La Residence
$-$$$, French, Santo Domingo
Fodor's Review:
This fine-dining enclave has always had the setting -- Spanish colonial architecture, with pillars and archways overlooking a courtyard -- and an esoteric lunch-dinner menu with high prices that did not always deliver. Now it has a seasoned French chef (and manager) serving classic yet innovative cuisine with many moderately priced choices. The daily Menu del Chef has a main course for less than $10. It could be brochettes of spit-roasted duck, chicken with poivre sauce, and vegetable risotto. You could start with a salad of panfried young squid for about $5 and go bonkers over the $3 dark- and white-chocolate terrine. Veer from the daily specials menu and it's certainly more pricey but fair; even the grilled fillet and braised oxtail with foie gras sauce and wild mushrooms is reasonable.
