Tuna Bay Restaurant: Best on the Beach

Tuna Bay Island Resort's restaurant is the best on the beach with spacious interior, high ceiling, fantastic open-side dining with great views of the sea. The menu is a nice mix of asian and western cuisines, with some Malay, Thai and Chinese options balanced by pastas, sandwiches and fresh salads, and of course the barbecued fish, prawns, chicken or beef. Overall, ingredients are fresh and good quality, although service is often slow as the restaurant is short-staffed but that is not untypical in island settings. Definitely the most popular place to have dinner on the beach, nice atmosphere, clean, comfortable.

Favorite Dish: Pictured here, I perform a tremendous feat of drinking 3 different beverages at one time! Lemon iced tea, lime juice and chocolate frappe! Yum. 2nd pic shows the Prawns with Nestum, which was pretty tasty. 3rd pic shows the very unorthodox "Greek" salad (has lettuce in it and substitutes blue cheese for feta -- never in Hellas), and the garlic toast while Rita gets ready for the tom yam soup.

Nia Cafe: Nia Cafe

Nia Cafe is immediately adjacent to Tuna Bay Island Resort and is a good alternative to Tuna Bay's much pricier fare. The cheap plastic tables and chairs are right on the sandy beach and a bit closer to the sea... Try the tom yam soup, medium spicy, it's delicious!
