If you craving local food, here's the place to be. The amient is just as local as the food. If you know about taste, you surely know that food cooked on charcoal based fire tastes the best.

This was recommended to us by a local. We weren't aware until we got there, but there are 6 different mini-restaurants inside. Where you sit determines whose food you eat. It was delicious and a fun, unique experience. We felt like one of the locals!

Market place with all the local food. Try something with every thing on It. Goat, Chicken, Fish, veal and rice, patotos, Mango for 70 dollars 3 persons

The people visiting this place are very happy, laughing out loud, singing etc. The place is a bit old and in need... More

Local food is always the best. I had a fish platter - that is, a whole fish with rice and peas and a small salad - with delicious lemon water. Couldn't finish it all so took the leftovers back to the hotel. Great for budgeting if you're travelling solo and have access to a microwave.

If you're okay with plastic tablecloths and picnic benches, and sharing a table, this is the place to try authentic local food. The place has about 8 separate cooking stations, each manned by different people offering various local foods. It's no frills but the lunch prices are very reasonable. It's only open for lunch and closed Sunday. Great place to... More
