Restaurants Off The Beaten Path

Beyond Downtown - Hidden Gems to Chef’s Table Chic

Some of Isla’s best meals happen when you step away from the crowds and wander beyond the usual routes. Whether you’re cruising down a quiet backstreet or strolling into one of the island’s gorgeous resorts, this is where things get seriously tasty.

We’re talking family-run kitchens serving up recipes passed down for generations, open-air grills with catch-of-the-day perfection, and casual patios with plastic chairs and unforgettable dishes.

But don’t let the laid-back vibes fool you – Isla’s fine dining scene is definitely having a moment. Tucked between neighborhood homes with a discreet sign or hidden inside luxury resorts, you’ll find chef-driven restaurants where the menu and the wine list will absolutely blow you away.

Looking for a sunset dinner without the crowds? A waterfront lunch you’ll dream about later? A romantic meal where the dessert menu is as sweet as the company? You’ll find it here… off the beaten path, full of flavor, and totally worth the extra wander.

So come hungry and don’t wear anything too tight.
