Established in the early 1970s, when the Dominican Republic was barely a blip on the tourist radar, this delightful restaurant is way ahead of the pack when it comes to providing a stylish ambiance and great food. 

Under an enormous palm frond canopy is an elegant open-air dining area. A single pillow-covered settee runs the perimeter of a low wall that affords views of touristy Sosúa’s bustling streets.

On any given day you can expect fresh fish and lobster, steak and pork entrées, as well as a popular Valencian paella.  Morua Mai is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
