Picks are computed from Voykit's own fields (walk-in windows, seating, diet, price band, booking). A place already picked for one category is passed over for the next when another qualifies; price-based picks never are. A category without a qualifying place is left out rather than filled.

Walk times are straight-line estimates (×1.3 for streets, 5 km/h); “(area)” means the cluster centre, not the door. Diet “ask” means possible with care; Voykit has not tested cross-contact.

House rules for eating here

  • Book dinner in advance at guesthouses and restaurants; kitchens plan around a small number of guests.
  • Shops and cafés close at lunchtime and on Sundays; buy what you need the day before.
  • Ask what is fresh: the island's food follows the ship, the flight and the catch.
