Perched high on a hilltop overlooking the Caribbean, this simple restaurant comes with five-star views. You can almost smell the asopao de langosta (a rich lobster chowder) cooking before you get here – a cauldron-full will set you back about US$30 but it could serve at least two people. There's plenty for carnivores too, and live music on weekends.
