Café Media Luna

Frommer's Review

This laid-back joint grew out of a dumpy building in Isabel Segunda. Today a charming little eatery, it is the domain of Ricardo Betancourt, a photographer turned restaurateur, and his wife, Monica, born in Bombay. Ricardo spent some 15 years in New York, photographing jazz musicians (sometimes for their record covers). Thanks to all the contacts he made, he invites many musicians to Vieques for jazz evenings. If there are two of you, ask to sit on a tiny balcony overlooking the streets. You are likely to catch the action on Saturday evenings. The kitchen turns out a terrific medley of Asian fusion and international dishes. It's good and healthy. The appetizers are freshly made concoctions, based on the best shopping on any given day. We like to arrive here with a party, order several appetizers, and share the goodies. The fresh fish and well-flavored meats round out the main dishes. Ask what is good on any given day; the staff gives good advice. Depending on road conditions, allow 15 to 20 minutes when driving from Esperanza.
