Mermaid Cafe, Seafood restaurant in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
Mermaid Cafe is a seafood restaurant on the Cox's Bazar coastline with outdoor dining areas that face the water and bay. The location places guests directly along the beach with tables positioned toward the sea.
This restaurant came into being as part of the Mermaid Beach Resort development and was among the first upscale dining options in Cox's Bazar during the 2010s. The opening represented a shift in the dining options available to the growing coastal community.
The kitchen uses traditional Bengali cooking methods for seafood dishes, blending local spices with fresh catches from nearby fishing villages. These preparation techniques reflect culinary practices that have been part of the region's food culture for generations.
The venue sits right on the beach and is easy to reach on foot if staying nearby or spending time in the area. The best time to dine is early in the evening when the light is still golden over the water and temperatures are comfortable.
Each morning, local fishermen bring their fresh catches straight to the restaurant's kitchen, which means the menu changes based on what is available that day. This ensures that visitors will never encounter the same menu twice.
