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

If you're looking for authentic island food, you'll need to stop here, where Miss Ilene herself dishes up traditional island fare such as stewed chicken with rice and beans, fried plantains and cabbage salad, and whole fried fish. If she's making soup, be sure to try some even if it's hot out—her soup is legendary in West End.

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.
