Vieques


At this popular open-air restaurant in the middle of the island, the menu focuses on sushi and BBQ (ask for a side of mac 'n' cheese). Its seafood is caught or flown in daily and many of its veggies are sourced locally, often from the organic kitchen garden. Wash it all down with a watermelon cocktail.
