Very tasty food at this place.nThe homemade dumplings are excellent.nHowever, a small downside, they came together with our main courses..;)nBut this did not detract from the taste!nnThe butter chicken curry was nicely spiced and the meat was tender.nThe KFC burger is a cracker! Everything was right.

A magical beachfront restaurant! The perfect spot to enjoy the magnificent sunsets. The food is delicious (the mini burgers are so good), the cocktails are delicious, and great musicians liven up the evenings. Not to be missed when you're in Popoyo!

I have been to Popoyo a few times and have to say this is so amazing. Food service and location, in fact everything ticks all the boxes as amazing place to eat. The only issue is I can’t eat everything off the menu in one go.. very good value for money. Super friendly and helpful. Always consistent. The opening hours are fantastic too. Always guaranteed to be open in the opening hours
