3 Best Restaurants in Guam

The South Americans love their beef, and this lively Brazilian eatery—a meat fiesta for carnivores—celebrates this fact. The house specialty in this popular and lively place is rodizio, various cuts of meats flame-grilled on skewers over a charcoal barbecue. The staff keeps delivering dishes to your table until you tell them to stop. Other notables include steaks and spare ribs. There are also seafood alternatives, too, along with—whisper it quietly—a vegetarian option.

You may be several thousand miles from the Caribbean, but the tropical Jamaican creations served in this bright, airy, and popular restaurant fit Guam's laid-back island mood perfectly. There are several branches across Guam, but this is the most convenient to Tumon Beach. The menu is extensive, but the beef ribs and jerk chicken are favorites among regular visitors. The red rice is also highly recommended, especially when served with the fresh-catch-of-the-day seafood option. Service is efficient, and you can't beat the reasonable prices. It's popular for take-out, too.

This is arguably the most popular restaurant on Guam, so call ahead for a reservation. But if you do turn up without one, you can add your name to a waiting list and pass the time (usually no more than 30 minutes) on the nearby beach. Inside the bright, lively dining room, you only have to look at all the happy diners around you to know the food is delicious. A favorite appetizer here is the Beggar's Purse (fresh sushi-grade tuna encased in a pancake and served with wasabi). The barbecue main dishes are highly acclaimed, and the extensive menu also features burgers, salads, steaks, risotto, and even Alaskan king crab. Save room for the excellent desserts.
