Maria's was a welcome change from the horrible food at Kempinski. Hot plate beef, chicken, fish all cooked by yourself at the table. It was a fun experience for my partner and myself. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Just a short walk uphill from the Kempiniski.

Fantastic local creole food, especially the hot plate fish fillets which you cook yourself! Amazing flavours and you are given a stand and a hot plate which is heated by a large candle underneath. The fish is served raw and you place the fish and trimmings on the hot plate to cook. The best meal I have ever tasted!!

it is an amazing place not only to eat but also to expore the arts and sculptures of Senior Antonio who is staying next to this place and get inspired by his work and life.

We had a wonderful lunch at Maria's Rock Cafe. The stuff was very friendly. We cooked our own seafood and had a nice coffee.

Unique place and outfit, delicious food on lava stone and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. A bit hard to find, but every local will help you.

It is a good option to eat at if you live at the Four Seasons or the Leela as it is close by. Not worth going all the way just for this. Food at the Four Seasons wasn't the best, so this was a decent option.

I enjoyed the experience of cooking my own food. The service was very good. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a tour through the Pirate House after my meal.

The unique experience of cooking yourself is really enjoyable, and lots of fun. Maria, the owner, is very friendly and the food (we cooked) were delicious.

Staying in the vicinity for 8 nights in Feb 13 we went to Marias after a couple of nights then had to return on our last night as it offered the best value for money about and yet lost nothing in quality. Cooking on your own hot plate did cause some concern to the wife but once we had instruction... More
