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

  • Ask what is fresh; the choice depends on the catch and the boats.
  • Eat early: many kitchens close by 21:00.
  • Carry small US bills for small eateries; cards work at larger places.
  • Coconut crab and some reef fish are protected or seasonal: ask before ordering and follow local rules.
