2 Best Restaurants in West End, Roatan and the Bay Islands

There's a reason Oasis is constantly on the top of Roatán's best restaurant lists—its international fusion menu and laid-back atmosphere consistently come with good food and drinks. The menu changes frequently, so be sure to check their Facebook page for the most up-to-date menu items. But you'll usually get at least a few local favorites, like the famous chipotle-glazed baby back ribs or a homemade Snickers bar. Creative cocktails flow freely, and this is one of the only places on the west side serving imported beers.

Serving up traditional Mediterranean fare, Por Qué No? is a hidden gem tucked away off the main road. Assemble a mix-and-match meal of appetizers: couscous, hummus, and the best potato salad on the island will do well. If you're hungrier, chow down on any of the pizzas or pastas, or head further east with a plate of Turkish kofte (meatballs). Breakfast is healthy and quick. Pull up a chair on the deck and enjoy the views of dive boats speeding by.
