    Situated directly along the shore overlooking the beautiful bay of Boca Chica, this is probably the most famous restaurant in Boca Chica. Well known for fabulous seafood, many Dominicans travel an hour from Santo Domingo to enjoy this romantic dinner spot. It is also a popular lunch spot on weekends. Reservations are recommended.

    we'll im not a fan of seafood... i suggest some Cordon Blue Chicken! :D

    At Cayo Levantado you will find wide range of sea food mainly.
    But it doesn't mean you can't get for example grilled chicken...
    There are many outdoor restaurants at the back of the beaches that offer a really good and fresh meals...

    I recommend a light snack of lambi with lime sauce and grilled fish or lobster. Very tasty :)

    We did not have the opportunity to eat at this trendy-looking, little restaurant. It was too early in the day for much to be happening with the restaurant as I'm sure it did not serve breakfast. But it could be considered an option for a nice lunch along with the several other restaurants in Plaza Portofino of La Marina, such as Caribbean Coffee & Tea, Limoncello, etc.

    First of all, the food beeing offered at most, if not all hotel's restaurants, villas and such, it's not the actual "Criolla" food eaten by mainstream dominicans, for a tourist to sample the actual taste and flavor of the island, you'll need to avoid such places and eat at local restaurants, wich can be easy to spot, since you won't see many others than locals there, second forget everything you had been told about what not to do(concerning eating in other places other than your all-inclusive or hotel issued) and get ready to surprise your mouth with rich and textured food that will make your tongue twist in pain(since there's so much you can eat and taste), the "comida criolla dominicana" it's by far so much of a mixture of international and culture's meltings that one can not begin to explain it's tastes, for example: the most common mistake tourists have is of having eaten the "Sancocho" at the resorts and classy restaurants, these are very far from the actual thing, the local Sancocho is made on a single pot, over a low and yet intense charcoal fire on an "Anafe" that's a very extensively used and rudimentary iron range-like thing which uses charcoal, the pot is covered with large plantains leafs that seal the aromas of the boiling meat in the pot, all the meat used in these Sancochos has just been gotten fresh as in just cut-up in the local 'matadero"(meatmarket), this applies as well to the vegetables, making a Sancocho it's more of a social happening than a culinary one, and you can't have a sancocho without "Aguacates"(Avocados), or "Casabe"(Cassava).
    If you really want to taste the real Macoy, then by all means go to the local spots, and have some "Butifarras, Longanizas, Tipiles, Niños Envueltos, Pastelon de Platanos Maduros, Pipian de Chivo, Mondongo, Mofongo, Locrio de Pollo, Carne Mechada, Tripas Viejas, Pasteles de Platanos en Hojas, Arroz con Pollo, Pimientos Rellenos, Carne Frita Salada, Pastelitos de Yuca, Empanadas, Boffe, Chicharron de Puerco, etc. Don't forget Una Presidente "Ceniza"

    Its patio, facing a popular intersection, is the closest thing to a European side walk cafe in town. Inside, where occasional live entertainment is an important attraction, is a high-ceilinged, double-decked and stylish space filled with touches of neo-victorian gingerbread, upholstered banquettes, and wicker furniture. Don't overlook the possibility of a sun-washed drink or cup of afternoon tea in this establishment's courtyard where lunch is served between 11:30am and 5:30pm, dinner is on from 6:00 to 11:30pm daily.
    Imported pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and light meals at lunch cost from RD$45.00 (US$3.90), while full dinners go from RD$90.00 (US$7.90). Menu specialties include charcoal- grilled lobster, seafood platters. All ingredients are Dominican with lots of locally caught fish, lobster, large shrimps, and langoustines. New York style pizzas are featured.

    Excellent paella stuffed with lobster and shrimps. The Surf & Turf here is an absolute winner. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing, all in a tropical ambience. All meats are U.S.D.A. and seafood is specially selected and purchased fresh by the owner to ensure consistency.

  • A criolla kitchen - Dominican Republic
    A criolla kitchen
    by melosh
    Although there is some variation between different countries, the general meaning of 'criolla' is people of European ancestry born in the Americas. When used in reference to food it means food of the colonia times often combining native ingredients with the style of European kitchens and foods introduced from outside the Americas.
    This is generally a solid "meat and potatoes" type of meal but with beans and rice. The term is not applied to pastas or other foods of a purer European origin or Asian origin.

    Pork, beef or fish ala criolla. You can expect a red tomato based "sauce" kind of like 'pico de gallo' of Mexico.
