ASADOR LA CHUMBERA MIchelin Plate IIO Update January 2026: Asador La Chumbera has moved from its original place just outside Agua Amarga to a new spot overlooking the beach in what was previously the Restaurante Playa.

THE FISH SHACK @ TALAMANCA Also known as Chiringuito Sa Punta, a tiny shack on the rocks perched delicately at the sea’s edge at the very end of Talamanca beach, this is hard to find, as there are no signposts or a roof.
