Places to eat in Caribbean and Central America

This is where food is served buffet style, pretty much, all day and the home of the famous Midnight Buffets. We never went but we'd watch folks line up for it. We'd have our breakfast there every day and it's where we'd stop by on our way back from the pool for soft drinks, snack and the ever popular "I've been drinking all night and I need some greasy pizza"!

I dubbed it "The Caf" as it so reminded me of a college cafeteria. And yes, it has a bar too!

Favorite Dish: The breakfast food I'd pile on my plate when hungover. It's nothing special; just unlimited and so not like what I eat when home and on one of my Perpetual Diets!

We stayed at the Hedonism 2 resort and the food that they served was superb!! But, we did venture out to Rick's Cafe and it was fabulous! You have to try the Jerk Chicken and Pork...to die for!
Of course, the atmosphere at the resort was 'anything goes' most of the time and that was great! Rick's is a full out party and the cliffs are great fun!

Favorite Dish: We loved the Jerk Chicken and Pork! The Bananas and Nuts was terrific too...it was sliced bananas cooked in rum then nuts were sprinkled all over the top...it was great! I loved the Fried Donuts for breakfast and the fresh pineapple was great too!

Went to The Inn at Roberts Grove for a special dinner. Very lovely. They even came and picked us up and took us back to town, since they are located outside of town.

All other places had great, althogh the names escape me now. inexpensive seafood. Lobster was very big, even though they are actually quite small and resember crawfish.

Favorite Dish: The coconut rice!! Yum Yum. And the drinks called 'panty rippers', which are cocunut rum w/pineapple juice. Never had a bad meal.

I think it's called Captain's Cove. It's not favorite because of the cuisine. I was engaged there on my second trip to Cancun in 1993. It has a great view of the sunset and eat on the deck if you can. The best food was probably at the Hard Rock Cafe and authentic Mexican in the downtown area. Although I would recommend Bactrim cause you WILL get Montozuma's Revenge!

The Cafe Impala is a great place to hang out to people watch while in Mérida. While their food is just basic cafetería food, they have phenomenal coffee and desserts. It's just so relaxing to go there at night to grab a sidewalk table and kick back!

Favorite Dish: café con leche
flan napolitano

IN BEQUIA
There are a number of nice restaurants on Bequia. At Mac's and The Whaleboner you can get lobster pizza. There's a neat old bookstore, two shops that carve world-class model boats, tee shirt stores, batik shops, a general store and a couple of nighttime party places. The people are most friendly and the island is unspoiled. Bequia is definitely a 'Come Back Again' place.
Admiralty Bay is a safe protected anchorage. Boats and ships of all sizes are in the harbor. Port Elizabeth was once a bustling whaling village, but now it's a yachtsman's port. Bequians have strong ties to the sea. They are the decendents of American whalers, Scotch sailors, French freebooters and African slaves. They are boat builders, seafarers and fishermen and they are intensely proud of their heritage.

Favorite Dish: lobster pizza!

Some of the best food in San Jose, Costa Rica was from a small Chinese restaurant behind the hospital. All the medical staff seem to eat there. Don't know the name of it, hope it is still there.
Cheap and a real nice change from rice & beans.

Favorite Dish: Chinese Chicken Curry & Chips. But also good veggie foods.

There has been an advent of fine eating places over the last three to five years and all are very expensive. Anaconda's is great (fine dining). For simple island fare try Sharky's, Turtle Cove Bannana Boat or at any of the places in the Ports of Call.
