Puerto Amistad

North Coast & Lowlands


Puerto Amistad is an expat favorite for its strong cocktails and the attractive and airy deck over the water. The salads, savory crepes, quesadillas, seafood dishes and steaks are all excellent, and service is above average. This slightly upscale restaurant also functions as Bahía’s yacht club and is the place to bump into other visiting yachties.
