Dinghy Dock
If you can brave the gauntlet of cigarette-smoking expats that requisition the steps nightly, you’ll find the DD to be something of a culinary revelation. Unusually for Puerto Rico, there’s an all-you-can-eat salad bar to quell your early hunger pangs, and you can chomp on your lettuce and cucumber while watching the kitchen staff throw morsels of food to the giant tarpon that swim right up to the deck. Fish is the obvious specialty here – fresh catches such as swordfish and snapper done in creole sauces. The busy bar is a frenzy of expats nursing Medalla beers and acts as the unofficial island grapevine. If you haven’t heard it here first, it’s not worth…

Juanita Bananas
This revolutionary restaurant gives new meaning to the words ‘fresh’ and ‘sustainable.’ Sporting its very own greenhouse and garden, almost all of the fruit, vegetables and herbs listed on the menu will have traveled only a few hundred yards before hitting your plate. The seafood is also local and fished using sustainable methods. Specialties include tasty soups, fruity desserts and the famous sofrito sauce (garlic, onions and pepper browned in olive oil and capped with achiote – annato seeds). The restaurant is situated on a small rise about half a mile from Dewey. Reservations are necessary.

Barbara Rosa
You are the waiter at this diminutive restaurant/bistro. You’re also in Barbara’s house – her front verandah to be more exact, so tread carefully. When you’ve decided what you want, take the menu into the front room and holler through the kitchen hatch at the busy Barbara as she scurries around the kitchen. Hey presto, 15 minutes later out comes fish and chips, a juicy burger or a plate of homemade crab cakes. It’s rather quaint, once you get your head round the system. Barbara’s is situated on the road north out of Dewey toward the airport.

Pandeli
Ideal if you’re twiddling your thumbs waiting for the 6:30am ferry to Fajardo (the Pandeli opens at an eye-popping 5:30am), this deli/café sells pastries, pancakes, salads, sandwiches and coffee. Come 8am and it’s inundated with school kids and stray travelers using the internet. A good place to take breakfast and lunch and catch up on the local gossip.

Heather’s
In the center of town, across from the town hall, Heather’s is a popular hangout at night and a great pizza parlor. It gets popular in the high season so expect a wait.

Panadería El Patio
Positioned strategically at the end of the airport runway, El Patio offers fresh, warm pan criollo (a bit like French bread), coffee and sandwiches.
