Ocean Kitchen is a serene, open-air restaurant located on the pristine sands of Inani Beach, approximately 40 minutes from the main town. It serves as the in-house dining venue for The Anchor Eco Resort but is open to all visitors. It is widely praised for having one of the most direct and unobstructed sea views of any restaurant in Cox’s Bazar. Unlike the crowded establishments in the city, Ocean Kitchen offers a tranquil dining experience where the sound of the waves accompanies every meal.
