  2. Belvédére

    The food - sandwiches, steak, pizza - is nothing special, but this brightly lit open-air place is a lot of fun at night. The playground equipment entertains the kids and there is sometimes live music on weekends for the adults.

  7. La Plage Rogbané

    This stretch of beach at the end of an unmarked alley was cleaned up (well, sort of) so people could use it, though the water is pretty dirty for swimming. The bar is aimed right at the sunset and they serve surprisingly good seafood.
