We had a chance to have a very special dining experience at Aromas de la Monta?as a few weeks ago, one that was filmed for a project we're doing. Frank12 took some pics.
We gave the owner of Jamaca de Dios a request to serve what they do best. They brought platter after platter, and we all got to sample it all. It was an amazing experience, the best we've had in the DR by far.
Unfortunately, that evening the mountain was enshrouded in clouds, so we couldn't get any shots of Jarabacoa at night, one of the purposes of our visit.
The upstairs dining room:
The awesome fire table, fantastic for a cold evening:
Our welcome drink, an incredible mix of Midori, fresh Chinola, and a fresh strawberry:
Fried platano strips with an amazing bruschetta:
Fried coconut shrimp in Chinola shell (prolly where the fruit came from in our welcome cocktail). I remember the cocktail sause as being an interesting papaya base:
Not 100% sure all in this, but it's eggplant, onion, cheese and cukes all sauteed in a yummy balsamic vinegar base:
Amazing churrasco and salmon were also served, as well as some other dishes I forgot and of which we didn't get photos. Too busy chewing and pouncing on food before someone else did.
Food sharing requires concentration:
Some scruffy hitchhiker and the house kitten:
Incredible coconut desert:

Hitchhikers, gremlins, beggars, spooks, wifely-babes and hooligans:
Always room for more:
HIGHLY recommended!
