The Secret Garden
A banana-tree courtyard restaurant tucked behind the main street, serving Caribbean and pan-Asian fusion. Layered citrus-cured fish is the signature.
Located across from the village basketball court and behind the Tutti Frutti ice cream shop, most seats are in a quiet courtyard shaded by banana trees. The restaurant specializes in 'Asia de Caribe' fusion, combining Spanish, Caribbean and Creole flavors with pan-Asian cooking. The signature is layered snapper ceviche with mustard avocado sauce. Seared lobster, almond-crusted fish and Asian-style tuna tartare are also often mentioned. The menu changes with seasonal ingredients. Prices are slightly higher than at typical village restaurants, and dinner reservations are recommended.
