B3 – Barefoot Bar & Brasserie

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)


Right by the jetty, with sea views, B3's breezy wooden deck makes a great place to wait for the ferry. Come for the scrumptious homemade pasta, the fresh-seafood specials and the best pizza on Havelock.

Downstairs, Dakshin specialises in South Indian cuisine, from masala dosas (savoury potato-stuffed crepe) to a tempting line of thalis.
