This is still an address where you can eat well while overlooking the ocean from the heights of Highway 115. We feel at ease in this airy restaurant, which is also a bar. You can come here with an excellent piña variety late in the afternoon to admire the sunset from the patio which offers a sea view.

It must be said immediately, here we eat Puerto Ricans, well and for cheap! The restaurant is situated on the heights of Añasco in the direction of Rincón and offers a magnificent view of the ocean. It is a pity that the room is closed and not outside. The most successful dishes are the lion-fish and pork mofongo, particularly delicious. If you want to make a little folie, try the lobster. Fish and seafood are always fresh. As an aperitif, you will offer a little Martini, since you will be left with the choice between 40 flavours which are combined among them, including among other spiders, guava, fresh, cherry, and even chocolate. For those who ignore alcohol, it is necessary at all costs to order a piña variety, much more original and much better than a Orangina, and let it say it, perfectly exquisite. Furthermore, you will not be disappointed by the service. An address to recommend absolutely.

First, the house has been able to build a solid reputation with very good Creole cuisine, serious, original and creative. The restaurant is also very nice.

The two chefs of the restaurant, one of Puerto Rico, the other of American origin, guarantee an ingenious blend of flavours. From time to time, sushi is even served. Let's say it, this restaurant never disappoints.

In the day, Sweey & Spicy offers its specialty: Fried chicken wings with honey, barbecue sauce and mango. Many salads, sandwiches and accompaniments.

It is difficult to do more local and find a place where you will eat as well. Topacio has become the island's reference to Puerto Rican gastronomy. The patronne, born on the island, is pleased to hear many anecdotes about Vieques. Fish dishes (around $ 13) are delicious. However, you will need to be a little patient to taste your dish, which is not the fastest service. But the mofongo with seafood really is worth a detour.

Even though the house offers more elaborate dishes, she has forged a strong reputation for pizza and hamburgers. Quite rightly. For $ 5, sandwiches are well provided. Ideal for a breakfast at a low price.

Opened for a few years, the restaurant is perfectly situated on the main square. The sangria of the Casa is excellent. You have choice à la carte among many tapas, at reasonable prices. As a good Spanish tavern, the house also prepares paella.

Undoubtedly the best address of the city to eat sushi and other Japanese dishes. Nothing is Puerto Rican, but the chef benefits from the port of Mayagüez to serve fish well. Inside, the décor is meant to be excessively modern, with clear lines of light colour and neon lights to illuminate the bar.

With its large terrace overlooking the sea, Vista Al Mar has the most pleasant setting to share a dinner. Of course, it benefits from its advantageous situation along the coast to propose fresh products in fish and other seafood. There will, of course, be the menu of seafood mofongo.

The owner has built a part of his house in small restaurant, right opposite the Hotel Joyuda Plaza. He chose the closest part to the water to install his tables. The waves are only 3 m away!

Located at the bottom of the village, facing a large real estate complex painted in yellow and red, this restaurant serves mainly fish, as its name indicates. The bottom room is air-conditioned, but not the one on the floor, which stays at room temperature. The kitchen is excellent. From time to time, a band of salsa or cha plays live.

This small bar, located next to the Jobos beach, serves to drink but also to eat. The few chairs welcome you to choose between a mofongo to seafood or chicken accompanied by rice. Not bad. And in addition, you really eat in front of the ocean, the hair in the wind.

The establishment claims to be a restaurant. But once inside, difficult to find anything other than snacks. From time to time, the house serves small fish. From the beach, Los Almadros is easily spotted with its terrace surrounded by wooden planks painted in green and blue. To fill a small trough at lower prices, why not.

Located on one side of the main square, this small restaurant serves the best breakfasts in the city centre.
