Freedom Fighters Ital Shack

$

Made famous by the late Anthony Bourdain, who stopped here in 2000, this vibrant spot on the edge of town is well-known for its loyal following, colorful exterior, and ital food—vegan and organic and made of strictly local ingredients. Take your breakfast or lunch to go, or take a seat inside, where you're sure to be entertained by owner Ras Bushman, who runs the charming restaurant with his wife and son and knows a lot about the island and its medicinal plants. On Saturday, Ital Shack hosts Redemption Night, an evening of reggae music and local drinks.
