Catalonia Bavaro Beach has four a la carte restaurants. They are currently not all open every night. There are 2 open weekend nights, and 1 open on weeknights. They are open on a rotating basis, so you have a chance to try each one. Sadly, you only get 4 a la carte nights, so you have to make other arrangements for other nights.
The first one we tried was La Toscana, which was Italian food. The bruschetta was okay, although appies were served buffet style, and the seafood was properly cooked, but not really exciting.
The next restaurant we tried was Yuca, which was Caribbean themed, and quite tasty. All the dishes were served at the table. We were started with an appetizer of cassava and refritos which was quite tasty. Then went on to the "Golden Fillet with Yucca Crust". I can't be sure, but the "golden fillet" had the texture and flavour of mahi mahi. It was quite delicious, as was the rum cake for dessert.
The feather in the resort's cap is Mikado, the teppanyaki restaurant. The seating has been altered for social distancing. A chair is left between parties. Everyone gets a dish of sushi to start; some of the selections were quite novel. Then for the main, there were veggie fried rice, vegetables, and a choice of proteins. My friend and I both chose the shrimp and squid option -- delicious. This was easily the best meal we had here.
They finished us off with hot sake served in wine glasses, and then invited us into a more lounge-like room for dessert. This made a lot of sense. It allowed us to finish our meals in a leisurely fashion while they sanitised the cooking area for the next seating.
