For a long time it has inspired artists through its energy and creative atmosphere and archaeological sites. The food scene is pretty captivating too with charming inns, gorgeous markets and excellent restaurants, including some great spots just for veggies. Check out out favorites below.

Itanoni uses tortillas and antojitos (light tortilla-based dishes) to create some fantastic fine dining dishes and street food inspired beauties.

The philosophy is to support the country’s vanishing family farms; everything is prepared fresh from local ingredients and grilled over an open fire, creating healthy, sustainable dishes.
