El Manati was originally built in the late 1800s, constructed in the local traditional timber style, using hard wood shipped from Belize.

After a brief spell as a mechanic's workshop in the 1990s, it was converted into the much-loved local restaurant that you find today.

Come and join your hosts Pati and Eric in one of the island's few remaining traditional timber houses. Enjoy fine food and drink, good company and a taste of the island's past...
