Jungle Love Café

This intimate, family-run restaurant serves up excellent wood-oven pizzas, creative pasta dishes, healthy salads, and a mix of nightly specials. The owner’s signature dish is a family pasta recipe with carrots, leeks, and a spicy brandy-cream sauce, served here with fresh shrimp. The Tokyo Tuna adds a local twist to the traditional, Asian-style seared tuna, by adding fresh tamarind juice to the marinade. Save room for the desserts, which are whipped up daily. This place fills up fast, and reservations are definitely recommended.
