The Thai Place
You'll hear locals still calling this place Tong's Thai, and while former owner Tong left the island long ago, thankfully the cooks stayed on. Spicy noodle dishes are served on the beachfront gazebo, and at night, the candlelit dock makes for a romantic dinner on the water. Honduran twists are added to traditional favorites by adding lobster to pad thai or squid to vegetable curry dishes.
Argentinian Grill
Grilled meats served fresh off the parilla (charcoal grill) are this steak house's specialty. Juicy fillets of beef tenderloin accompany local fare like wahoo steaks and lobster tail. Italian pasta and vegetarian dishes are also available. In the evenings in good weather, there is an option to dine barefoot on the beach with large lanterns lighting your table. The service is friendly but slow.
Beach Club San Simon
Set in the intimate garden of a very posh, very private beach club, the eatery serves up high-end surf and turf fare. Grilled lobster, shrimp, and grouper are listed alongside vodka-infused baby back ribs and buttery rotisserie chicken—San Simon's specialty. Sun beds and beach cabanas can be rented for half or full days. The club also has free Wi-Fi and private showers for guests.
Creole's Rotisserie Chicken
Gio's
Famous for its king crabs, Gio's is something of an institution on Roatán. Served with lemon butter, the seafood comes in heaping portions. There's a slew of other satisfying seafood specialties, as well as great steaks. Sit in the air-conditioned dining room or on the terrace overlooking the Caribbean.
H.B. Warren (Sun Supermarket)
The most centrally located supermarket on the island, H.B. Warren has a lunch counter where you can sample some delicious fried chicken. It's also a great place for a quick breakfast. Colectivo taxis and public buses depart from the store.
Hole in the Wall Restaurant
As you would expect from a restaurant with this name, Hole in the Wall is a local favorite—so much so that the community helped rebuild it after a 2005 fire burned the place to the ground. Come here for the lobster, shrimp, and sirloin steaks; it's a quick boat ride from Oak Ridge, and any water taxi will know exactly where to take you. If you call ahead, they'll send a boat for you.
Por Qué No?
The Crow's Nest
Vintage Pearl Restaurant & Wine Cellar
Gourmet dinners and an extensive wine collection give this eatery an elegant advantage in an area dominated by resort buffets. The menu changes daily based on season and local availability, but almost always features a beef, fish, pork, chicken, and vegetarian dish. The cellar has more than 50 international wines, including featured favorites from California. Cool off inside the mahogany wood cabin, surrounded by sea-grape trees, or enjoy the breeze outside on the waterfront deck.
