La Playa Beach Bar and Bistro

Reviewed By richarde171

Arrived at la playa for lunch in off season having read some broadly positive reviews. The two female staff were completely disinterested, if not resentful, of our arrival. We were the only customers. I enquired about various items on the menu but nearly all were”unavailable” and I resorted to “well what do you have?”. It was clear they were completely disinterested in preparing lunch so we abandoned plans to eat there but felt bad about walking out so said we’d stay for a drink. My kids ordered a soft drink, I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a mojito cocktail (one of her favourites). When the latter arrived the initial appearance was concerning (photo) she made the mistake of tasting it - it was utterly revolting and undrinkable. I think it was most likely a defrosted frozen version?We felt extremely unwelcome - the two staff were rude bordering on hostile. We will never go back there. There are plenty of places to eat and drink on the island where the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s a real shame as the location of the bar is great and it has a lot of potential - a change of ownership most definitely would help. I’m just glad we didn’t eat there.

Callaloo Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By Vinny C

Having just returned from Carriacou this morning I thought it only fitting that I write this review. My nephew and I ate at the restaurant on Monday, we were served by the lovely Trevlyn who made us feel welcomed and tended to our every need. The drinks were ice cold as expected and again served with a smile. We opted for the smoked ribs and shrimp both came with a choice of rice or chips and salad. After eating we wanted to speak to the chef to thank her for serving such a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting. I would without doubt recommend the restaurant, I even met the owner days later and congratulated him on the service. My only recommendation would be a finger bowl to wipe my hands when eating the ribs, some might say you should use your cutlery but I prefer to get stuck in with my hands. I'll be back

Butterfly Bar and Pizza

Reviewed By Ralph O

We went there couple of times. Very friendly. Modest place but very clean. Some 'interesting' folks in the regular clientele. I guess they thought the same about us, especially after my companion's chair collapsed. Beach side, but in the main street (Hillsborough beach runs parallel to the main street, though mostly only accessible through establishments) Nice chap explained pizzas would take a while. Indeed they did, but boats, birds and above all people to watch. And beer to drink! Fabulous pizza, quite nice chicken. My pizza was huge, despite my ordering the smaller version. They do what one would describe as well known pizzas with a Caribbean touch. Conch pizza anyone?

Off The Hook Bar & Grill

Reviewed By Lisa R

The best word to describe Off the Hook is "cool", which is really what you're looking for on vacation... the guy who works there is very laid back, a regular guy, easy to chat with, and you can tell he likes what he's doing... we've been to Off the Hook a couple of times, in May 2017, and in July 2018, and on our last visit, we were virtually the only customers, as the summer was edging towards low season... we bought his last half bottle of white wine and had a fish fry with potatoes, an excellent lunch on a beautiful still unspoiled beach (especially when there aren't too many tourists around) ... we'll surely be back next time we're in Carriacou...

Waterfront, open air seating facing the moorings on Tyrrel Bay.

The Restaurant offers different dishes that may vary from day to day. The quality of the meals is excellent and they are worth their price. The service is very friendly and efficient.Reservation is not required but recommended.

Since the Ferry dock has moved to Tyrell Bay, folks will have to catch a No. 10 bus to the main town of Hillsborough. When alighting from the bus, as you walk to the road, you will see us, on the main street, almost opposite the Flow phone store. There is

Was extremely disappointed with our lunch sandwiches today. Friend and I ordered a BLT each. The bread was not toasted properly, we both opened our sandwiches to see the bacon and to our horror , it was little sprinkles of bacon . For the price you pay , it's absolutely disgusting. I asked to speak to the owner , whom is a fellow South African to be told she's not available. Sadly I didn't have my phone with me to take a photo. Dear Angela, I am so sorry you had to have this experience in the Cafe. If you addressed this to the staff, they know that if you have a complaint, it should be directed to me, if I am not available to refund your money or redo the order. I had just arrived back from overseas and had a few problems which I thought had been ironed out. If you do come back this way, please let me know, and I will refund your meal, or make another one to your satisfaction. Again apologies.

Lazy Turtle

The Lazy Turtle Restaurant & Pizzeria has had to close permanently on 31st August 2019 due to end of lease.

Reviewed By Manatee4Me

For good pizza on Tyrell Bay, Lazy Turtle is the place to go. If you are not a pizza fan, you might be disappointed. I ordered Lambi fitters, which were light on the Lambi (conch) and a little greasy, plus seafood chowder, which was ok. The others all had pizza and I tried a slice, which was good. My advice is, stick with the pizza at Lazy Turtle!

Contemporary Caribbean Dining with international flair. Bogles Round House is a memorable Experience well worth uncovering.

Reviewed By Cristoforo_CLondon

... I had the worst meal (if you could call it that) that I've had in a 6-week trip in the Caribbean and I haven't been eating in upmarket places. Don't be fooled by the menu on the website which I thought looked fabulous - that, I was told, is only Friday and Saturday. The menu I was presented with had the choice of 4 ok-sounding starters and 4 mains: burgers, fish n chips, chicken & some pasta dish for veggies. I mean, how exciting is that? Not. I opted for chicken. I don't come to the other side of the world for food I can get on my doorstep: fish in batter (my local chippie does a good job). So not their local mahi mahi or lionfish - nope, none of that. So I go for chicken local style ... unimaginative but usually good, I think. How wrong can you get? Dry, tough n leathery. The chips were no better than 4 out of 10. I didn't order the dessert - by then I'd lost the will to live. Trapped inside an old stone roundhouse with a tree in the middle. Stylish maybe, and cosy for a British winter Sunday lunch. But on a perfect evening in the Caribbean with a to-die-for blood red sunset, there are only two tables outside, both of which were taken. I wanted to cry before I saw the menu, I wanted to howl after I saw it. And I only just made it back to where I'm staying in Tyrrel Bay (take my advice, go there!!) before my insides reacted in distress too.I’m really sorry you were not happy just to be clear we do a break down menu on Wednesday which is on our website which I know you saw because you booked on line you did not book a outside seating,we don’t have any pasta dishes on any of our menus we did not have any Mahi Mahi on and we certainly don’t ever do lion fish if your food was not to your liking I’m sorry about that you could have send it back or tell your waitress about it where on the menu did you see chicken local style
