Before you leave the island, make time to sample vegan versions of comida criolla like sancocho,
salami and the meat-free bandera dominicana: soy or gluten meat with rice and beans. Indulge in
all of this and more at Raíces, a cafeteria-style lunch café run by Adventists. Or save your appetite
for a fine dining vegan experience at Time Vegetarian Kitchen in the Colonial Zone. You’ll miss the
wonton ravioli as soon as it disappears from your plate. The berry sorbet, dressed up with pepper
and basil, is likewise unforgettable.
Try Dominican comida criolla at Raíces, such as sancocho, a
hearty tuber stew, or soy and gluten meats with rice and beans.
