    Dawn's is the Bomb!

    My husband and I were in Placencia for a month. Dawn's was a favorite of ours, especially anything with fish! Loved the space. Very down home and local.

    I agree with previous travelers. You don't need to reserve, but if you in a group, then just stop by some time before meal and book for the many of you. Most especially, enjoy your meal! :)
