    What a lovely lunch experience we had at Amaluna. The garden which doubles as the dining area is a beautiful little oasis, the food was outstanding (and I’m not even a vegan), and the owner was just lovely. The prices might seem high at first glance, but the portions are huge, and it comes with a flavoured tea. They also brought a bunch of water with cucumbers at no additional cost, so the price you see on the menu is all you have to pay. The desserts were incredible, too. We had the chocolate cake and the carrot cake.

    My wife and I shared great meals at this place. The meals were all affordable, and incredibly tasty while being healthy. Barbara was lovely and remembered our allergies every time we went. Strongly recommend!

    Wow this place is amazing. The atmosphere is like you’re eating in a small fortress. The food was amazing and this restaurant is the only true vegan restaurant in punta cana. The price was fine for me as I ordered two full meals. Definitely had to take one to go because the portions are more than fulfilling even for a 6’3” athletic male as myself. I ordered a bowl and also the burger. The owner is super sweet and she creates everything homemade herself. This place is top notch and could give any vegan restaurant anywhere a run for its money. I will definitely be back again.

    Amazing food! We went here several times for lunch while we were staying nearby. Everything was extremely tasty, and lunch comes with a bowl of the day, infused water, and a drink to go with the meal. It is very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Food is fresh and healthy. Lots of fresh veggies, like spiralized salad--but the seasonings and sauces really took it over the top. Better than our local vegan restaurants in Ann Arbor, MI--if you can believe it! Everyone there was extremely nice too. I think most people, even meat eaters would be impressed. My only regret is that we didn't get to go there for dinner, since we were only nearby the beginning of the week.

    Loved the ambience and superb food. Do try their delicious ice cream. A bit pricey but worth the effort they put in food and whole atmosphere. Lovely owners 😀😀

    I'd give this place a hundred stars if I could. This is some of the best food I have ever tasted in such a relaxed tropical-style atmosphere. We particularly liked the Buddha bowls. It was a huge portion and so fresh and healthy tasting. Our meal came with this passion fruit drink that was absolutely wonderful. We found the prices completely reasonable and probably less than what we'd pay for the same type of food in Toronto where we live. I'd eat here every day if I could, actually next time I'm here I plan to.

    Wow! I never expected to find such a beautiful, quiet spot tucked away close to the beaches of Bavaro. The food here is the best! So tasty.. I will have dreams about it once I leave. The atmosphere is fantastic. The service is friendly and staff are really kind/helpful. If you find yourself lucky enough to end up in this area, definitely make the trip to this restaurant! It is amazing.

    Nice atmosphere and beautiful landscaping, all vegan menu with decent food but be prepared for unprecedented slow service, especially when busy. Try the Chinese Vegan menu even if only for the first course. Good veggie burger.

    An oasis in the middle of Punta Cana that is not to be missed - even if you are not vegan. The food was delicious and the service was very good. The fruit smoothies are definitely worth trying. The appetizers consisted of warm and fluffy mini crepes with 2 flavourful sauces. The Italian, Thai and Chinese bowls were on the menu this night. Starting with the Italian, we ate a delicious and surprisingly authentic tasting lasagna, a few meatballs and a side salad. Then onto the Thai, an amazing coconut chicken, meatballs, coleslaw and cashew side salad and an amazing pasta with cream sauce. Finally the Chinese - fresh spring rolls, rice and a bokchoy and mushroom salad. All of these dishes were amazing and satisfying. Dessert came in the form of a mini, raw lemon cheesecake. So creamy and sweet yet light with a little tang from the lemon. My daughter said it was the best food that she has ever had in her life.The only issue was the bathroom which was a step above an outhouse - there was no toilet paper, the faucet was broken and the paper towel was some unsanitary towel from another era where everyone wiped their hands on the same cloth. It definitely didn't seem like a priority for them to fix up but if you are going to serve food, patrons should be able to wipe their hands when they use the bathroom. That's a no-brainer in the restaurant business.

    This was our second time at AmaLuna. The service was nice. But it takes a long time until you get something to eat. Ok, there were 8 of us but we only ordered 2 different menu items. Me and my wife are vegan and the others in our group also eat meat. The quality of the food was good. The cocktails are awesome. Conclusion: If you want something different, the AmaLuna is great. Very calm atmosphere. You really have to take your time.

    Absolutely delicious! I wish we could have dined in, but due to covid it was take out only. I'm sure it would have been even more amazing hot from the kitchen. I want to go back to DR just for this restaurant

    Best vegan restaurant I have visited in Latin America during my 4 months trip. The food was super delicious. You get there stuff you haven't had before and which you can't just buy. They have an own small laboratory where they develop and create their own products which taste amazingly good. I can highly recommend this place!

  • 3/5 Kevin K. 6 years ago on Google • 58 reviews
    This assessment is difficult for me. The food was delicious and the location was good. However, after the menu was brought to us, which we then studied and then wanted to order, the waiter informed us that there were only 3 meals to choose from and which one could be ordered (why doesn't he say that at the beginning?!) Even the regional ones They no longer had beer in stock, only the more expensive “vegan beer”. So the choice was very limited. What happened next was good. Overall it was OK. But rather disappointing...

    Very tasty food, all homemade. It's a bit expensive, so I deducted a star. We ate there twice and both times it was super tasty and very large portions. There are a lot of cats there, which is why we found it very nice. 😸

    Lovely place! Loved the restaurant and the food. There was only one choice available when we visited but what we had was delicious and they were able to cater for me with my gluten intolerance too.

  • 5/5 Alexandra S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is absolutely amazing! The food is so delicious... the best vegan food we have tried in Punta Cana! They make beautiful lunch boxes, with a variety of vegan dishes that are to die for! Communication for takeout during COVID was outstanding, 100% recommend! This is a must try place for vegans and non-vegans. New favorite restaurant (:

    (Translated by Google) Very good restaurant I think he is the only one in the 100% vegan area. They have a lot of variety of fresh and healthy food. I highly recommend the amaluna table that has a variety tasting like lasagna, meatballs, empanadas and some other things. I can also recommend the burgers they are exquisite and and taste very much like those of real meats. The service was excellent and very friendly. Recommendation for the restaurant is to extend the kitchen hours because it is until 9pm although they can make an exception if you spend a few minutes. (Original) Muy buen restaurant. Creo que es el único en el área 100% vegano. Tienen mucha variedad de comida fresca y sana. Recomiendo mucho la tabla amaluna que tiene una degustación de variedad como lasagna, albóndigas, empanadas y algunas cosas más. También puedo recomendar las hamburguesas son exquisita y y un sabor muy parecido a las de carnes real. El servicio fue excelente y muy amable. Recomendación para el restaurante es que amplíen el horario de la cocina porque está hasta las 9pm aunque pueden hacer una excepción sí te pasas por unos minutos.

    (Translated by Google) Not being vegan I went there to test and had a good lunch. The manager of the restaurant having made me a special dish (hamburger with homemade fries) so that I wouldn't be too disoriented, I really appreciated that. Even though the steak was made from vegetables, I enjoyed the meal just like my girlfriend. (Original) N’étant pas vegan j’y suis allé pour tester et j’ai passé un bon déjeuner. La responsable du restaurant m’ayant fais un plat spécial ( hamburger avec frites maison) afin que je ne sois pas trop dépayser, j’ai beaucoup apprécié cela. Même si le steak était fais à base de végétales, j’ai apprécié le repas tout comme ma copine.

    I stayed in Punta Cana for a week and went to Amaluna several times. It's tough to find decent vegan food in the city so this place was like heaven. The owner is a really sweet woman who went above and beyond. She gave so much great advice about the city too! The food was quality with solid ingredients and really tasty! I was here August 2019 - it's low season so they were only open 11-2 which is a shame because I would have loved to eat there for dinner too. My only complaint is that there wasn't any coffee :)

  • 5/5 Cristian F. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a gem for Vegan in the DR. Went there for lunch and have no regrets. Phenomenal Buddha Bowls. The place was very cozy and inviting. The own was a delight. One thing to keep in mind the full menu is only available later on in the day. Went there a little after they open and the only things available were Buddha bowls. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for some vegan food in the area.

  • 5/5 daiyana r. 4 years ago on Google
    this restaurant is amazing! everything is very clean and tasty. the food is delicious for vegans and not vegans.... the best food I tasted while staying 1 week in the area. the portions are huge.. so you get a lot for the price... the owner is lovely as well and she is doing a great job at this establishment. we had the thai bowl and the burger... out of this world!! My husband and I were super when we left. I would highly recommend Amaluna!

    Amazing. The food is just exquisite. The restausant is closed because of the pandemic but you can order take out. It's so so good. We asked for lunch and dinner box. Only vegan in the island. You won't miss anything. Go there right away!

  • 5/5 Siboney S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The best restaurant in Punta Cana! Excellent food, very nice garden, the most friendly attention (which unfortunately is not seen much in Punta Cana), here yes! . The only thing to keep in mind is that the prices are a little high if one goes with the money to vacation. (Original) El mejor restaurante en punta cana !! Excelente comida , muy lindo jardín , la atención de lo más amable (que lamentablemente no se ve mucho en punta cana),aquí si !! . Lo único a tener en cuenta es que los precios son un poco elevados si uno va con el dinero para vacacionar.

😠 This place has been around for a while. I would know because I have been coming since I was a child. However, the quality of the food has gone way down.
