Restaurant & Bar
Fresh seafood, coastal flavors, and a view that feeds the soul
Every Meal Supports Conservation
At Prawns Lake Restaurant, we believe great food and great ethics should go hand in hand.
Our kitchen sources fresh seafood directly from local fishermen using sustainable practices, while vegetables and spices come from nearby community farms and gardens.
Every meal contributes to mangrove restoration, creek cleanups, and supporting local conservation livelihoods.

Signature Dishes
Our menu changes with the seasons and the catch of the day.
