Florecita Restaurante — Restaurant in Higüey

If you’re looking for a spot in Punta Cana that’s full of charm, flavor, and warmth, Florecita is it! From the moment you walk in, you feel that laid-back island vibe mixed with genuine Dominican hospitality. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual night out with friends or a romantic dinner.

The food is truly the star here. Everything tastes fresh and authentic, with dishes that showcase local flavors in a way that feels both homey and elevated. Portions are generous, so come hungry (and maybe ready to share a plate or two). Pair that with refreshing drinks, and you’ve got yourself a little slice of paradise at the table.

Service is friendly and attentive staff go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome, even if there’s a language barrier at times. It adds to the charm and authenticity of the experience.

Pros: • Delicious, authentic Dominican food with great variety • Warm, welcoming atmosphere • Friendly service that makes you feel like family • Good portions and fair prices

Cons (but minor): • It can get busy, so service may be a little slower during peak times • The space is more casual than upscale, so if you’re expecting fine dining, adjust your mindset

Overall, Florecita is the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after the meal is over. Definitely worth a visit when you’re...

Good afternoon! Unfortunately, my expectations were overly high due to the advertising billboards claiming this establishment to be the best restaurant in the country. However, regrettably, that is not the case. Moreover, the restaurants in all-inclusive hotels surpass Florecita in terms of food quality.

I specifically ordered one of the most expensive dishes, lamb ribs, but the quality of the ribs themselves and their preparation left much to be desired. They were overcooked, and the marinade and sauce were of poor quality. The sauce should complement the flavor, not compete with it.

The mashed potatoes, priced at 400 pesos, were lumpy with an odd texture. I honestly don’t know how it’s even possible to mess up mashed potatoes. My wife and I both agreed that this could be considered a decent restaurant in some rural area, but the prices here are completely unjustified for the...

We chose this as our 'final evening meal' of our holiday as we were aware that it wasn't the cheapest in the area.

Overall, it was a good experience. We were early so were prepared for few people and lack of atmosphere. However, we were made welcome by our friendly waiter.

The bread and welcome drink were a good start. We were invited to view the impressive wine cellar which was interesting. The computer system still has a few glitches as our chosen wine wasn't in its rightful place.

Starters were beautifully presented and very tasty. It wasn't clear whether my partner's dorada was supposed to have bern filleted. He certainly had to spend time removing bones.

The crème brulée was plenty for two and was delicious.

In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed our last meal...
