What you can expect

  • Many visitors get to know Santo Domingo through Zona Colonial, the restaurants, or the areas near their hotel.

    But if you want to understand what the city is like at night, this experience takes you to a completely different side.

    After dark, many Dominicans go out for a quick bite to eat, meet friends, or end the day at small local food shops. These places are not designed for tourists. They're part of everyday life in the city.

    During the experience, you'll visit several selected spots where you'll try popular foods such as chimi, yaroa, pica pollo, and pierna. Each stop was chosen not only for the food, but for what it represents within Dominican culture.

    You'll learn when these dishes are eaten, why they're so popular, and how street food connects with work, family, friends, and everyday life.

    This is not a tour of fancy restaurants or a formal dinner. It's a food tasting experience to discover local flavours and gain a better understanding of the city.

    The group is small, with a maximum of four travellers, to maintain a relaxed pace, have a leisurely conversation, and have time for questions.

    Many travellers leave Santo Domingo having seen the Zona Colonial.

    Few leave knowing where Dominicans eat after dark.
