We've compiled the best of the best in Juan Dolio - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
This Italian restaurant is one of the most visited in Juan Dolio, with standout pizzas, pastas, and cocktails. There is outdoor seating with good lighting, where you can enjoy the refreshing Juan Dolio breeze. Note that the staff doesn't speak much English.
This unpretentious restaurant's Eastern European owner has gained a loyal following among the expat set for his cuisine, which is paired with German and Belgian beers, grappa, cognacs, and good half-bottles of wine. The rustic, two-story palapa offers romantic seating topside, on the sand, or in the open-air dining room. The bilingual menu is well priced. Most seafood comes off one of the moored boats, so you can order the ceviche with confidence. The mixed grilled shellfish is enough for two and can include a lobster from the tank. Sunday offers a locally popular barbecue, which can be overcrowded. You'll find the best service at dinner, but lunch midweek is calm, and you can find a lounge chair and go for a swim.
