Fernando's Hideaway

Bequia


Set on a colorfully painted porch up a hilly side road in Lower Bay, this place is indeed hidden away but it's worth making the effort to find it to enjoy fantastic fresh seafood dishes. There's no fixed menu – it all depends on what owner and chef Fernando catches that morning. Call ahead to find out what's cooking. Reservations essential.
