3.2/5
5 reviews

This establishment offers a lounge atmosphere on a magnificent terrace by the sea. In perfect harmony with nature, the decoration is ethnic and sober: pure white and the strength of wood are the main elements. Both bar and restaurant, Paco Cabana is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy an inventive cuisine. It plays with the flavours of local products and spices, and dares to create new combinations, such as the fillet of captain with pan-fried mango and onion chutney. Nice wine list. French welcome.

MESÓN DE BARI

3/5
1 review

This restaurant, run by the same Dominican family for 60 years, surprises with its walls covered with paintings by many local artists, most of which are for sale. The result is a permanent exhibition of paintings by the best talents of the country. The artists of the colonial zone meet there around a cold Presidente at the counter or a dish of cangrejo guisado, their specialty, a kind of creole crab stew. For dessert lovers, we recommend the dulce de coco! Quality service and friendly atmosphere.
