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.

B
Restaurante Buga Mama
This place enjoys the best location of any restaurant in town, and profits go to the Asociación Ak Tenemit. There's a wide range of seafood and other dishes on the menu, including a very good tapado. Most of the waiters here are trainees in a community sustainable tourism development scheme, so service can be sketchy, but forgivable.

Gaviota's Restaurant
Boat trips go to the Seven Altars, but locals say it's better to walk there to experience the natural beauty and the Garífuna people along the way. About halfway along, next to the rope bridge is Gaviota's Restaurant , serving decent food and ice-cold beers and soft drinks.

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.

E
Restaurante Gaby
For a good honest feed in underwhelming surrounds, you can't go past Gaby's. She serves up the good stuff: lobster, tapado, rice and beans and good breakfasts at good prices. The telenovelas (soap operas) come free.

Restaurante Bahía Azul
The Bahía's central location, happy decor and good fresh food keep it popular. The menu's wide, with a good mix of Caribbean, Guatemalan and Asian influences. It opens early for breakfast.

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.

Tilingo-Lingo
An intimate little place down near the beach. It advertises food from 10 countries, and makes a pretty good job of it, with the Italian and East Indian dishes being the standouts.
