Cayo Coral Restaurante

Cayo Coral Restaurante is built on stilts over the clear water of Cayo Coral, the small cay where most boat tours stop for snorkeling and lunch. The Smith family runs it and cooks 100% Bocas food: whole fried fish with coconut rice, lobster with patacones, and seafood fresh from the boat.

Order from the menu, or come with a tour group for the lunch buffet. From the deck you can see across to Isla Zapatilla and Isla Popa, and starfish and pelicans in the shallows below. Have a piña colada while you wait.
