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/h3 mph); “(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
- Eat at busy places with fast turnover, and drink sealed or filtered water.
- Ask the price of fish, lobster and conch before you order: they are priced by weight or by the plate.
- Check the bill for a 10% service charge and for tax before you tip (check).
- Carry small US dollar notes: change is often in lempira.
