El Cayo

Frommer's Review

This relaxing spot for lunch is a boating excursion and dining outing rolled into one. In a pretty blue-and-white clapboard waterfront house on a tiny island in the middle of the Bay of Santiago -- you have to take a CUC$3 round-trip ferryboat from the Santiago Marina (tel. 22/9-1446) to get there -- is this breezy, tranquil restaurant that's popular with organized groups but is perfect for independent travelers, too. Sit on the covered wraparound balcony overlooking the water and try any of the specialties, which quite logically are seafood dishes: Spanish mackerel, lobster, red snapper, marlin, or fish soup.
