Eating Out in East Sandy Bay

3/25/2018

0 Comments

 
We have an onsite restaurant for breakfasts and dinners (non-hostel guests are also welcome), but it's nice to know options available for eating out around the neighbourhood.  Recently, there have been several new additions to the restaurant options in Sandy Bay, all within a short walk of the hostel.  Sandy Bay is a pretty long, stretched out area, so I prefer to think of it in two directions: east Sandy Bay (anything east of Anthony's Key Resort) and west Sandy Bay (west of Anthony's Key).  If you're staying at the hostel, make sure to ask about how you can get a hostel discount at many of the nearby restaurants.
There are several inexpensive comedores in the area that serve typical local food, but if you'd prefer a sit-down dining experience, there are also a few restaurants.
Ellen's Place - located inside of Pirate's Den, which is about a 5 min walk from the hostel (turning right on the main road, following the curve, and on the other side of the street, just before the paved turn off to the beach). Vietnamese food, closed Sundays.  They have a lovely spacious seating area with an oceanview.  
The Jolly Octopus- located along the beach about a 10-15 min walk from the hostel.  Go right along the main road until you reach the paved beach turn off on the other side of the road, turn down it, and then go right along the beachfront until you see their sign.  Burritos, burgers, nachos.  They have great live music Sunday afternoons, bonfires on Wednesdays, and also do kayak and snorkel tours.  Closed on Mondays.
The Real Kings- The newest addition to the Sandy Bay community, the Real Kings is located on the beach just past the Jolly Octopus, so turning down the paved beach turn off east of the hostel, and then going right along the water.  They have a dock with tables and chairs over the water, as well as a seating area by the beach.  Apparently they're doing some nightlife there as well (karaoke night this last Friday, not sure if they're having that on a regular basis).  I haven't had the chance to try this one out, but I walked by to get a few pics, and also have their menu to post.
Bambu Sushi and Fusion- A favourite of many island residents, Bambu is located on the upper floor of the building called Coral Stone, about a 10 min walk east of the hostel along the main road (in the same building as Core Pilates).  Pricing is a bit of a splurge, but the food is excellent, and preparation very artistic.  I don't have any photos or a menu to post, but will try to update that shortly.
