Café Colao - Jarabacoa

Nice concept , quick service and very well educated. The staff are lovely and friendly. Expected a bit more from the food , small portion and not very fresh. But the whole experience was nice

Beautiful place, but all of our food was cold, the first waiter was probably new and inexperienced and needs more training he was not very attentive. Food should never be served at the temperature that we were served. Our second waiter was understanding to the situation, but it was too late. Our bill was 5000 and we left right after. I was going to do the bus tour but decided not to at all since our food experience was not good at all. The restaurant ambience is more for a younger crowd since most of the waiting staff is young men which were mostly gathered joking around in the front of the restaurant..

Where to start? Atmosphere: Just fantastic. It's like you've been there since day one. Everyone is amazing, even other customers. The vibe of the place welcomes you and hug you with joy. We didn't had kids with us, but we saw a lot of families with kids enjoying the place. I didn't see a specific area for kids (perhaps there's an area, based on the amount of families), but there was room for them to enjoy the grounds. The service? Well, those guys were amazing. From the guy who received us, to the last guy that helped us were the best. Even the photoshoot guys makes your day special. They really try their best to make you feel good and fulfill your needs. Now to the food: They've got a good list of beverages from which I have to recommend the fruits mojito (coconut, lime and passion fruit-chinola), but they have plenty of choices. The food it's really tasty. I ordered a mofongo with a side of chicken in garlic sauce that was very good. Others in my table got parmesan eggplant, barbecue ribs, fried yucca sticks, fried plantains, but what really surprised us was the awesome taste of the grilled veggies... A flavor explosion. They have good cooks and even better servers. I was forgetting their name dish, their coffee... Well, let's just say that I still got some visits left to continue tasting their fine coffee. I tried three of their preparations and they all were great. I certainly will recommend almost everything to try on different visits, but you can't miss the ride in their party carts through Jarabacoa. They actually take you through the town while you enjoy live music (typical merengue in our case, which was amazing) and make stops in a couple of places so you can take pictures, videos or whatever you want (we had time to dance in the open).

This restaurant has turned into a festival of its own. Something to see in DR. Different, beautiful and the best place for selfies .

Just wow! My first time here and I love it! My friends and I we had a unique experience here. 100 Recommended
