San Felipe de Puerto Plata Restaurant Tips by marielexoteria

Restaurant Name: Jamvis restaurant

We found this place while walking down the Malecón. It's not a pretentious place with good food. We ordered a starter of garlic bread, one grilled beef with fries and salad and one small ham and cheese pizza, with a small Presidente beer and a small Coca Cola and all that cost us 745 pesos (around 22US).

When you read the menu it says in small (but readable) print that the prices printed don't include taxes and service fees which for now are 26%: 16% tax and 10% legal fee (a nice name for tip).

Directions: We turned right on the intersection of c/José del Carmen Ariza and El Malecón. I believe we didn't walk more than 3 blocks.

Restaurant Name: Sam's Bar & Grill

Sam's Bar is on the ground floor of Hotel Castilla and where you have your breakfast if you stay with them and get the rate that includes it. The breakfast included in the rate is toast with butter, potatoes and eggs and coffee and I found it of good value. Otherwise they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and they have a menu with international dishes. I think their prices are OK considering that you get big portions.

Expats living in Puerto Plata consider Sam's Bar as their hangout and even those visiting the city as well. It's a small place but I found it cozy and full of life when there were people eating and drinking :-)
