Octo Caribbean Grill is a dinner restaurant in Bocas Town, Bocas del Toro, that puts the flavors of the islands at the center of the plate. The kitchen works with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the result is creative Caribbean cooking that guests talk about long after their trip.
Grilled seafood is the specialty, especially the red snapper and the octopus. Don’t miss the roasted breadfruit on the side, and save room for the house desserts, which are as inventive as the mains. To drink, try the Jamaican rose (sorrel) drink, with or without a splash of Abuelo rum. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team loves to share the stories behind each dish. It ranks among the best restaurants in Bocas del Toro for a special dinner.
Octo is open Mon to Sat from 5pm to 10pm, and closed on Sundays. Reservations are a good idea in high season.
From Saigon Bay it is a short taxi ride into town. For sunset drinks before dinner, head to El Ultimo Refugio, or see our travel guide for more.
