The Best Barbecue Near Hospes Palau de la Mar, by the Record

When the last order goes in, the kitchen team literally closes a curtain, which tells you everything about how seriously this grill restaurant takes the drama of live-fire cooking. Fish sit in individual racks over the embers alongside meat and vegetables, all managed by a chef who treats smoke and flame as the only tools worth having. Near the Mercado de Colón, and full most nights, so book ahead.
