Cuisine Amériques - Caraïbes Santo Domingo

Ideally 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.

Here, 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.

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.

Located on the Parque Billini, this restaurant has everything it takes to charm delicate palates in search of new flavors. Time is a 100% vegetarian restaurant, using fresh, local produce of the highest quality to create delicious dishes. If you're in the mood for something refined and tasty, sit down on the restaurant's beautiful terrace and order! We also love the original cocktails and mocktails (non-alcoholic versions), such as the spinach-based Popeye!

With an unbeatable view of the Alcazar de Colon, Domenec is a pleasant restaurant where you can savor typical Dominican dishes while enjoying the ambiance of the capital. It serves fish, seafood and meat, as well as pasta and other dishes - so there's something for everyone. It's not uncommon for musicians to serenade you in Dominican style during your meal - a small coin in exchange is welcome. Service is fast and pleasant, and the retro decor of the terrace adds to the charm of the place.

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.
