Poushee Hotel & Restaurant, Seaside restaurant in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Poushee Hotel & Restaurant is a seafood-focused restaurant on Hotel Sayeman Road in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The building has two floors, and the upper level offers a clear view over the Bay of Bengal from most of its tables.
The restaurant opened in the 1990s, during the period when Cox's Bazar was beginning to grow as a destination for domestic tourists. It was one of the first places in Jhaotala to offer a sit-down dining room with a seafront orientation rather than a simple street-side food stall.
The menu leans heavily on seafood caught in the Bay of Bengal, which gives the food a strongly local character that visitors from inland Bangladesh often find new. Watching the staff bring out whole fish preparations at neighboring tables is a common part of the dining experience here.
The restaurant is easy to find on Hotel Sayeman Road in the Jhaotala area, within walking distance of the main beach strip. Arriving a little before mealtimes helps to get a table on the upper floor where the view over the water is best.
The kitchen is divided into three separate sections for vegetarian, meat, and seafood preparation, which is uncommon for a restaurant at this price level in Cox's Bazar. This layout makes it easier for groups with mixed dietary habits to share a meal without cross-contamination concerns.
