"A
Charming
Brunch
Experience
at
Naca'n”
Tucked
away
in
the
historical
district
of
Zona
Colonial
in
Santo
Domingo,
you'll
find
Naca'n.
This
quaint
restaurant,
housed
in
a
beautifully
preserved
century-old
building,
offers
a
brunch
experience
that
is
as
charming
as
its
location.
Upon
entering
Naca'n,
you're
immediately
taken
by
the
blend
of
old-classic
charm,
that
effortlessly
sets
the
stage
for
a
relaxed
and
enjoyable
brunch.
My
brunch
commenced
with
'El
Jose',
a
Dominican
take
on
the
Old
Fashioned.
This
cocktail,
made
with
Brugal
rum
and
orange
bitters,
was
a
refreshing
mix
of
bold,
sweet,
and
citrusy
flavors
that
were
perfectly
attuned
to
the
tropical
setting.
The
food
was
nothing
short
of
remarkable.
I
began
with
a
delightful
couscous
salad
bursting
with
the
natural
sweetness
of
dates
and
the
freshness
of
cherry
tomatoes.
It
was
a
perfect
way
to
start
my
culinary
journey
and
set
the
tone
for
the
main
dish.
The
crabcake
served
with
a
corn
salad
and
a
side
of
paprika
sauce
was
a
delightful
midday
indulgence.
The
crabcake
was
crisp
on
the
outside,
tender
on
the
inside,
and
full
of
flavor.
The
corn
salad
provided
a
delightful
crunch,
and
the
paprika
sauce
added
a
smoky
depth
to
the
dish.
For
dessert,
I
opted
for
the
cookie
skillet,
a
decadent
choice
that
was
the
ideal
finale
to
this
culinary
experience.
The
cookie,
served
with
ice
cream
and
a
whiskey
sauce,
was
warm,
rich,
and
meltingly
soft,
making
every
bite
an
absolute
delight.
The
impeccable
service
provided
by
Anderson
only
enhanced
the
experience.
His
attentiveness
ensured
that
I
had
everything
I
needed,
making
my
dining
experience
smooth
and
enjoyable.
Considering
the
high
quality
of
the
food,
unique
drinks,
excellent
service,
and
remarkable
ambiance,
Naca'n
offers
good
value
for
money,
with
prices
averaging
around
$60-70
USD
per
person.
Given
my
delightful
brunch
experience,
I
found
this
to
be
excellent
value.
In
conclusion,
Naca'n
is
a
hidden
gem
that
provides
a
distinctive
brunch
experience
in
Santo
Domingo's
historic
heart.
It
offers
a
tantalizing
blend
of
history
and
culinary
creativity,
providing
a
solo
diner
or
a
group
of
food
enthusiasts
an
unforgettable
experience.
Don't
pass
up
the
opportunity
to
eat
here
–
you'll
not
regret
it!
