Sosúa
The widest choice on the coast — from casual beach bars to intimate gourmet dining
Jolly Roger
A firm favourite with expats and Canadians alike. Great meals at great prices in a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere. One of the most consistently popular spots on the Pedro Clisante strip.
Check Point
On your way down to the beach? Don't miss this neat, friendly little bar and snack bar tucked into the side street pathway. Very popular with locals and visitors — a perfect pit stop before or after the sand.
The Waterfront
Located at the end of Calle Dr. Rosen, overlooking the bay toward Mount Isabella and Puerto Plata. Superb views and an excellent venue for happy hour and sunsets — a top spot in Sosúa to end an evening.
Dolci e Sapori
A lovely spot along Pedro Clisante for incredible cakes, pastries, and a wide breakfast menu. Returns visitors again and again. Also open for evening dining — a great all-day option.
Casa 21 (Veintiuno)
A special and intimate boutique hotel restaurant at the east end of Sosúa. High quality gourmet dining and attentive service at a surprisingly reasonable price. Busy in peak season — reserve ahead.
Diners Club
Up Calle Llibre in Residencial Hispaniola at the east end of Sosúa. A lovely setting with great views. Live entertainment on Saturday evenings in peak season. One bonus: taxes are already included in the prices.
The Beach Club — Sea Horse Ranch
A beautiful restaurant inside the Sea Horse Ranch private oceanfront development. Gourmet menu, stunning setting, ideal for sunset dining or a long lunch. Reserve in peak season — it fills up fast.
Fine Dining
Restaurant Maria
Tucked inside Sosúa Ocean Village, Restaurant Maria pairs elegant oceanfront dining with really excellent food — Mexican and international dishes served on a terrace looking out over the Atlantic and Mount Isabella. There's an infinity pool and jacuzzi on site too, so it's as much a relaxed afternoon spot as a dinner destination.
Beach Restaurant
Natura Cabana
Ten minutes west of Sosúa at Perla Marina, right on the beach under the palms. A beautiful setting for lunch or evening dining. Go for sunset — you'll leave with memories that stay with you.
Osteria Toscana
Authentic Italian at the east end of Pedro Clisante towards the beach — brick-oven pizza, house-made pasta, and fresh seafood on a quaint patio with old-world charm. Consistently pulls some of the best reviews in Sosúa. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. No website — booked and reviewed through TripAdvisor.
Nelson's Lounge Bistro
Just east of central Sosúa, opposite Las Sirena Supermarket. A wide menu and great pizzas — they deliver too. A genuine family favourite: there's a supervised children's climbing frame and play area, so parents can eat while the kids burn off energy.
Hard Rock Cafe Sosúa
Sosúa's newest arrival, just off the east end of Pedro Clisante in El Batey. A two-storey, 270-seat space with the full Hard Rock treatment — big screens, live music and sports, and a lively bar scene. Walking distance to two of the north coast's best beaches.
