is one of the best we know, the tripe soup will delight giblet lovers and the appetizer croquettes (crab, chicken, shrimp) are exquisite. The restaurant is always bursting at the seams, and all the products, meat and fish alike, are impeccably fresh. A very fine address for a motorway stopover. Secure parking.
PAT'E PALO
Read moreVery fashionable, elegant and well-frequented restaurant. The lounge music and the contemporary paintings contrast with a tavern decor from another time. The menu is well stocked with meat and fish specialties(churrasco or ribs, lobster, fish, shrimp, ceviche...), pasta and risottos. The quality is excellent, the service quality, and the decor simply dreamy. In the evening, the large terrace faces the illuminated Alcazar de Colon. The atmosphere is intimate, and you can dine in good company. Ideal also for a drink.
XO
Read moreThe chic, uncluttered decor, relaxed atmosphere and tasty cuisine are the hallmarks of this renowned restaurant. Ghislaine and Thierry serve seafood specialities such as cassolette, tuna tataki and excellent stuffed crabs, as well as a trio of mini burgers with caramelised onions, some good pasta dishes and ravioli. Nice wine list, well prepared desserts and beautiful sunsets, cocktail in hand! On Friday evening (8:30 pm), a singer comes to liven up the meal (reservation recommended).
CASA AZUL
Read moreThe ideal address to have lunch with your feet in the sand! Sacha and his father bought the oldest hut of Las Terrenas to make of it one of the addresses impossible to circumvent of the corner. The decor is magical, fine sand and Caribbean sea, sea breeze and coconut trees... The dishes are good and copious (they make the best pizzas, according to some), and the atmosphere is friendly. You can eat on the sand, on plastic tables, or on the covered terrace, all dressed in blue. A sure value for an excellent quality-price ratio.
O'GRILL
Read moreBig friendly wooden tables and a nice bar sheltered under its cana roof, the place is nice and proposes one of the best meat of Las Terrenas. It serves daily cuisine, mixed salads, grilled meats (don't miss the Sunday pig, cooked on the spit, in season!) and fish, with even a fondue bourguignonne. A more elegant and intimate note in the evening, when the restaurant plays with soft lights. A very good address with a quality service. Possibility to eat on the beach, with your feet in the sand.
CAFE PETRUS
Read moreIt is interesting to stop at lunchtime. This is the meeting of people who work in the corner. A lot of entertainment around a quick kitchen with salads, pizzas and sandwiches.
RITA’S CAFE
Read moreSimple and quick cooking. Its terrace, opposite the Alcazar, is very pleasant.
