2 Best Restaurants in Providencia, Colombia

Caribbean Place Donde Martin

$$$ Fodor's choice
This local spot is considered to be one of (if not the) the best restaurants on the island. It features a seafood menu that has a leg up on its competition in terms of quality and variety, thanks to the talent of its chef, Martin Quintero, who prepares exquisite dishes such as local crab in coconut sauce or lionfish in ginger butter. Eclectic touches, notably the jumbled-wine-bottle garden, add character to the otherwise simple decor. A live band in the evenings fills the place with a lively island ambience. Reservations are advised.

Divino Niño Jesus

$$$

Set right on South West Bay beach, with tables under the trees, this is exactly the place one hopes to find on a Caribbean holiday. Niño's serves fabulous dishes like lobster in a garlic sauce or grilled fish of the day, which should be washed down with cold beer and fresh juices. Avoid peak lunch hours as service tends to dip considerably when it gets busy.
