Why Travelers Love Bibi's On
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.4 / 5.0(1,257 reviews)
My spicy chicken wasn't spicy, so I was bit disappointed. Decent but still disappointed. Staff were excellent any attentive and the view is to top notch Pleasant experience at this restaurant! Piña Colada was a total hit (and super cheap during happy hour) and fresh lobster was also very delicious and reasonably priced. “Away from it all” location with paradise-like 180 degree panoramic view of islands, surf, and water—and not too many speedboats to interrupt your enjoyment. Creole octopus is good. Servers can get a little overwhelmed if they are dealing with multiple large groups at the same time, but I went twice and didn’t see the unfriendliness that some reviewers have mentioned. They’re also very tolerant of people just staying for hours, so factor that in if you’re wondering when your order will arrive. They can call a water taxi for you. “Take me to Bibi’s” is immediately understood on any of the docks in Bocas Town!

Fish fillet in coco and curry is my all time favorite here. It’s my go-to unless I want to switch it up. The veggie burger is legit as well. That’s my backup. Cocktails are on point and $2 beers… what? Definitely come here. Like all Bocas restaurants… don’t expect super fast service. Enjoy your drinks, take in the views and put your phone down and chat with your friends at the table. You know the owners are doing something right if the staff have clocked in decades of work here. 🙌 Bibi’s 👍🏾
