D’Luis Parrillada

This casual, open-air restaurant perched over the ocean (and unfortunately the oft-polluted Playa Montesinos) just a few blocks from the Zona Colonial is one of only a few restaurants to take advantage of the Malecón's setting. The large menu includes fajitas, grilled and barbecue meats, sandwiches, seafood and little-found pulpofongo (mashed plantains with Creole-style cuttlefish; RD$330). Wonderful place for a drink as well.
