Amazing resorts and restaurants of the Dominican Republic

This small town with an extensive coastline and white-sanded beaches is almost entirely built up by low five-star hotels. Some Punta Cana restaurants are situated at hotels, offering guests a dinner according to the A-la-Carte system. One of the best places for an evening break is the restaurant Pastrata.

It’s the best place for trying authentic Mexican food. Seafood dishes are quite wide and diverse. You can taste fish tacos, coconut shrimps, and a terrific lemon pie. To all guests, the personalized service of Chef Hernan and the excellent service of his waiters is a very pleasant experience.

Cap Cana is located near Punta Cana and it is a place for those who want to choose a new, prestigious and most expensive resort. Luxury villas with private territory and pools, golf courses, luxury yachts and restaurants – all this is about Cap Cana.

One of the best restaurants in the area is the Little John restaurant. It has a great menu with very accessible prices including wine. The food portions are large and, usually, on Sundays, they have live music. But the best thing is the view of the Juanillo beach. Here you can taste perfectly cooked fried fish and calamari.

Shish Kabab is an Asian restaurant where chefs can cook kebabs in dozens of different ways. In fact, the whole secret of cooking kebabs is in their seasonings. Parsley, garlic, sesame, all kinds of sauces – these small but very important details make dishes unique. The owner of Shish Kabab from the very first day has been taking photos of satisfied guests from around the world who dined here.These photos decorate the walls of the restaurant now. 

The beaches here are not as wide as in Punta Cana but they are also snow-white. Only the coral reef comes very close to the shore. For small kids, you need to constantly look around. It’s a great place for lovers of water sports: windsurfing, sailing, water skiing.

The restaurant Boca Marina almost hangs over the sea surface, on the pier, on the beach of Boca Chica. You are offered to eat yummy pescado, prawns and fantastic seafood paella.

El Meson is a cozy restaurant with a large variety of menus, including traditional Mediterranean cuisine and a large selection of seafood. Delicious paella, appetizing chicken in a fragrant sauce and much more – you won't be able to resist these dishes. Sometimes in the evenings, the restaurant has live music that creates a romantic atmosphere.

The best of the wild Atlantic sandy beaches stretches for 120 km. In the very town of Puerto Plata, you can spend your time looking at the church, where the first mass in the American continent was held, visiting the local Amber Museum, and one of the best restaurants in this area.

The most famous restaurant in Puerto Plata Le Papillon is located among the royal green palm trees of the provincial beach. The ambitious chef Thomas knows everything about international cuisine.

Here you’ll find great fillet pepper steaks with fino sherry for a great dinner.

In this part of paradise, young people with boards conquer the wave in the daytime and spend time in bars and discos in the evening. Here, it is equally simple to find great friends and meet one’s destiny.

Gordito's Fresh Mex is a good restaurant of Mexican cuisine with very attractive prices. You should try the grilled fish, a variety of burritos and nachos, delicious fish tacos, as well as the special spicy sauce of Joe, the local chef, who keeps his recipe under lock and key.
