Paco Cabana Review

Smack in the middle of Las Terrenas town but on the quiet beach, this very social restaurant has French savoir faire, from its contemporary bar with its stainless shine to the cushy couches and Asian beds. The owner, the suave Michel Mari, couples a classical culinary background with Caribbean flair for imagination. The fish all but swim onto your white geometric plate, and the artistry that comes out of this kitchen is some of the most contemporary on this island. Michel even marinates the local sardines, not unlike those in the south of France; they come out simple and delicious, garnished with roasted red pepper for color. House-made sorbets are an appropriate fin. When the bill comes, you'll still be smiling since the prices are so pleasing.
