Restaurants cuisine du monde Dominican Republic

One of the house specialties is mofongo, a typical Puerto Rican plantain dish. People come from all over town to enjoy it on the covered terrace with its colorful tables. The other is grilled meats, a la parilla. Also soups, pasta, marinated or filleted fish. And a few coconut desserts to end on a sweet note. The menu is varied, so there's something for everyone. A warm, Dominican atmosphere. El Zaguan is one of La Vega's finest restaurants.

Aroma de la Montaña is without a doubt one of the restaurants with the most incredible setting in the Dominican Republic: a 360° rotating panoramic view (Warning: the rotation only operates on weekends, Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday lunch). The view is really splendid. Unfortunately, it is this one that you pay for, and not what's on your plate (where the bill goes up very quickly, but not the quality). It is better to come and have a glass of wine before or after dinner, especially to admire the sunset.

Far West atmosphere and decor at Kukara Macara, a bit like a French Buffalo Grill, with the added bonus of staff dressed in period costumes. This is a family restaurant offering soups, salads, sushi, pasta, grilled steaks with all kinds of sauces, fish and lobsters. A menu, you will have understood, very diversified which should satisfy all the desires. A change of scenery guaranteed, a place that will make children happy. Warm welcome and successful service. A good value for money to try.

Noah is one of Santiago's most fashionable restaurants for the upper classes. The main room is elegant, and the large terrace overlooks the monument to the heroes of Restauración .

We recommend the Moncarlo pastelitos as an appetizer - a real treat! Karaoke on Tuesdays. Professional service and calm atmosphere.

It is on the terrace of a large chalet with a view of the surrounding mountains that Pucho welcomes you to discover one of the great specialties of the country: El Mofongo. It is green plantains, fried and seasoned with garlic, olive oil and pork. You can customize it to your taste (shrimp, chicken, salami or chorizo). Many say it is the best in the country! The bucolic setting, the warmth of the welcome and the quality of the dishes make it a must in Jarabacoa. Concerts two Saturdays a month.

Located in the small Don Jorge shopping centre, this air-conditioned café-restaurant is a great choice for eating fresh local produce with many vegetarian options. The menu consists of salads, burgers, wraps and fajitas, each dish is cooked in a healthy and balanced way (wholemeal flour used for the fajitas for example). The place is also famous for its breakfasts as well as for its fruity, refreshing and energizing smoothies. In short, a very good alternative in Jarabacoa!

A little corner of Italy in the middle of the Dominican mountains! The emphasis here is on authenticity, from the warm, personalized welcome to the exclusive Italian-language menu, including products imported from Italy. All the specialties of the Botte are on the menu: pasta, risottos, bruschettas and pizzas... Located a little way from the city center, you'll find yourself in a peaceful setting with a magnificent view of the mountains (for maximum enjoyment, we recommend the tables on the terrace). A fine wine list... Italian, of course!

This is one of the best value for money restaurants in Cabarete for late morning dining. The tables are painted in the colors of the land of the sombrero. The tacos, burritos and bowls are customizable. Ideal for vegetarians who will have a large choice of dishes. Gordito's Fresh Mex speciality is the mambo fish taco, which is delicious. Small terrace in front of the restaurant. Dynamic and fast service, just like the restaurant's spirit.

Dom Ham is a very popular address, very frequented by the inhabitants of La Romana, but also by expatriates living in the city and by travelers in search of meaty flavors. It is impossible to miss the large straw hut open to the four winds, serving as the main service room and decorated with flags from all over the world. The specialty here? Solid hamburgers! You can also taste good pieces of meat grilled, to be accompanied by one of the 25 international beers that the place serves. Relaxed atmosphere.

In the middle of the Malecón, this Spanish-inspired tavern prepares international cuisine and Mediterranean and Creole specialties (grilled fish, coconut fish, fried bananas, paellas, calamari a la plancha...). Plates to share will delight groups of friends or families, as well as the large outdoor terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Adjacent to the restaurant, a bar belonging to the same owners offers cocktails and karaoke nights. The prices are not given on the other hand.

La Romana locals can be heard saying "if you haven't eaten at Shish Kabab, you haven't been to La Romana!". Established in 1969, it was the first foreign speciality restaurant to open its doors in this town. The walls are adorned with photos of the many national and international personalities who have eaten here (feel free to ask the owner for their names). The menu is divided between oriental dishes (the kibe is a delight) and Dominican dishes with excellent fish recipes. Large outdoor terrace, but on the roadside.

Here the chef is Mama Rosa, and you can hear it! Hola mi amor is usually the greeting of this authentic Pica Pollo, renowned for serving the freshest fish in Bayahibe! Also on the menu, solid lobsters, but also all the great Dominican specialties, prepared with love and attention and accompanied by small vegetables, wine or beer. And to conclude with a digestive mamajuana ! The small coloured hut offers a few tables outside where you can enjoy the pleasant sea breeze. A very local address that is worth a visit!

It's with joy and good humor, and a big, infectious smile to boot, that we're welcomed by the managers of La Ola. The little Mediterranean-style wooden straw hut faces the sea and enjoys a delightful sea breeze. Seafood is the order of the day, as are some very French specialties. The menu, on a slate, changes regularly and depends on the catch of the day. All this for unbeatable value for money. As you can see, this is a highly recommended stop-off in town.

A 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.

Zen Restaurant & Lounge is one of the many themed restaurants at Hard Rock Café PuntaCana. 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.

A real mamma italiana 's house decor for this Italian restaurant combining Mediterranean and Dominican cuisine. A true institution in the Punta Cana region, Luisa Patrovita, whom everyone calls the mamma, and her two children - Rossana and Joaquín - run the place. The great classics are there: pasta, ravioli, fresh fish, and of course a delicious tiramisu for dessert. The presentation is neat and the service impeccable. Every weekend, a jazz band plays for dinner.

Citrus is one of the most popular restaurants in Bávaro. In a simple but elegant setting, you can eat a mixture of Mediterranean, Asian and Caribbean cuisine.

Finally, music lovers will be delighted as a band plays international music every Friday night. One of the best value for money in the region. An address to discover.

For many, the best restaurant in Santo Domingo. Popular with wealthy families and Dominican celebrities, SBG (Sophia's Bar & Grill) is as fascinating for its decor as for its inventive international cuisine. Inside, antiques rub shoulders with designer furniture in a fusion of details. The large sofas and atmosphere make you feel at home very quickly. In the kitchen, the house specialties are risotto de chivo (goat risotto) and rock shrimp tempura . Shaded outdoor terrace. Reservations recommended.

It's not always easy to find a good place to grab a bite to eat in the neighborhood, but at Las Cuatro Hermanas gourmands will be well served! Hearty plates and a simple, family atmosphere. Typical Dominican dishes include chicken, pork, beef or fish, accompanied by rice and pan-fried or fried vegetables. A perfect place to recharge your batteries without breaking the bank, while enjoying a taste of local life in the city.

A good, inexpensive little restaurant to eat at during your visit to San Cristóbal - a stone's throw from all the city's sights. If the service is a little slow when it's busy, it's because this place is a victim of its own success, and locals like to come here to sample the house specialties and daily specials. With its relaxed atmosphere and local cuisine, it's a good opportunity to sample local specialties and soak up the warm atmosphere of the small town. A good little address.

Many of the restaurants are located around the malls, and it is in the San Juan mall that Noah opened a few years ago. Specialized in fusion cuisine, the establishment benefits from a beautiful and large terrace, the grey tones and exotic wood are soothing and the bilingual staff (Spanish-English), efficient and pleasant. You can eat sushi, duck, shrimp pancakes, steaks or chicken parmigiana. From time to time, musicians come to sing.

At D'Randy's, the specialty is fried fish: perfect for sampling the latest arrivals from the sea. Prices are very affordable, so it's a good choice for those on a budget and those looking for a hearty, simple lunch break. The atmosphere is generally upbeat, and the dining room is packed with locals, families and friends. The restaurant offers a wide selection of fish and seafood, which the chefs fry and serve with plantain and lime fries. A real treat for connoisseurs.

For brunch, afternoon tea or lunch with friends, everyone loves Loretta! This popular café has everything you could wish for: charming decor, impeccable service and a varied menu. We sit inside, under the beautiful veranda crossed by a gigantic tree (and air-conditioned, of course), and linger to rest from the heat and bustle of the city. You can go there in the morning for their famous brunch, at lunchtime for risotto or fresh pasta, or simply for a coffee or fresh juice. Wifi available.

This friendly restaurant is run by Alisson and Lara, two young, dynamic sisters who grew up in Las Terrenas from the age of 2 months and 2 years respectively. They know the town better than anyone, and warmly welcome you to their "little corner", which translates from El Yarabi in Taïno. On the menu are their famous tartines, revisited salads, pastries and homemade desserts. A regular address for passers-by and locals alike. So don't hesitate to spend some time at "les sisters", as they're known in the area!

It's a beautiful establishment overlooking the central square with a huge wooden mezzanine. Large and beautiful pizzas are mainly served at Del Parque Galeria, but also Dominican and international dishes with generous portions. The large open terrace on the ground floor is more for aperitif and sometimes even for some wild dance steps... A nice offer of hot and cold drinks, a friendly atmosphere, an attentive and successful service. An address that deserves to be visited.

At Mama Mia, we eat Italian, of course! Freda's fresh pasta, an authentic Italian and fine gourmet, is a real treat... You will have the choice between the great transalpine classics, all the preparations being elaborated from fresh and quality products, like the delicious plate of pasta all'arrabbiata! Note that the restaurant offers lemonades, natural juices and an excellent homemade tiramisù. An exceptional value for money considering the prices charged for a full meal.

We warmly recommend a stop in this pleasant little restaurant. Martin and Antonia welcome you in their tropical inn where a buffet formula (starters, hot dishes and fruits) will be proposed to you. Crudités as starter, meat or rice dishes... Limited choice. Simple and good. To know : a ranch is located next door with about fifteen horses to take you to the waterfall, the ride lasts a good half hour. On the way, the guides explain the local fauna and flora. Craft shop on site.

This restaurant, which does not look like much, is a real institution in Boca Chica. Run by the pleasant Chito for 44 years, it is very frequented by Dominicans or inhabitants of Boca Chica, which is always a good sign. It claims to be the universidad de mariscos (the university of seafood). We confirm! One tastes here a beautiful variety of seafood of fresh fish prepared in salads or in prepared hot dishes: shrimps, lobsters, crabs and lobsters are of the part. All in a simple and popular atmosphere.

For those who want to eat well and cheaply, Don Camaron is the place to be! It is a small restaurant of Mexican specialities, held by a Mexican family! We will find the great gastronomic classics of Mexico, sometimes tasty, sometimes exhilarating and spicy: tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas and other burritos are obviously on the menu! Micheladas (beer/pepper/tomato juice/salt) and cocktails (based on tequila and mezcal) are also offered. Good plan for a quick and nourishing meal!

L'azotea is one of Santo Domingo's finest addresses, with a superb terrace that's pleasant both day and night. Come with friends until late to sip a cocktail or drink a beer, while nibbling on delicious Spanish-style tapas: ham, mushrooms, chorizo, tortillas and croquetas of all kinds. The menu is very extensive, with plenty of hearty dishes to satisfy the cravings of the whole family. Friendly, young and dynamic service, and a great atmosphere at this restaurant in the colonial zone.

This is the landmark of Jarabacoa. You often hear people say "See you at La Tinaja", in Spanish of course. Open to the street, this café-restaurant is always busy. In the morning, workers and hikers meet for an excellent coffee and a hearty breakfast, ideal to start the day on the right foot. In the evening, it's the place to be for an aperitif. In short, a central and unavoidable address for all those who will spend a few days in Jarabacoa.

Without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in the region. The setting is pleasant with its small shaded patio away from the tourist crowds. Here, the fish is in the honor as well as the Tuscan specialities: pasta, pizzas, good pieces of meat accompanied by chips or vegetables... We recommend the fish of the day (roasted) as well as the linguini with lobster. A real treat and generous portions! The whole in a warm atmosphere and a service with the small onions. Some evenings, the meal is accompanied by live music.

THE middle-eastern restaurant of Santo Domingo. Welcome with oriental music, interior room a bit old-fashioned and often deserted, the attraction being the magnificent patio opened on two floors. Besides the menu, filled with tasty falafels, kebabs, hummus (a must) and other chawarma, we like the atmosphere of the place. Sip a fresh chinola juice or a limonana in the shade of giant banana trees, or in the evening a house cocktail. We recommend the "pintchos" formula which allows you to taste all the specialities, in small portions. Fast service.

The beach club has a Tropezian atmosphere, lulled by the sound of garlands of seashells waving in the breeze. Every Sunday, the rich families of the capital and local celebrities gather in this restaurant on stilts, with a background of house music, to taste succulent fish, sushi, parilladas and seafood. We recommend the famous Boca Chica-style red mullet and paella marinera. Upstairs, there is an oyster and tapas bar and a smokehouse. Exceptional wine list (over 1,000 references). DJ on weekends.

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Las Terrenas. This beautiful Italian restaurant focuses on the sea. The vast service room is very elegant - a tribute to the three caravels aboard which Christopher Columbus and his crew discovered Hispaniola, blending tribal art and maritime frescoes - while on the plate, you'll find a fine menu that honors fish, but also offers excellent grills and other more innovative dishes like the excellent egg-coconut with sea urchin cream. Don't forget to make a reservation - it's often full!

This seaside restaurant in Miches welcomes you in a simple, friendly setting. The food is hearty and tasty: grilled fish, seafood and other Dominican dishes. All at very reasonable prices and in a family atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. A good place to enjoy a meal overlooking the sea when you're in town, and perhaps to meet the locals for a meal.

Alfredo is a kind-hearted and committed chef. Originally from Venezuela, he now lives in the Samaná region. To delight you, he offers a rare culinary adventure: a series of dishes inspired by the ingredients used in ancestral Taïnos cuisine. In this way, he sublimates the products and highlights their nutritional and gastronomic qualities, to help you discover forgotten traditions. To do this, he uses the various techniques he has acquired on his many travels around the world. A real experience!

An enchanting place, an imaginative decoration, sweet flavours served in a quiet, jovial and musical atmosphere, so many good points that make you want to go to El Babunuco to have a meal or a drink. You can reserve the dishes of your convenience that the chef will execute for you. We like the presentation of the plates and the generous quantities. To go further and stay in the Dominican atmosphere, tasting of home-made cigars for the informed amateurs. An address to visit.

It is one of the best restaurants in town, with Creole and international specialties. It also serves pizzas. If the dishes are a bit disappointing, you won't be disappointed by the good value for money. However, the welcome is very friendly and the atmosphere is convivial. We also challenge you to finish your plate. The walls of the restaurant are adorned with a beautiful mural of the region. An address where you can go at any time of the day for lunch or simply to have a coffee.

Restaurant Laurel offers a unique dining experience, brilliantly blending traditional Dominican and international cuisine. This trendy restaurant is a favorite with locals, whether for a romantic dinner, a business meeting or a meal with friends. Always full, you can enjoy delicious dishes in a sophisticated, friendly atmosphere. Dishes are prepared with fresh, local ingredients, highlighting local flavors. For gourmands and gourmets, we recommend it!

Recently taken over by a new team, the pretty Casa Coson and its restaurant are well worth a visit! If you've come here to taste a gastronomy at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and Dominican specialties (sensational fish and seafood preparations in particular), you can also enjoy some very successful pizzas. More than a restaurant, this is a trendy beach bar: from a day on the chaise longue overlooking the sea or in the whirlpool, you can enjoy themed evenings and cocktails! Perfect for a change of scenery in a quiet setting!

The Cabarete Coffee Company is the showcase of the Mariposa DR Foundation, a Cabarete-based organization fighting against poverty and promoting education and empowerment of young girls. Here, we drink a delicious coffee from local organic cultures, freshly roasted, offered hot or cold according to a dozen recipes. Also on the menu are delicious tropical smoothies and fresh fruit juices. All the profits made by the shop (including goodies) are donated to the association!

What a pleasure it is to find this real little piece of Italy in the heart of the Caribbean! We owe Bella'mbriana Al Caribe to Angelo Condemi, a native of Bari in Puglia. After having opened two "pizzeria/osteria" in Italy, he tackled the Dominican Republic in 2016, and the success is there once again. On the menu, some delicious transalpine dishes, but above all incredible pizzas topped with hand-picked ingredients and baked in a wood-fired oven. Without a doubt the best pizzeria in the area. To be discovered!

If you end up here, it might be because a local recommended the place to you! This Neapolitan pizzeria is a reference in town. It must be said that its thin dough pizzas are very digestible (this is one of the selling points of the pizzeria and experience confirms it!) made with fresh ingredients and are delicious. And they are cooked over a wood fire, which makes all the difference. The great specialty is the pizza napoletana that chef Raffaele puts in the oven under his straw hut and that you can eat on the go.

Recently opened by three Mexican sisters on the main road of Dominicus, it is a perfect address for the small hollows or the big hungers. In the first case, one or two dishes will suffice, in the second, you can easily order three or even four plates. You can find here the great classics of Mexico(tacos, burritos and ceviche in particular) and well done! The restaurant is colorful and the atmosphere is relaxed. We recommend the Taco Loco, a classic of the house!
