I have eaten French onion soup in Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, and various other cities in Canada and the US, but I have recently discovered a place in Sosua that has as good a French onion soup as any I've ever tasted.
I ordered French onion soup at Rocky's each of the past 5 evenings. I know, I know, that sounds a tad obsessive, but I wanted ensure I hadn't experienced a fluke. Five times is fairly conclusive evidence that I had not. This is the real, and consistent, deal.
After making a meal out of Rocky's onion soup the past 5 evenings, I have concluded that theirs is one of the best onion soups on the north coast of the DR, and indeed perhaps in this hemisphere, although I make no claims as to any onion soups "across the pond" since I have never tried any 'over there'.
Rocky's onion soup costs 130 pesos, which is a bargain in it's own right, but the price is just the icing on the cake, as it were. The onion stock is superb, the bread and the cheese is excellent, and the presentation is as good as any I've seen.
On top of that, the size is sufficient for a complete meal, although a friend of mine topped it off with a club sandwich, I found that completely unnecessary.
In my opinion, Rick has certainly outdone himself with this wonderful addition to his menu.
Well done!!
