Don Felix - Jarabacoa

Excellent food (the quantity was sufficient, but didn't allow for¡overeating). Awesome view of the Jarabacoa Valley floor. Prices aren't expensive. They need to amplify their postage-stamp sized parking lot.

Second year stopping at Don Felix while escaping the heat of summer in Jarabacoa for a few days. It's one of those places that is more than the sum of it's parts, and the parts are all good. Lovely motorcycle ride up from town, amazing view, very cool atmosphere, good food and friendly attentive service. A favorite place.

Our favorite bar near cabarete. Super nice bartender with a beautiful view. They have chairs for about 10 people looking out over the mountains and the town. Spend an afternoon drinking beer and enjoying the peace

Most visitors to DR understandably stick close the the resorts along the coast but if you're adventurous then rent a car (it'll be alright, I promise and head to the interior of Jarabacoa. Milder climate, and forested, you forget you're in the Caribbean. And when you're there, find places like Don Felix. I ate with confidence; the food was freshly prepared and properly cooked. BBQ ribs were a decent, if unexpected, option but it's the view with some bottles of Presidente cerveza that make for a pleasant stop. And on your way back down the mountain, don't miss buying some Arepa (sold by weight i.e. 1/2 lb, etc. a kind of cornbread, for your drive back. Just pull up to one of the numerous stands along the roadway, order-buy-and go.

Very beautiful view, excellent service and exquisite food. Service: Dine in
