I love their food. Even though you can't get in, it is very confortable to take the food. Just find it in Whatsapp and the inform you about daily menu everyday. Nowadays is it not possible to choose from more dishes, but if you have...special needings, they do the best, to make the food for you. Just let them know. Owner is lovely lady named Maddalena. We became friends in the time i spend in Punta Cana. I wish i come back in times they will be opened not only for take away again. God bless them!More

This restaurant is the saving grace of Bavaro for Vegans. The food is delicious and really filling with the large portions. Her lunch bowls are divine and is generally concerned about the health of her customers. A rare find in Punta Cana. The restaurant is...only serving for pickup only because of COVID and is definitely worth the additional scheduling.More

We dont generally go to vegan only restaurants but the reviews were so impressive and when we asked at our hotel they also only had fantastic things to say, so we opted for dinner at AmaLuna and were so impressed by this gem! We ate...a delicious and healthy meal, sitting outdoors, under the night lights and moon, it was a terrific meal, one to be repeated one day hopefully!More

Visited here twice for lunch. Had x2 different burgers and x2 soul bowls (Thai and Chinese). Quality and portions amazing, food out of this world. Comes with lovely flavoured tea. 2 lunches worked out around £22 which is quite pricey, but we returned the next...day so clearly worth it. Lovely setting surrounded by lots of plants with shaded or sun options. Husband is huge meat eater and was very reluctant to eat here initially but after first visit he couldn’t wait to return.More

We were excited to learn there was a vegan restaurant in heavily meat-based Punta Cana- and we weren’t disappointed! We went for lunchtime- the atmosphere was serene and calm. The choice was good three of us ordered burgers, the other two bowls, which had yummy...super foods in them. The carrot cake was incredible! The service was great- even despite the rainstorm - we were well looked after! The only downside was it was a little on the expensive side, but tasty all the same.More

Magnificent authentic vegan cuisine. As my friend and i explored Dominican republic, we realized how there arent authentic vegan options. There is confusion between began and vegetarianism. Amaluna is the only authentic vegan option with many plant based options we have found in Punta Cana....We will definitely be coming back as daily as possible until our leave. Highly recommend this place.More

I stayed in Punta Cana for a week and went here several times. It's tough to find decent vegan food in the city so this place was like heaven. The owner is a really sweet woman who went above and beyond. She gave so much...great advice about the city too! The food was quality with solid ingredients and really tasty! I was here August 2019 - it's low season so they were only open 11-2 which is a shame because I would have loved to eat there for dinner too. My only complaint is that there wasn't any coffee :) My partner is a meat eater and he loved this place and wanted to come back.More

I so wish this place was closer to our resort because I would be eating there everyday ! I found it on happycow, being a vegan not having much interesting to eat in my holiday resort I just wanted some proper vegan grub! And my...goodness we found it , as soon as you walk in this place it’s like the secret garden, bright flowers, beautiful plaques and butterfly’s flying around, the resident cats were also lovely basking in the sunshine and really friendly. The owner was really pleasant, introduced herself and asked where we had travelled from , gave us our menus and answered any questions we had. Now... the food. Next level amazing. We got the rice paper with garlic mayo as a light starter (mayo is amazing) For mains we got the insanity burger and the Italian style hotdog. Both of the ‘meats’ were so tasteful, all made herself at the restaurant. The Italian style hotdog had a hotdog texture to it and looked like a hotdog! And the burger texture was so similar to burgers! The cheese on the burger was sooooo nice too, the best I’ve tried since turning vegan. We didn’t try dessert as were too full! This place isn’t to be missed !More

BOth were Huge!! we only finished it because it was that good but we were extremely full and we are both big eaters. the food is extremely tasy; in the case of the thai bowl it reminded me of food that i have only been able.to get in THailand. my husband who is not vegan agreed that this is the best food we tried during this trip.

We weren't expecting to find such an excellent restaurant so close to our bed and breakfast. The service was only exceeded by the food. I've eaten a lot of vegan 'meat' before, but honestly, the shitake 'chicken' in our Buddha Bowl was beyond compare. Amazing...food, perfect outdoor garden seating hides you from the streets outside, and the hospitality of the staff make for a truly enjoyable dinner. Well worth the walk from the beach.More

Yes. The restaurant staff will call a cabbie friend of theirs to take you back. Also, you should get a card from the cabbie who takes you from your hotel to the restaurant, they can call him too.
