Isla ViequesVieques Island travel guide

Amapola

The Amapola is on the strip in Esperanza. This cute, simple open-air restaurant never seems to have a great deal of business during the day, but it is packed at night.

Inside the Amapola restaurant

The daytime problem is that the view of the water is partially obstructed. The food and service are excellent, and the decor is nice.

If you are looking for a place without crowds during the day, this is a real find. The view is still good, and the service, of course, will be very attentive. We ate lunch here more than once during our short stay and were always delighted. Try the jerked chicken for lunch: one of the best on the island. Dinner is excellent too.
