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.

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.Jellyfish restaurant

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.
