The Dominican Republic offers a unique culinary experience for visitors. The local cuisine is influenced by African, Spanish and Taino cultures, offering an interesting mix of flavors. Staple dishes include the « plato del día » (dish of the day), which consists of a protein, rice, beans and salad.

Another must-try is « mangu », a green banana puree served with onions and eggs. Seafood is also very popular, especially red fish and lobster. Typical Dominican dishes include « Sancocho », a soup made with meat, vegetables and plantains, and « Mondongo », a stew made with beef tripe.

Traditional sweets include « Dulce de Leche », a milk caramel, and « Tres Leches », a cake made from three types of milk. Typical drinks include « Mamajuana », a mixture of rum, red wine and herbs, and « Morir Soñando », a milky drink made from orange juice and milk. The Dominican Republic thus offers a unique gastronomy rich in Caribbean flavors, not to be missed on a visit to the country.
