Eat 'n Sleep in the Dominican Republic :: Cafe Montez and Hotel Atarazana

September 7, 2007 at 11:30 AM | 0 Comments

Our Eat 'n Sleep feature profiles a restaurant in a random city and a hotel nearby. It's kinda like that old show "Dinner and a Movie" but you know, with restaurants and hotels. And better jokes.

The 2-million-strong city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic has one of those to-die-for climates: The average high year round is between 85 and 90 degrees. The Colonial Zone of the city is popular for visitors, and has plenty of good places to eat and sleep. But we like one place in particular.

If you feel like you need a celebrity encounter, Dominican style, then the place to eat is Cafe Montez on Calle Sanchez. Opened by a husband and wife team who are huge Maria Montez fans, this relatively new restaurant offers traditional food from the Barahona region in the southwest, where Montez was born. (Somehow, the desserts are all-American.) If you book ahead, you can also watch any Maria Montez film you want in the upstairs viewing room.

Nearby, you can crash for the night at the Hotel Atarazana at Vicente Celestino Duarte 19. It's a six-room, designer-decorated and service-focused hotel that always gets great reviews, and with its location in the Colonial Zone, you're not only near good eats but a stack of tourist attractions as well.
