Dang Restaurant
Tasty local Thai food at insane prices. The wok-tossed chicken and basil, and fried crab curry are both wonderful, and it has 18 different fresh fruit smoothies. Its mango smoothie is the best on the island.

Living Food Cafe
When a 62-year-old naturopath extols raw vegan virtues and backs it up with a 2008 Ironman triathlon trophy, you listen. When he serves food so tasty you forget how healthy it is, you say, ‘more please’.

Harry's Steakhouse & Pub
No surprises at Harry's: it's the usual, air-conditioned tourist boozer. If you fancy a slab of steak in fresh, clean surrounds, however, you could do a lot worse than a table here.

Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante
This upmarket Italian joint serves pasta dishes so good you'll be composing arias on your napkin. Expect the requisite level of Roman romance and unctuous, mouth-watering cooking.

Deng’s
The best meal on this end of the beach. You can get your pasta, burgers and Wiener schnitzel here, but you’d be better served by the pineapple fried rice or local seafood.
