Hello,

I am looking for a great place to get a great steak. I don't mean a steak that is a food distributor like we get in
The US. I mean a small restaurant that is known for great food and maybe in a smaller town or not well know. I can speak and understand spanish quite good. I will be in Santiago, San Francisco and Puerto Plata for 3 weeks on business. I don't mind driving out of the way for a great place to eat.

If someone can help me out I would appreciate o
It.

There is a real nice place in Cabrera (about an hour north of Puerto Plata) called Babanoocos (Spelled phonetically). Rustic feel and great food.

Absolutely without question, the best steak I've had in the DR -- Le Papillon Restaurant near Cofresi. Owner Thomas Ackermann, 809-970-7640. Closed Mondays, Opens at 6 pm, I believe.

Someone will be able to help you, I am sure. But coming to the DR for steak is like going to Kansas for oysters.

Papillon has very good beef and you should enjoy yourself there. I have not been there this year but have taken friends in the past and everyone enjoyed their meal.

a great steak in the DR is a chicken with teeth. The climate here is too hot. Grass fed beef in the DR is "utility beef". Stringy and tough. Only option is imported and then its frozen and really old. The DR has good chicken, beans and beautiful women. Focus on what is available.
