Castle Club
Just 200m past the Blue Moon on your left is this rambling, eccentric home – a castle of sorts, under continuous construction (and unlikely ever to be fully finished). The owners grow much of their own food on the property, and serve this superfresh produce in their restaurant, one of the very best in the country. Expect dishes like coconut sea bass, exquisite salads and cold lemon soufflé. Their schedule can be erratic, though – book at least two days in advance. They can cater for groups from six to 100.

Casanova
This Asian-decorated restaurant has Buddha statues about the place, and plays funky house music. The food is the best you’ll find directly on the beach – the usual suspects like surf and turf make an appearance, but also a goat’s cheese salad and some mighty fine pizza, too. Dig your toes into the sand and relax with a beer. Now this is the life.

Otra Cosa
This French-Caribbean restaurant, just across from Velero and with marvelous sea breezes at dusk, does some of the choicest food in town. The forbidden paste – foie gras (US$20) – features prominently on the menu, and it also serves filet mignon with duck liver, morels and cognac (US$33). Good fish, lobster and steak dishes, too.

Bliss
It may not be on the beach, but sitting around the crystal-blue pool with a top-shelf cocktail in your hand, you can be forgiven for not caring. The food here is creative – think rack of lamb with thyme and bitter caramel sauce, shrimp with passionfruit sauce, or roasted duck breast with green pepper sauce.

Hexenkessel
After a night of debauchery, nothing hits the spot like a monstrous schnitzel (US$5) at this never-closed German eatery. Clients sit side by side at picnic tables. Other house specialties include potato pancakes with ground beef (US$6.50) and fried Bavarian bratwurst (US$4).

La Casita de Juana ‘El Tigre’
The irrepressibly warm owner of this Dominican restaurant makes Dominican food memorable (no small challenge). Choice of chicken, goat or fish with rice, beans and salad. The specialty of the house is arepita de yucca (aniseed-flavored yucca pancakes).

El Rocón
This secluded restaurant-cum-driving-range is just east of Encuentro. Great for a beachside lunch, it also sometimes holds after-hours parties that go till dawn – ask any DJ if it’s on. Small, thatched chill-out shacks are a great place to watch the sun rise.

Pomodoro
Run by an Italian jazz fiend, this pizza joint makes the best crispy-crust pizza on the beach. It uses only quality toppings – including pungent, imported Italian cheese – and there’s live jazz on Thursday nights.

Panadería Repostería Dick
The undisputed champion of breakfast in Cabarete, Dick serves large set breakfasts with juice and strong coffee. The bakery does wholewheat bread and mind-blowing vanilla-cream Danish pastries.
