A
Restaurante Safari
The town's most enjoyable restaurant is on a thatch-roofed, open-air platform right over the water about 1km north of the town center. Locals and visitors alike love to eat and catch the sea breezes here. Excellent seafood of all kinds including the specialty tapado – that great Garífuna casserole (US$6.50); chicken and meat dishes are less expensive (US$3 to US$6). There's live music most nights.

El Cafecito
This sweet little air-conditioned spot whips up some of the most interesting food in town. Portuguese dishes such as feijoda (stewed beans, pork, beef, chicken and other stuff; US$6) and a good range of seafood and sandwiches.

Rincon Uruguayo
Given that the concepts of ‘big' and ‘juicy' are so rarely applied to Guatemalan steak, this outdoor eatery comes as a relief. Chorizo, barbecue chicken and chivitos (steak sandwiches) are also available.

Container
The oddest café in town – made from two shipping containers, at the west end of 7a Calle, with fine bay views, thatched huts out over the water and plenty of cold, cold beer.

Pepín Burger
Come here, between 8a and 9a Avs, for an almost mind-boggling array of snacks, fajitas, good-value burgers and more serious meals on an open-air upstairs terrace.

El Muñecón
A statue of a dock worker; this is a favorite landmark and monument in the town.
