- The 5 best restaurants we found in Santo Domingo. Here's your ultimate guide on where to eat in Santo Domingo. It's no secret that I'm a big-time foodie; I love eating around the world. On this solo trip I took to Santo Domingo (the capital of the Dominican Republic,) I made sure to add a handful of restaurants to explore in La Zona Colonial and Santo Domingo in general. Exploring the culinary scene was missing from our last trip to Santo Domingo due to covid restrictions, so this time I made sure to indulge in the best fine dining Santo Domingo has to offer!

I believe in finding your tribe, so I'm constantly adapting to change, growing, and evolving. Being multiracial, bilingual, traveling the world, and living in the melting pot that NYC is, my goal is to inspire women minorities everywhere to never settle and always follow their dreams.

Great, now I’m starving
Lol 😂
Great content! I love Maraca!!
@@musicklovah thank you! It's such a great spot!
We loved the video thanks 🥰
Thanks for watching!
Maraca is amazing.. ill have to try la Cava for sure on my next trip to SDQ
Yes! Eating inside a cave in the city was a neat experience :)
The service fee is the tip! We only tip more if we particularly like the service. Dominican servers don’t depend on tips for their livelihood. Good if you tip over it, but no need to. Source: I’m Dominican, the 18% tip charge policy is also in the Dominican code of labor.
I’m Dominican too and have family there. The restaurant stays with the service fee, it’s not passed down to the servers. I asked a handful of them at several restaurants on different trips I’ve made.
@@WheretoNau Then that should be dealt with between the restaurant and the employers, or soon the DR will be like the US, that servers don’t have a real salary and depend 100% on tips, which makes tips outrageous. Servers still get their full salary in the DR. Let’s try to keep our country the way it is; tourists can pay large tips, but not all locals can. That’s how inflation happens.
Minúte 1:30 is the fly a special guest ?
notice top left quadrant landing by the soy sauce
Hart Rock Cafe 👍👍
El primer rest que fuiste cual fue todo bello ❤😅
Hola! El primero fue Lila Modern Cuisine.
Pregunta, hay que hacer reservaciones para alguno de estos restaurantes?
Es recomendable para que tengan una mesa con seguridad.
Than you I was looking for birthday dinner for my spouse
Which restaurant did you choose? 🤩
Who paid for 100 usd DR dinner?
Coco nibs
Yes!!!
Service fee’s are a rip off
The bad part is that it doesn’t go to the waiters yet most tourists think it’s a tip to your server.
In your opinion, what is the top 3 romantic restaurants in Santo Domingo, to impress a woman?
Take her to Maraca for sure! It's trendy, with great cocktails and inventive cuisine. If you're looking for somewhere romantic, then I would choose El Meson de la Cava. El Meson is intimate in an underground cave setting with a candlelight-lit dinner.
@@WheretoNau yes something very intimate and mind blowing 🥰🥰 thank you so much.
Is there any nearby places to buy flowers also? I pray that it is 🙏🙏
@@vlogaftervlogtv7660 I’m not sure; you might have to google a florist in the area. El Meson de la Cava is not located near shops, but Maraca is right in the heart of La Zona Colonial, so it might be easier to find a street vendor there.
Good Luck!! And after you dine there, let me know how it went and if she liked the spot :)
@@WheretoNau ok will do. And thanks so much, your awesome ❤️
