Here is a list of some of our favorites:

The Swiss steak House:  Run by Christoff, this is a staple for many who live here.  Possibly the best steak in town, the pork chop, chicken, cheeseburger and fish are all not to be missed.  You can eat easily for $400 RD including a couple drinks.  It’s right at the entrance to Cayhon, on the east side beside Bliss.

Jose Luis Chicken: Another cheap option, bbq chicken with yucca and a home made marinade that is fantastic.  You can get a 1/4 chicken meal for $RD 75 or a whole chicken for $250.  Right on the main road across from Ocean Dream.

Tuesday night Tacos: All you can eat Tacos for $250 RD, in a cool location outside of town.  Best to order your drinks after happy hour starts because they can be expensive.  In Cabarete East, about 5 min east of Cabarete.

Cafe Pitu: Also a tuesday night special, they offer 2 for 1 pizza.  Juan Marco, a local pro kitesurfer, works behind the bar and is great entertainment.  They also have a decent vegetarian options.  Right on the Cabarete beach, about 2 min walk east of the main drag.  $300 RD/person

The German Bayherserhoff: Not exactly healthy, but sure takes good.  Specialties include authentic German sausage, schnitzel and potato pancakes.  A little hidden, on a poorly lit street just west of the entrance of Cayhon, across from Ocean Dream.  $500 RD/person

Clairo: Hands down the best breakfast in town, and a fantastic lunch option as well. The weekly specials are amazing.  Try the chocolate Zuccini cake! $300 RD/person.

Ocean Dream Sushi: Authentic sushi prepared by a Japanese chef.  What else can we say? $500 RD/person

LAX: The food is OK, the vibe is great.  This is the ‘cool place’ that everyone hangs out when in town.  The pizza’s are good, and the Thai night is worth visiting.  Ask for the specials on drinks.  $500RD + / person

Bliss:  Right next to the Swiss steak house, at the entrance to Cayhon is this little gem.  French inspired and very well presented, you’ll think you’re in the south of France sipping wine beside their pool.  The whole menu is great.  $1000 RD/person.

Otra Cosas: Right on the beach in a secluded spot at the east end of Cabarete bay, across the street from Velero is this romantic hidden gem.  Possibly the cleanest kitchen in the DR, the french dishes and wine selections are absolutely amazing. From $1200 RD/person, but totally worth it.

Naturas Cabanas: Inside Perla Marina, with a little spa on a secluded private beach is the Chilean restaurant serving fantastic sea food.  The whole menu is great, especially the pistacio crusted tuna steak. From $800 RD/person

Blue Moon Retreat:  A great meal and a fun time.  Eat with your hands, Carribbean Indian, all you can eat and fantastic views.  Definatly worth the ride.  Must book in advance, groups of 8 or more.  On the road to Moca, just pas Los Brasos. $800/person

Castle Club: A great evening in a gorgeous house with a lovely couple.  Kind of like going to your parents place for dinner, and your parents love to have a good time.   Must book in advance, options for dinner, groups of 8 or more. $1000/person

If you are active, then Cabarete is an action sports wet dream.  World class everything is right here. Surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, skateboarding and tow in surfing are all practiced in Cabarete.  Every year the Master of the Ocean competition, brings all disciplines together.

For the art lover, stroll through the Haitian and Dominican art and craft stalls in town, or take a trip to where they make it all, a short trip over to Puerto Plata.
