Maritana

If you’re not staying at Don CeSar Resort, consider eating there, at this bastion of coastal cuisine which only uses ingredients sustainably sourced from area farms and fishermen. After a major revamp, the special-occasion restaurant sports a chic nautical/yachty decor. Specialties include a hog snapper with beluga lentils, chermoula, pancetta, and lemon; and a butter-poached lobster with truffle emulsion. Staff is almost as stellar as the apple tart.
