The hedonistic atmosphere at this chic beach house is a fantasy world away from the day-to-day realities of the city. The scene is mostly urbane capitaleños worshiping the sun in contemporary comfort while a handsome staff anticipates basic needs such as fresh towels for bathers emerging from the sea and replenishment of empty drinks with names [...]
This otherwise unremarkable restaurant is the place to go for lunch or dinner in this laid-back fishing village. Señora Bartolina d’Oleo, the proprietor, turns out delightful fish and seafood meals such as conch (called lambi locally) smothered in one of three sauces: a tomato-based creole, vinegar, or creamy garlic ajillo sauce. Locals feast on the chewy [...]
The largely seafood menu is secondary to the primary reason people come to here; the theatre-sized beer and dance hall situated just behind the restaurant is the real draw. The bow-tied gentleman greeting customers at the door gives the impression this is an upscale establishment, but Costa Sur is actually a very casual place to enjoy [...]
Located in the southwest region on the Dominican Republic, La Rocca features plenty of fish and seafood, most of which is served in a tomato-based or garlic sauce. Checkered tablecloths set with artificial flowers create a cheery atmosphere.
Basic fresh fish and seafood meals are served under a circular thatched roof canopy inside the courtyard of this family-run restaurant.

But the El Bambú Restaurant and El Laurel Snack Bar see less commotion and are pleasant places to enjoy lunch and dinner. Both look over the river, the sound of rushing water providing soothing background noise. A sizeable [...]

There was a time when Atlantis was the only restaurant on Playa Bonita where one could enjoy a decent meal. Much has changed on this tranquil strip, with options for dining expanding slightly; but Atlantis still remains one of the best choices. As with so many chefs in the area, Gerard Pyrstasz relies on whatever is [...]
Méson de Bari built its stellar culinary reputation on a matriarch's recipes handed down through generations; some of her descendants now manage the business. The restaurant is among only a handful in the colonial sector to offer local cuisine in an elegant setting, and the food is exceptionally good. Although much is made of the cangrejo [...]
