Sun Set View is the restaurant directly across the street (and also owned by) the Cabañas Agua Dulce hotel. Each location has its own restaurant - with separate menus. However, even if you don't eat here (which I didn't) you have to stop by here late in the afternoon or early evening to have a drink and relax on the patio. The view is breathtaking and very romantic. The drinks are not particularly strong. I had a mojito which was a bit on the weak side. But I found it interesting that they picked mint fresh from the garden when making the drink.The place is very casual. So if you stop by and don't see anyone working there - just cross the street to the Cabañas hotel reception desk and they'll be glad to send someone over to take your drink or food order.

We ate here one lazy afternoon after ringing the bell to be served. We had the king crab, caught by the owner and shrimp, which is not caught locally. Both dishes were exceptional. The atmosphere of this place is relaxing and the tables are on the balcony of the house. The food is cooked inside the house in the kitchen and sitting on the balcony looking at the ocean is peaceful and hearing the mangoes fall from the trees around us is wonderful. The owner gave us some good advice on places to swim and snorkel and we had a good time interacting with him and his wife who does the cooking. It is a place we wish we could revisit. Highly recommended for delicious food and a unique experience.Thank you for your words..the Cook is Olivier...his cooking means what he believes the islas has to the people to come to vist us. We will here for you always
7. Rolands Restaurant Bar

The only business on the beach, yet the area surrounding the bar has more trash than the whole of southwest beach which has far more businesses. Countless plastic straws litter the place, bottles, paper plates, utensils, etc. Roland should make an effort between a few songs to to remind people to keep the place clean and use the bins, not leave trash everywhere, and have someone pick up some of the trash when things quiet down, takes just a few minutes. Good place to meet people if you enjoy reggae music, would rate it higher if an effort was made to keep it clean, Providence is like a little paradise, help preserve it!

Excellent seafood, the best we tried in the island. The standard fish they use to fry is called "esposa vieja" and it has a wonderful meat. The "mixed plate" is served with prawls and lobster by 30.000 pesos (10 dollars). Service is good and fast.

We ate at Miss Elmaâs 4 times during our 2 week stay, once just for their main ice-cream. The plates are generous and the food consistently delicious. Go for the specialties of Miss Elma, including the pescado dream and pescado with lobster sauce.

What a gem of a find, the food here is fabulous. A must while visiting providence. They do have a secret dessert, well I would like to keep it secret. Itâs pie! Coconut, pineapple, lime or cappuccino flavours wow wow wow, I tried them all. You can just pop in during the day and take home some pie for later. Do not miss out on the pie.

Al fresco seaside dining overlooking the beautiful National Park. Creative menu infuses local, Colombian and international dishes.
Reviewed By Emma H
We ate here lots as we were staying at deep blue. The food is consistently excellent & the staff are charming. We especially loved the crab croquetas & the tomato prawn ceviche, the wine list is also impressive, there is a good selection at what I consider fairly reasonable prices given the location. All in all a fabulous place to eat.

We got one of the last tables on a Saturday night at this popular restaurant. It seems to be popular with both tourists and locals. I highly recommend the grilled barracuda. It is served similar to a halibut steak -and was prepared perfectly.

Giant "mixto" platters - enough to feed three people. I can't eat lobster, so unfortunately I did not get one, though I did not ask if there could be substitutions. Great view and ambiance.
