To each their own. Everyone has different tastes and likes. We love PP's. It's usually the first place we eat dinner upon arrival on the island. It's fun, it's vibrant, and they have good seating for larger parties. Good food with good service and good prices. Obviously it has something or there wouldn't be 'so many fans of it.' Some people like Fig -- we didn't care for it at all. Some people don't like Izi -- we enjoy it very much. That's why they have so many restaurants. Just like beaches, everyone has their personal favorites. The OP asked a simple question of what restaurants one would choose upon only one visit to the island. No reason to comment on a place you DON'T like or try to figure out why someone else might like it. Variety is the spice of life.
