Restaurants in Hopkins Village and Sittee River Village

Even if you’re staying at one of the large resorts around here, it’s worth heading into town to try a meal at one of the simple, locally run restaurants on the main street. Of these Innies Restaurant (tel. 503-7333) is a perennial favorite. All serve excellent fresh fish and seafood, and will usually have some hudut and other Garífuna dishes on hand. That being said, the town’s restos tend to be very basic, inexpensive, and somewhat funky in decor and vibe. A similar option, which I prefer for its seafront location, is Laruna Hati (tel. 661-5753), which is located toward the north end of the village.

For excellent grilled fish and seafood, international fare, and tasty bar food, head to the Barracuda Bar & Grill (tel. 523-7259) at the Beaches and Dreams hotel, at the south end of the village. And for a relaxed, European-style cafe, try Thongs (tel. 662-0110), right on the main road, near the center of the village.
