Kabu Payaska

Caribbean Coast


Bilwi’s best-loved seafood house is set on a large concrete patio overlooking the swirling Caribbean. The food is very tasty and the view and fresh breeze make it worth a visit. The coconut-based mixed seafood soup (US$10), featuring fish, shrimp and a whole lobster, is the one you want to go for.

This neighborhood is considered unsafe, so take a taxi (US$0.70).
