Bamboo Blu
A seafood restaurant on Mammee Bay beach west of town, where live lobster is grilled, with sand-side days and bonfire dinners.
Located on a quiet stretch of Mammee Bay beach west of town, next to the Riu hotel, it has a 4.6 rating on Tripadvisor. Its signature is live lobster taken fresh from the beach pool, which can be grilled over firewood, jerk-style, in a spicy sauce, or in curry. Other dishes include curried shrimp, seafood mac and cheese, fried snapper and oxtail. During the day you can rent loungers and swim; in the evening there are bonfires and a resident singer, and it is a popular spot for birthday celebrations. Dinner reservations are required. Lobster is priced high, and tax and a service charge are added on top. The beach gets crowded when cruise groups visit.
