Spanish rice and seafood from chef Rafael Planelles

Real Spanish rice, the kind you rarely find among Punta Cana's Caribbean and international kitchens. Chef Rafael Planelles built the menu around his Mediterranean roots: arroces, seafood, and starters that reviewers rate above the mains.

The address is unlikely, tucked inside Blue Mall Punta Cana, but Planelles brought a built-in following from his personal cooking profile. Go for the rice, stay for the starters.

    10/10 The Pulpo was unbelievable, and the Tarta Basca dessert was incredible as well. Some of the best food I’ve found in Punta Cana

    My wife and I have become repeat customers, officially our date night spot. Try the Camarón al Ajillo and the beer is cold.

    Absolutely delicious Spanish cuisine. The tapas was all excellent and we particularly enjoyed their short rib paella, crazy good. Also the Basque cheesecake! The service was also fantastic and the staff went out of their way to give us an amazing experience.

    This was truly one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. We started with a complimentary blue cheese croquette that was thee perfect bite and so tasty. We moved in to Iberian ham and tetilla served with sourdough and tomato. It was a delicious start. We then had waygu tartare which was a big portion size and absolutely amazing the way the potatas bravas and sauce complimented. Both the oxtail croquettes and Iberian ham croquettes were tasty bites. For our main dish we ordered the short rib rice and upon my first bite I didn’t know rice could be that good. It was so creamy and delicious. It was a flavorful explosion in my mouth that left me craving more and then the short rib itself was perfectly cooked. On top of the delicious food our cocktails were unique and so tasteful. This place needs to be must visit when here!! We ended up chatting with one of the owners as well who was so sweet and kind and truly so proud of their ingredients. Again I cannot stress enough that this is a must visit restaurant.
