Best Restaurants in Santo Domingo

[bigbird]

mountainannie...you lived in Gazcue, i believe...

ever been to Hermanos Villar? not a gourmet place, but great for a quick breakfast

hahahaha, mountainannie knows that place blindfolded. Actually Villar Hnos should not even be mentioned in a thread about Best Restaurants in Santo Domingo. Villar Hnos and best restaurant should also not be used in the same sentence.

notice where i said it is not a gourmet place...maybe not even should be called a restaurant. however, whenever i have to go to SantoDomingo to look for a car, i get some great breakfasts there, with great coffee. who does not want mashed potatoes, fried eggs, and bacalao for breakfast..

you old snob, you.

Been so long since I've gone to Acropolis I didn't even know there was a Tony Roma's there.

Used to, but closed some years ago. It was downstairs on Calle andres julio aybar street. A bit hidden. The new place, Okra, made a big entrance, can’t miss it now if you pass by.

Lincoln Roads should at least get a mention for their RIBS!

- Time
- Shibuya
- Pate Palo
- Laurel

Cheaper eats :

Have you been to these, and do you agree with the list?

Been to several on the list and they are very good, but all are expensive. Would like to see a list of good moderately priced eating eastablishments. Here are a few that we discovered and like.

Il Scarpeta - Italian in Piantini

El Buho Cafe - Zona Colonial

Tipical Bonao - Bonao

Il Scarpeta was one o5 my favorite restaurant in SD 2- 3years ago, when the previous owner sold/moved it wasn't the same at all in my opinion!

Sarasota is the only remaining tony roma’s I guess. That was the origina location. Had beef ribs for brief time. Love beef ribs.
Then malecon center came and went. Santiago opened and closed, pretty sure there was one in punta cana for a while and acropolis was the last to come and go. Coincidentally the guy that manages hooters in acropolis was a bartender at the original tony roma’s on sarasota back in 2002.

Have not been to new Don Nestor in plaza espana yet. They used to be very good on lope de vega.

I went to Okra last night and must say it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had in DR. Places like SBG and Pat’e palo never fail but Okra is definitely up there and better priced.
