CabareteBars & RestaurantsCelina's. Celina's is Dominican food aimed at the Dominicans who visit the beach. I'm pretty sure Celina's is closed every night. As you step inside, you are stepping into their house. Behind you is the living area with a second kitchen.  Celina's during the day. Note the small alley to the right, on the other side is Pordomo's  No one here spoke English, they grabbed a guy
off the beach to pass on my order. And there was no menu, with no
prices shown. Was the price I paid a 'gringo' price? Almost certainly
but RD$180 plus RD$20 tip was not too bad for a pleasant Dominican
style lunch. Sadly, I doubt if it will be long before someone makes
'Celina' an offer she cannot refuse and this Dominican eatery makes way
for another bar for tourists. So while it wouldn't be to everyone's
taste, if you want to try some traditional Dominican food, it's worth a
visit.
January 2011- When I wrote "sadly, I doubt if it will be too long before..." I wasn't far out. It still sells Dominican food but the blackboard advertises in English, it has wi-fi, its open longer hours. The food still looks authentic... but it isn't the same. For many people that will be a good thing. Chicken, Rice & Beans. What did you expect me to have? Non-beach places review menu below. Some images required. Click on text for links.
