Cabarete Restaurants

I feel bad that I have not commented before now since I live here in Cabarete on my favorite restaurant. You enter into a very clean hof brau style eating area where the menu is extensive with a seperate menu for their specials that changes every week. The kitchen is completly in the open and is spotless.

Favorite Dish: They serve a pork fillet with onion and mushroom sauce, half and half that covers your large plate. You have the option of sauteed or mashed potatoes or a German noodle. It is a challenge to eat it all. That is my favorite but I try not to order it very time I go or I would get fat. When he has it on special I have the Hungarian stew with red cabbage. The best part beside the good taste is the excellent price. $12 for the port fillet and $7.50 for the stew.

The best place we visited in Cabarete and everywhere was good! Fine dining on the beach on big sofa cushions. Great service from Angelo and his team of highly attentive staff.

Favorite Dish: Chateaubriand with mashed potato, fillet mignon with rice, the meat just melts in your mouth and the sauces are something to die for!

Cant understand previous negative reviews, this was a great all rounder, we tried loads of staff including burgers, cottage pie, pizza and steaks, all were great. If you fancy a bit of a break from Calypso/Caribbean music the stuff they play in there is also great, I could have sat all afternoon with a beer listening to Lynnard Skynnard, The Eagles, Led Zep and Rod Stewart! Very laid back, good for sports too if you have to have your Premiership fix.

Favorite Dish: All of it was great.

This is the only place I enjoyed a fresh meal in Cabarete. If you've been to Cabarete more than once, you'll know that the amount of good restaurants is very limited. Last time I went I finally found a place where I became a regular. You can tell that the food at this place is fresher than any other place in Cabarete and at low prices. Best of all for me is that the restaurant/hotel staff speaks English, German, Dutch, French, etc.

Favorite Dish: Try any of the salads or fish dishes. Very hard not to get sick in Cabarete from salad or fish but here the food is right on point.

This restaraunt has a large menu and is very enjoyable. They are putting on Taco Tuesday with an all you can eat taco bar, and we're hearing rumors of a Wing Night to be starting.
Happy hour is from 4 to 6 pm nightly.

Favorite Dish: Jalapeno poppers, fish and chips, and the ground steak burger.
They also have great pork chops and fresh fish steak.

Good place for a burger....especially after eating beans and rice the entire week. Great drinks and good live music every night.

Favorite Dish: You have to try the Natural Pina Colada (made with fresh pineapple) and Coco Loco (served in a coconut).

With service this bad, the food has to be very good to make up for it. Needless to say, the food wasn't even close at this restaurant on beach.

We had to pay by credit card in order to conserve our last pesos for the cab to the airport. The menu listed several credit cards that they accept, and we confirmed this with the man that turned out to be one of the owners. Unfortunately, when we gave them our credit card to pay, the waiter came back with the line, 'eet no work.' My girlfriend asked him in Spanish what the problem was and he responded, 'eet no work.' After several rounds of the 'eet no work' game, I began to wonder if our waiter even spoke Spanish, or if he had been trained to do this. We then asked to speak to the owner or manager.

The owner came over to our table and very graciously (lying through his teeth) explained that their card reader wasn't working. Well, that's easy, I say, punch in the number. No, now it's that the little box doesn't work. Again, no problem, I say, just call the number on the back of the card. No, they can't afford international calls. Oh, did I mention it's a toll-free number? No, now they don't even have a working phone line. Well, which is it, the card reader, the box(modem thingy), or the phone line. All of them, he says. This was really unbelievable. If you're wondering why they wouldn't want me to use a credit card see my post on credit cards and sales tax.

Well, at this point, we were almost ready to just walk away, screw them. The people at the table next to us offered to distract the owner. In the end, we decided not to risk incarceration and we paid the bill in cash, forcing another trip to the ATM and its nasty charges.

Oh, did I mention they got my order wrong? I ordered chicken napolitano over linguine, but they served me spaghetti with a plain tomato sauce, no chicken. What did I see the owner eating as I waited for the right dish? You guessed it, the same dish I ordered. That's a not a coincidence because it's not on the menu! Bastard!

when i asked what local food was like, i was told it was mostly rice and beans. three of us went here. it was the only 'local' place i noticed on this touristy strip of town. we ordered from the counter, they brought us the food. i can't remember what prices were on the menus, but their certainly were not prices up on the boards. i think the prices depended on who you were. i honestly don't remember what i paid.

Favorite Dish: i got the garlic shrimp. i wouldn't suggest it though. they really cook the shrimp well done here, and at all the other places we had shrimp. but the rice and beans was good. some cabbage side salad was good. this is where a local interrupted my eating to tell me to sprinkle salt on my plantain. we liked the food. i recommend giving it a try.
