Barefoot
Dine on artichoke risotto with truffle oil or Egyptian-spiced kangaroo burgers at this restaurant, art gallery and ode to contemporary design.

Fat Possum Cafe
Aptly named for the well-fed possums scampering around the island. The best pickings are on the specials board; Sunday's $15 all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is something of a village social event.

Caffè dell' Isola
The Italian radio station reverberating through the outdoor courtyard attests to the authenticity of the crisp-crust pizzas here (as does the menu that reads 'please do not even ask for pineapple'). Cash only.
