You must make a point of eating here while you are in Tobago! This is excellent cuisine at a price much more affordable than nearby competitors. This is a small restaurant and you must make a reservation to eat here. They are not opened at night on Mondays and Tuesdays but do serve lunch.Chezelle and her mother opened the restaurant about 5 years ago and Kerry is a recent addition. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and asked about making a reservation. Unfortunately there was nothing available prior to our leaving Tobaga but Kerry said, "Can you come tonight at 7pm? and Do you like Shrimp?" We thought they were fully booked for the evening and were fitting us in. It turns out they had not planned on being open but stayed open just for the 2 of us.Kerry cooked a Shrimp Pasta dish for us. Mine was in a tomato sauce with roasted tomatoes and my husband's was in an Alfredo sauce. The dish was Chef Worthy and the flavors were delicious! Kerry told us that he had flambeed the 16 (8 each) Jumbo Shrimp using rum as well!! When we finished dinner and realized that we were the only people in the restaurant, we thought we should leave so that the owners could go on and enjoy Sunday School down the road. They asked us to stay and visit a while - my husband had the homemade ice cream for dessert and I had another glass of wine.This place is meticulous! There is an interestingly lit waterfall that creates a lovely ambiance for your dining experience. Be sure to go here! You will love it.We are extremely pleased that you had a fabulous time. Looking forward to welcoming you in the near future. Team Cafe Down Low

Have been going here for reviews. Have recently invested money and improved the ambience inside. Add mist sprays which are amazing in the hot weather! New chef is very good and food was excellent. Lovely friendly staff too. Beautiful setting on the beach. Great choice of cocktails too.

This is a lovely little restaurant overlooking the water. We ate here for dinner and watched a couple of local fishermen in their boats while the sun set over the Caribbean Sea. It was beautiful and picturesque.When you come here everyone recommends the lobster - for good reason. The lobster is amazing! Itâs freshly grilled in a light butter sauce and cooked to perfection. I had a mid sized lobster which is heaps for one person. For starters my husband had the garlic bread and I ordered the prawn cocktail. Rather than baguettes, the garlic bread is several toasted buns lathered with garlic butter. They were very tasty. The prawn cocktail is also slightly unconventional as itâs coleslaw topped with pan fried shrimp in a lovely sauce. My husband loved these.For main, my husband had fish and chips. The fish is fried in a coating of seasoned breadcrumbs rather than a traditional wet batter. We also had a serve of wedges which was a substantial portion and very tasty.For dessert I finished off with a coconut ice cream which was made by the owners auntie. It was delicious!Service is great and the lovely owner who is originally from Shepherdâs Bush, London is both personable and very welcoming. The restaurant itself is tiny, with rustic charm and only has four or five tables.Overall it was well priced with the total bill coming to around 500 TTD (@ £60) which is amazing value for two starters, two mains including a good sized lobster and dessert. There are several things worth noting when you eat here:1. The restaurant only opens if someone books a day in advance. We werenât aware of this and tried to eat there two days running before we finally worked it out.2. The restaurant does not serve alcohol so if you would like an alcoholic drink with your meal you can bring your own. A small shop across the street sells wine, beer and spirits if needed but does not have a wide selection and is only open until about 5pm.3. The restaurant is open air and so there are lots of mosquitoes. The lovely owner lights lots of mosquito coils/ candles and has mosquito repellent if you need it - but forewarned is forearmed.4. This is a cash only restaurant so please make sure you bring enough local currency as cards are not accepted.Overall I thought this restaurant was one of the highlights of our visit to Tobago. Not only does it have a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea but it has some of the best (if not the best) lobster that iâve tasted. Definitely worth a visit!

Fabulous beach side dining with fresh seafood, premium ingredients, an awesome wine & cocktail list, and great personal and attentive service.
Reviewed By SarahSook
I had the pleasure of having dinner at this restaurant recently with my family. The food was great, portions we're quite large, drinks were on point, and desserts were lovely. Service was attentive, quick and friendly. Ambiance was beautiful, you can hear waves crashing on the shore. A few tips: definitely make reservations, the restaurant fills up around 7pm; if you have children, the tables have lit candles so be careful, also the ladies room does not have a baby changing area, high chairs for kids are available upon request. Be aware of the climate of Tobago, being tropical and humid: the restaurant has a lovely outdoor dining space and open verandah but with the weather, it may be humid. Overall, a fantastic experience. Would visit again.

We found Honeys on Trip Advisor, and although it is a bit off the beaten tourist track, it is well worth finding! The owners, Cyrus and Nancy, are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent - as well as being the most reasonably priced restaurant that we visited on Tobago.As well as the regular menu, they also offer a range of 'platters' which are big enough for 2 people, and having tried the Pork Platter on our first visit, we can confirm that they certainly are! We enjoyed Honeys so much that we returned for a second visit and tried the shrimp in creamy garlic sauce and the pork ribs - again, both were excellent.Nancy also makes a very fine rum punch amongst a splendid range of cocktails!Recommended..Thank you Pepper [and Mark] for your review. We were very happy to have you at Honeys. As for the pricing we try very hard to keep prices reasonable while at the same time maintain a high quality product. Hope to see you on your next visit to Tobago.

We had an amazing meal last night at Makara. I definitely recommend the fish of the day - mine was blackened barracuda and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The coconut curry sauce was the perfect pairing. I went all in for coconut and ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert. Real cream and real coconut - seriously delicious.

This restaurant is part of the well known boutique hotel which takes a holistic approach to living and eating. If all you're interested in is some tasty food it doesn't disappoint, even if it's on the pricier side.We went on buffet night which I think is every Friday and you get to taste some unusual vegetarian food alongside well presented fish and meat. The jazz fusion band didn't turn up unfortunately but there is a delightful garden round the back for a pre or post-prandial walk
