We have some exciting news to share!
Castaways Bistro has been recognized with a 2026 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award, placing us among the top 10% of restaurants worldwide on Tripadvisor.
And the best part? This recognition comes from you—our guests.
The Travelers’ Choice Awards celebrate restaurants that consistently receive great reviews and ratings from travelers. Every breakfast shared with us, every seafood dinner, every cocktail at the bar, every celebration, and every review has helped Castaways Bistro reach this incredible milestone.
Thank You for Making Castaways Bistro Part of Your Punta Cana Experience
Since opening our doors, our goal has been simple: create memorable food and genuine hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere where locals and visitors feel welcome.
Our kitchen brings together Caribbean flavors with Cajun and Louisiana inspiration, creating a dining experience that’s a little different from what you’ll find elsewhere in Punta Cana.
From our signature Lobstercargot and fresh seafood to Whole Fried Red Snapper, Parrillada, Seafood Gumbo, Chef Lubin’s Famous Ceviche, Cajun Lobster Tempura, Shrimp & Grits, and much more, our menu is designed for guests who love discovering new flavors.
And Castaways isn’t only about dinner.
Start Your Morning at Castaways
Breakfast has become an important part of the Castaways experience.
Join us for favorites like Chicken & Waffles with Mama Juana Maple Syrup, Lobster Eggs Benedict, Bayou Burrito, Shrimp & Grits, Bananas Foster Pancakes, Coconut Crème Waffles, Dominican Breakfast, and our Signature Maryland Old Bay Bloody Mary.
Whether you’re starting another day in paradise or looking for a new breakfast spot in Punta Cana, we’ll have a table waiting for you.
More Than Great Food
This award is especially meaningful because it represents the complete Castaways experience.
It’s Chef Lubin and our kitchen team preparing every plate.
It’s our servers welcoming guests from around the world.
It’s cocktails at the bar, live music, breakfast with friends, fresh seafood for dinner, and discovering a new whiskey from our extensive bourbon and whiskey collection.
Most importantly, it’s our guests choosing to spend part of their Punta Cana experience with us.
