Akasha is a beautifully constructed, two-story restaurant, done in a tropical chic style. To get there, we took a five-minute water taxi from San Pedro which, in itself, was a fun experience. The food and drinks were just on another level relative to other restaurants we’ve been to in San Pedro. Everything is super fresh and done with great technique. We liked it so much we’re going back in a couple of days! Highly recommend!
Akasha RestaurantResponded on February 22, 2025

Fresh ingredients and expert technique are at the heart of everything we do, and it means the world to hear that our food and drinks stood out among your San Pedro dining experiences. We can’t wait to welcome you back in a few days for another unforgettable meal!

What a fantastic experience at Akasha. The service is excellent. Cocktails are wonderful. And the food is 10/10. Had the catch of the day. Empanadas are a must have. Stone crab claws. And all reasonably priced. Highly recommended
