Food

Santo Domingo [1] has an impressive array of historical sites, accommodation choices, and activities to keep you busy. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that the city has a bewildering array of restaurant choices as well. It is an epicure’s paradise, with choices like Italian favorites, pub food, and French cuisine to seafood, Caribbean fusion, and sushi.

If you’re searching for a restaurant serving local cuisine, check the menu (typically posted outside of the front door or in the window of the establishment) for the words comida criolla and for dishes like mofongo (a plantain dish), arroz con pollo (rice and chicken), or any kind of meat served guisado (in a stew-like sauce).
