Cafe Dominican Restaurant, Norcross

Thanks to the presence of Middle Eastern immigrants in the 1800s, as well as African and Spanish influences, the cuisine of the Dominican Republic is as complex and varied as it is tasty. At Cafe Dominican Restaurant, a menu of authentic eats meets a cocktail and drinks list that makes the spot a real destination. Icy margaritas can be accompanied by a plate of tender, slow-roasted shredded pork atop seasoned rice. Or a glass of red wine pairs nicely with beef short ribs and plantains, served over fluffy white rice.
