Where to Celebrate Your Birthday in Punta Cana
· Equipo QueHacerRD
Sushi on a terrace, Mediterranean cooking with live music, pub-style barbecue and Dominican flavor: five Punta Cana restaurants for celebrating with a group.
Celebrating a birthday in Punta Cana comes with a head start: the setting is already there. All that is left is picking the table. And whether you live in the area or are on vacation, leaving the hotel for the birthday dinner turns an ordinary night into the night of the trip.
These five restaurants are among the most reviewed in Punta Cana and all of them welcome groups. They are in Bávaro, Downtown and Punta Cana Village, the areas where local life happens. The golden rule: book several days ahead, say how many you are, and ask about the cake policy.
Noah
The most reviewed on this list and one of the area's favorites. International cooking with sushi and contemporary dishes, a terrace and a modern feel that works for a big table without losing the special touch. It serves brunch, in case the birthday is a daytime affair.
SBG Punta Cana
At BlueMall Puntacana, with Mediterranean cooking, a terrace and live music. A sophisticated setting, the kind you dress up a little for. For the birthday with a long dinner, wine and lingering conversation.
La Bruja Chupadora BBQ & Pub
Barbecue and pub food on Avenida Alemania, open every day until midnight. Generous portions, beer and a relaxed atmosphere where a loud group fits right in. The choice when the guest of honor prefers ribs to white tablecloths.
La Casita de Yeya Village
Real Dominican food at Galerías Punta Cana, in the Village. Mofongo, sancocho and home-style dishes at reasonable prices, with a terrace. Ideal for a family birthday, or for letting visiting friends try the country's cooking.
Burlao Grill Punta Cana
A grill and bar with a terrace, casual and very well rated. It is pet friendly, so the dog can come to the party too. A no-fuss option for getting people together, ordering for the table and raising a glass.
Quick checklist before you book
- Book early and confirm the headcount the day before.
- Ask whether you can bring a cake and whether there is a serving fee.
- If you are staying at an all-inclusive, arrange the ride there and back before you leave.
- Mention it is a birthday; many places have a little something for the guest of honor.
