Punta Cana Restaurants and Food
Learn some facts about eating in Punta Cana
Most Punta Cana
restaurants offer an incredible amount of
delicious food.
For any vacation to be really successful many elements are
needed, and one of them is good food. I don’t know for other people but for me to
feel good in a place it must have a tasteful and a good variety of food. If a
place with good meals and a lot fun is what you are looking for, Punta Cana is
the perfect place for you.
The first thing you must know is that there probably will
be many places to eat in
the resort you pick. One or 2 of them will have the
buffet type restaurant. In this type is where you will get mainly your meals
like breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Like in most buffets there will be many areas
where you can choose the food you want. Sometimes there will be a line in
certain areas to get the food but since the buffet area is so big, most people
will be scattered all over the place, so you won’t wait for long.
In breakfast you can expect to see some fruit plates,
bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes among many other delicacies. For lunch and dinner
some of the typical meals can consist burgers, pizza, fries, soups, salads, rice,
chicken, beans and more. Other popular dishes that you will see in this type of
restaurants can be the “mangu” which consist of a mix of plantains, cheese and
bacon. Another famous plate is the classical meal “la bandera dominicana” which
consists of rice, beans,
vegetables, meat and
plantains. There is also the “sancocho”
made of rice, plantains,
avocado and some meat.
The “mangu” is a plate typical for breakfast while the “la bandera dominicana” and “sancocho” fit more
in lunch and dinner menus. Now, if you
are not too much into the typical plates or simply want something different
there is always the a la carte restaurants.
These type of Punta Cana restaurants target normally a country type of
food. For example you can find : Italian, French, Brazilian, Japanese, Chinese,
Mexican or Argentine food. Most resorts will have 3, 4, 5 or more of this type
of restaurants so the choices will be there. One thing you must remember is that
for this type of restaurant you must make a reservation, preferably the first
day you arrive to the resort.
The restaurants mentioned earlier are located inside the resort
area. Now if you decide to try something else or want to eat after some shopping,
there is always some good restaurant places in the Punta Cana area outside the
resort. The Jellyfish restaurant, the
Captain cook’s restaurant and
Langosta del caribe are among the most delightful ones.
This restaurants specialize in seafood and some chicken can
be found too. A meal in those restaurants can cost around
US $20.00 to US $35.00
dollars but
the taste is definitely worth it.
Now, if you are eating outside the resort remember to carry
some cash always as some restaurants might not accept credit cards. For the
drinks the local favorite is the the
Presidente beer. There is another beer
called Soberana which is not as good as the Presidente one but if anyone want to
try it they are more than welcomed. Also is very likely that the Punta Cana restaurants
will have available any drink you might like, so feel free to order.
