A small pink and violet house at Lagoon Road, just opposite the entrance to Port Louis. There isn’t any menu, they will serve you with a lot of small plates with different local food like Fishcake, Breadfruit Salad, Pork in Ginger, Crab Salad etc.. And Patrick is a very charming, fun and special person!

I’ve never been to Patrick’s but that review is typical of what I’ve heard about The Place and The Man. The man is Patrick Levine, and from all reports he is an awesome chef, and very gracious host. I’ve heard him called eccentric, charming, colorful, personable, and flamboyant to name a few. Sure sounds like he is as interesting as the food he serves.

What really distinguishes Patrick’s from other Grenada Restaurants is variety. For about US$23 you get to taste 20 different Grenadian dishes. You probably won’t find that anywhere else on the island.

Patrick’s Restaurant is located in the Lagoon Road. If you are coming from Grand Anse as you go pass the entrance to Port Louis Marina look for Patrick’s on your right.

Best to just call and get specific directions and also to let them know how may will be in your party. Here’s the number: 473-440-0364

Have you sampled Patrick’s delightful treats? What did you like (not like)? Leave us a comment below.

Eventually the Brandy finished, and the Caribs grew bored with the shiny trinkets, so they attacked and killed several Frenchmen.

Of course the the French did not take this lying down and decided to wipe out the Caribs. The Caribs last stand was at what’s now the town of Sauteurs in St. Patricks. As the European historians tell it, the few Caribs that were not killed refused to surrender to the French, and instead leaped over the precipice.

Hmmm… I wonder if the French didn’t just force the Caribs to jump… guess we will never find out.

The French called the precipice Le Morne De Sauteurs, which translated means Leapers Hill. Hence the reason the town that developed there is called Sauteurs. The hill is also referred to as Caribs Leap.

Okay enough with the history lesson for today. What you should know is that if you are in Sauteurs St. Patricks, then you should visit Leapers Hill.

There is a very nice museum of sorts at Leapers Hill that has a collection of Carib artifacts. I have pictures but you will have to go visit the museum yourself.

Ms. Patterson, the guide at the museum, with one of the paintings.

It will cost you about US$2.00 to get in, a small price to see and learn more about Grenada’s history. The museum is also an excellent vantage point from which to see the islands north of Grenada including Carriacou.

Excellent View and Atmosphere

One of the things Ocean Grill Restaurant has going for it that you will like is the view. I always thought Nutmeg Restaurant had the best view, but Ocean Grill’s view is 10 times better, and more accessible.

Both restaurants are located on the Carenage, but in addition to the scenery of the Carenage, at Ocean Grill you will also enjoy the view of the up and coming Port Louis Marina (Lagoon Road), and you can also see all the way down to Grand Anse Beach.

Here are some pictures of the view:

Food and Service… Two Thumbs Up!!!

The food was good. They did not over cook my fish.. thank goodness. Yes, that’s my litmus test these days. Far too many Grenadian cooks seem bent on cooking the hell out of a piece of fish. Like the dreadfully tasting thing, masquerading as a Grilled Sword Fish Steak on my plate at Nutmeg Restaurant.

I’m happy that Ocean Grill got it right… let’s hope they are consistent.

I had a fish sandwich with fries. The lettuce, tomato, and cucumber were all fresh, the fish was well seasoned and succulent, and the bread tasted like it just popped out the oven.

My buddy had stewed fish with sauteed potatoes and steamed vegetables. He loved it.

Our waitress got an A+.

• She was friendly
• She checked in on us sufficiently
• She got your orders correct
• And most importantly, she kept the Carib Beers flowing.

What more can you ask of a waitress?

Now go check them out

I don’t know what the mood is like for dinner, but from what I saw during the day, this is a good causal hangout to get some drinks, a bite to eat and catch up with friends. Great for lunch, or for when you need a break while on tour of St. George’s.

Give Ocean Grill Restaurant a try next time you are in St. George’s, and do let us know how you liked it. If you have been to Ocean Grill before leave us a comment below to tell us how you liked it.

Awesome Video of Underwater Sculpture Park

Interview with the Artist Jason de Caires Taylor

My Time at the Underwater Sculpture Park

Cold and Murky, but Impressive. That about sums it up. The water was so friggin cold I forgot I was in sunny warm Grenada. And the sea surge made the visibility difficult.

What can you do?…You can’t fight mother nature. It wasn’t our day.

But I must say that even with all the cold and murkiness, the park is truly an amazing piece of work. It’s quite impressive to look at the sculptures in real life, even though some of them got beaten up by the strong sea surge, and were thrown out of place.

I definitely plan to go see it again on a more pleasant day.

Getting to the Sculpture Park

Any of the Dive shops on the island can take you there. We used our friends Rachel and Adrian at Native Spirit Scuba.

Secret Sea Front

You are at River Salle, St. Patrick’s going to Bathway Beach. From River Salle Roundabout take the Bathway exit. A few yards on you will meet the cemetery, turn right at the cemetery towards River Sallee school adjacent (lying near) to the cemetery.

Stay on that road and drive pass the school. Do not turn left or right. Remember - its a straight drive ahead until you reach a steep hill - go over the hill. Turn not left nor right but simply go straight over the hill. From there you will see a stunning cream and red country villa, drive towards it.

Once you have arrived at it’s gated garden with assorted plants and flowers, keep you eyes upfront. In the distance, you will see a glistening blue sea welcoming you. If you go a few yards on you may park the jeep at the entrance of the rocky grass road, flanked by coconut grove, mango, sapadollia trees; shrubs and butterflies of all kinds .

It’s a refreshing and pleasant walk down to where you will discover this wild and amazing sea front.
Oops, mind the cows.
Forgot - there’s an estuary, it’s Glassie, that’ the name.

Have a lovely, whatever it is you wish to do - fish, walk or otherwise. If lost, ask a local to show you Liva Calbash - if you have to then you are lost.

Mona Monkey Grand Etang

But don’t you worry. You don’t run the risk of having a half rack of monkey ribs landing on your plate at your favorite Grenada Restaurant. To the best of my knowledge the Monkeys in Grenada are protected. And hunting them is outlawed. If this practice really do exist it most certainly is not widespread, and its done on the “down low” (in secret).

So a little background here. The monkeys found in Grenada are the Mona Monkeys. They’re not indigenous to Grenada. And it’s a little sketchy exactly when they were introduced to Grenada. Some say the Mona Monkey came to Grenada during the slave trade with West Africa, which by the way is the original home of the Mona Monkey.

The BBC Science & Nature describes the Mona as follows:

Mona monkeys have a brown agouti back with a white rump, a black tail and black outer-parts on the limbs. They have cheek pouches in which to carry food while they forage. The face is a blue-gray color with a dark stripe running from each eye to each ear, a white forehead and a pink muzzle.

The monkeys feed mainly on fruits and plants, but are know to also eat insets. That explains why the Mona Monkeys in Grenada became so desperate and disillusioned after hurricane Ivan. Their habitat was left in total disarray, and they were forced to stray further than usual to find food. Many more Monkeys than normal were spotted in the months immediately after hurricane Ivan, and this sometimes led to confrontation with Grenadians.

When you get to Grenada your best chance of seeing a Mona Monkey will be in Grand Etang. They really are a beautiful site, and they are not shy. You will also want to guard your stuff while they are around… it’s useless trying to chase a monkey through the bushes to retrieve your prized possession.

As far as I know Grenada is one of the few countries in the western hemisphere that have Mona Monkeys. They are a national treasure for everyone to admire (NOT eat). I hope you find as much joy in the Mona Monkeys as I do when ever I see one.

Many thanks to Jake Bellucci for graciously making his images (the first 3) available to this post.

Carib Sushi Spicy Shrimp Roll

Carib Sushi was much better than I would have ever expected. You may think to evade a sushi place in Grenada, or the Caribbean for that matter, but this place turned out to be one of the best places I have ever been to. They not only have an excellent eclectic sushi range consisting of local fish, but there are some other very appealing menu items for the non sushi lover. I found that to be one of the best things about Carib Sushi.

I got the spicy shrimp sushi. It was your basic California roll with fresh shrimp, fresh avocado, spicy mayonnaise, and lime juice rolled into sticky rice and sesame seed. The mayonnaise didn’t make it too spicy, it gave it just the right kick to the sushi. For those who are spicy shy there is also the regular non-spicy version of course.

Being an American I found the service to be some what slow, but for the laid back pace of the island I would say the service was pretty fast. Overall I would definitely go back to Carib sushi.

My guess is that you have never heard about Unwind Bar. Even my friend, a frequent Grenada visitor whose favorite beach is BBC Beach knew nothing about it.

You know what? Right this second I’m having second thoughts telling you about Unwind Bar… maybe I should just keep it a secret. Okay, okay that was my selfish streak imposing itself again… let’s just ignore it.

Yes, as I was saying, Unwind Bar at BBC Beach, also known as Morne Rouge Beach was a golden find…

3 things I really like about Unwind Bar

1. First, it’s on BBC Beach. Unarguably one of Grenada’s best beaches.




2. Second, the owners Rocky and his lovely wife are utterly fantastic folks (and good cooks). Their gracious hospitality shines through.




3. Third, the place is just Nice. Real Nice. And different. The name Unwind was a brilliant choice, because as soon as you arrive that’s exactly what you want to do,… leave your worries at the door, have a drink, chill out and unwind.

That’s how I felt on my first visit to Unwind Bar. I was hung over from a party at Club Karma the night before. When I got to Unwind I just sprawled off on a beach chair, under the coconut and tamarind trees; closed my eyes; and listened to the waves. Oh yeah, I also ordered a drink (gotta fight fire with fire… ) … okay just kidding, the only drink I had was Rocky’s formula for hangover –Angostura Bitters and Club Soda. And It Worked!!

Two Drawbacks

1. Unwind Bar is not open every day of the week. They open on most weekends, some holidays, and on days when they are catering for tour groups. So please call (437-407-0906) before you go, that way you can also make arrangements for lunch (try the Grilled Mahi Mahi with rice or the Pork Barbecue).




2. Taking size into consideration the volume of people that visit BBC beach each day is less than Grand Anse beach (Maybe that explains why Unwind Bar is not open everyday).

   The reason is simply because Grand Anse beach runs alongside the main road, and is therefore easily accessible to those without a car. To get to BBC Beach without a car, it’s at least 25 minutes walk (both ways), with a hill to consider.

   I translate all that to mean more space, and less disturbances on BBC Beach, which for me is a plus. So to some this is a deterrent, to others like me it’s a big plus.

Getting to Unwind Bar at BBC Beach

From Grand Anse Round About (Wall Street):
Follow the street that leads to Spiceland Mal, KFC, Coyaba, Spice Island Resort, etc. Go all the way to the end, turn left (passing at the police station). At the stop sign make a right turn onto the Morne Rouge road. Continue along this road passing the (Mount Cinnamon and Flamboyant hotels). Arriving at the intersection at the top of hill, turn left and then make a right at the 3rd driveway down towards the beach (Morne Rouge Bay commonly called BBC beach).

Already on BBC Beach:
There is only one public access to the beach which located at the extreme right end of Unwind Bar. Once at the beach walk towards the opposite end. Unwind Bar is located exactly center of the beach.

Check them out…

I went back to Unwind bar on two other occasions before I left Grenada. And I intend to make it a regular spot on future Grenada Vacations. Next time you are in Grenada give them a call (437-407-0906), and go have some good Grenadian food and drinks, in a lovely atmosphere, on one of Grenada’s best beaches

Hi there, we are from Canada, and we enjoyed the beautiful island of Grenada. It truly was an island of spice where everyone is nice. My husband and two kids (9 and 6) visited Grenada for the first time for one full week of relaxation and sightseeing. We loved it. We had a plan for everyday of the week, and made it to see the beauty of this island.

Grenada, amazingly is large, and in about half day trips, we saw lush and mountainous views, surrounded by the ocean. Wow!! What a sight it was.

We miss Grenada very much already and the kids remember everything we did.

• We visited Fort George and Fort Frederick
• We went to the Etang Lake Rain forest and were lucky to see the monkeys up close and personal…what a sight
• We also got a chance to visit Sauteurs, Leapers Hill, the waterfalls (which were amazing and beautiful); and we also visited Grenville

The countryside, and the friendliness of the people were wonderful.

The kids loved seeing Grenada’s culture, and the bus ride around the island was an experience to remember. We also took a taxi which was easier for us to certain spots, like the chocolate factory, where we were given a tour, and a lot of information about how cocoa is processed (we actually walked on cocoa beans barefoot).

Grenada we shall return, with your beauty, Grand Anse Beach, the lush greenery of your island, and the friendliness of your people…. keep smiling, and we miss you, land of spice.
