Restaurants

This has long been a favourite with Caribbean food fans. Lovers of Barbadian food, for example, will appreciate coo-coo (cornmeal mush) and stewed fish. A dish of creamy polenta with okra and coconut milk, with red fish cooked in a rich tomato, pepper and red herb stew, was sumptuous and almost perfect. Curry fanciers will be impressed by the dhalphouri rotis delicate Trinidadian flatbreads stuffed with ground split peas and served with fillings such as curried chicken, goat, fish or vegetables. And it's refreshing to visit a Caribbean restaurant where under rated dishes like fried sprats (commonly known as fry dry'), Tobagonian curried crab and dumplings, and St Lucian lobster are at the heart of the menu. Service was not unfriendly, but it was quite slow. The bar is a bit cluttered and untidy, and could do with updating.
