Fogarate Malecón 517. Some of the best Dominican food in the city, doled out in a fun atmosphere full of multi-coloured thatched roofs. Try the traditional asopao rice with chicken dish served in a battered tin bowl.

Vesuvio Malecón 521. Most renowned restaurant in the city, deservedly so for its vast array of delicious, if expensive, pastas. Next door they have a more downscale dining room for pizza, sandwiches and crepes.
