It’s hard to overstate the pleasure that can be derived from this multi-award-winning restaurant. Of course, hospitality is the strong suit of French cook Patrik, but the food does not disappoint. Start with sopa criolla, a potent and flavorful broth, served with hot bread, homemade butter and optional chilis. There are also nods to traditional French cooking – like Provençal tomatoes, crispy-perfect garlic potatoes and a melt-in-your-mouth tarte aux pommes.

The candlelit decor shows the imagination of a long-lost castaway with imitation Gauguin panels, a carved figurehead damsels, colonial benches and vintage objects. The S50 menú is an extremely good value for a decadent dinner. Indio Feliz has good wheelchair access and is in the process of adding an upstairs bar and terrace, which provides another reason not to leave here.
