  • 1. Last Refuge

    $$$$

    Locals hold this fish and seafood restaurant (known in Hebrew as Hamiflat Ha'acharon) in high regard and take their guests from "up north" here as a real treat. The dining room, with dark paneling and nautical motifs like ships' wheels, spills out onto a spacious balcony where diners eat beside the water, looking at Jordan across the way. Presented with a flourish are fish or crab soups, freshly caught charcoal-grilled Red Sea fish, and creamed seafood served in a seashell. A specialty here is stir-fried sea crabs, prepared with a bit of spice in olive oil and garlic. Weekends tend to be extra busy, so it's smart to reserve several days ahead (and to ask for balcony seating).

  • 2. Les Sardines

    $$$

    This chic bar and upscale fish restaurant overlooks the harbor at the Eilat promenade, offering white-tablecloth dining indoors and out. Recommended starters are gravlax and seafood carpaccio. Steaks are a choice entrée, but innovative, attractive fish presentations are the star of the show; portions are generous. The friendly, attentive staff can recommend a nice pairing from the extensive wine and beer menu.

  • 3. Pago Pago Restaurant

    $$$$

    This crowd-pleaser began serving in 1986 from a boat in the marina before occupying a striking, nautical-looking building (it resembles a ship) with walls of windows overlooking the water. The fusion of South American, Asian, and Mediterranean influences creates interesting menu options. Seafood soup or seaweed salad makes a good starter, and seafood main courses include Brazilian moqueca, a fish stew made with coconut milk, and shrimp and calamari gratin with artichokes and garlic. Steak and sushi lovers have good options, too. Pair your meal with a bottle from the impressive list of regional wines.
