The Maldives is truly a traveller's paradise! In addition to exciting restaurants at top notch resorts, the islands are also home to a great selection of international restaurants.
Located at the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, Fisherman's Market is the perfect choice for seafood lovers. The restaurant stands out among other Maldives restaurants for their impressive selection of fresh seafood dishes that go straight from the nets, to the grill and on to your plate. The talented chefs at the restaurant mainly use a charcoal grill to create amazing dishes from the abundant seafood in Maldives. Be sure to have a meal here if you are in the Maldives.
