Joaquina

Hungry after a fun day at the beach? Do yourself a favor and head to Joaquina! The patio offers beautiful ocean views, but it’s the artisanal food that will really capture your attention. The menu (which is also available in full English) is thoughtful, well-curated, and highly textured, offering everything from hearty local favorites in rich sauces to gluten-free/veg fusion options with delicate nuance. The ingredients sing here, including the seasoning and herbal touches of fresh oregano, thyme, and more. We spent three weeks traveling in the area and found this to be one of our most exceptional meals — the dishes were outstanding, and the service was excellent. It’s clear the restaurant is devoted to in-house preparation and customer satisfaction. Easy to leave here full and extremely happy!

Celiac care. Be very careful with dishes that indicate gluten-free on the menu. They confirm that they use the same oil for all frying. There is, therefore, cross contamination. The indication "gluten-free" is only for the main ingredients, not for the manufacturing process.

Very wide selection of meals including gluten free, vegan, lactose free. Nice service, though not all members speak English. Menu in English is available & portions are large.
