Located in a cave thought to be between 120,000 and 180,000 years old, Ali Barbour's takes dining al fresco to a whole other dimension. In the evenings, the restaurant glows in the muted light of candles, and diners' eyes are naturally drawn to the twinkling stars above. (Sliding covers are drawn to create a makeshift roof in inclement weather.)The restaurant founded by George and Jackie Barbour in the 1980s is designed to keep the natural elements of the cave intact, with only the kitchen and bathrooms modified for modern uses. Though the menu is international, seafood is the specialty. You can dine on a meal caught in the Indian Ocean, mere feet from your table, and possibly at the same sea level.
