Where to Eat in Punta Cana: The Best Restaurants and Bars

January 2, 2018 Malia Yoakum

Among the best golf destinations in the world, Punta Cana is the very picture of leisure. Several of the courses have been designed by professional golfers, making for the perfect sort of kicked-back challenge that you want on a golfing vacation. The beaches here are simply perfect: calm, warm waters that gently lap at stretches of fine white sand. Thrill yourself with a zip-line adventure, clap along with traditional Dominican music at a cultural performance, or explore the magical lagoons of the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park.

Reviewed By Harry A - London, United Kingdom

This restaurant is a joke. If you are used to michelin star quality then don't even push the door to get there. Food is so bad and so far from any capital standard that you feel uncomfortable for the chef. Gordon Ramsey should get there asap to fix it all but my advise is don't even go there if you expect something better than a school meal

Passion by Martin Berasategui at Paradisus Palma Real

Fine dining restaurant by Martin Berasategui, World-renowned Chef, winner of 8 Michelin stars and 17 AAA Diamonds.

Reviewed By Williamrush - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This restaurant is within the all inclusive Paradisus resort. So you can eat here all week in terrific restaurants with no additional charge. So why spend $180-360 for this dinner? Because you will experience a Michelin star experience for much less than any other place In the world. $180 for the tasting menu for two and $360 if both of you have the wine paring.
Get ready to slow down and enjoy 8-10 delicious courses. You won’t do this everyday so relax and enjoy a 3 hour experience you will never forget. The service was near perfect. The servers were wonderful. The food was amazing in every bite. Christina Olivera was our main server. Victoria Jimenez was her able assistant and Mariene Aguilar was the sommelier. Each was an expert but more Importantly, they were friendly and welcoming. They explained each course and the wine and it added so much to the wonderful food and overall experience.
Each bite was so delicious. Each interaction so pleasant. Don’t miss the opportunity to eat food you will never forget.

I was not really impressed with this restaurant as no one spoke English and it was really hard to find out things about the food on the menu. Later the owner arrived and we were able to get a cocktail as there was no bartender...MoreThank you very much for the Review we appreciate all information we implement new staff to serve you much better.
