2 Best Restaurants in Guanaja, Roatan and the Bay Islands

Run by German expats, this waterfront eatery is wildly popular with both locals and visitors. Billiards, darts, a breezy terrace and picnic table seating give a casual vibe to this island hangout, which livens up in the evening with the occasional German jam session. The menu constantly evolves and often includes homemade spätzle, roasted pork, and chicken schnitzel. The bar has a big selection of German beers and imported wines. Come out on a Saturday night, and you just might meet the entire island.

Cheesy, creamy Tex-Mex classics like refried bean burritos and beefy nachos are served in a pink-and-purple room along Bonacca's main drag. Chill out with a frothy licuado (smoothie) or a freshly squeezed juice.
