if you’re on island, i hope to see you there!
we always love going to da conch shack, its the perfect spot to take our guests for a meal and it truly gives you a caribbean feeling, right on the beach with the perfect view.
plus, the food is amazing, you can eat everything conch; stew, curry, fritters, cracked and salad. i love the cracked conch for starter and the blackened snapper, locally caught snapper with a delicious spicy seasoning – and the fried plantains…so yummy!

last weekend, whilst we were moving, and were not really in the mood for cooking until our home was in order, we went to chinson’s for take away.
the menu is jamaican chinese, but we mostly like going on fridays and saturdays for their caribbean bbq.
it’s the perfect place for a casual dinner, listening to caribbean music and having a cold beer. the jerk pork and chicken are really good – and if you are a local foodie kind of guy/gal, you should definitely try their goat soup!
oh, and we do like going by on weekends to get some fresh bread or ginger bread.
are you a take away fan?
last week we had indian from garam masala, thai from thai orchid and jerk chicken from chinson’s – sadly i’m not a big fan of any pizza or sushi place in the island, my all time take away favourites…
james, who is a real take away specialist, loves the hamburger from fresh, the cracked conch from the market place and the fried chicken from sweet t’s.
my favourite lunch take away in provo since day one, are the salads from green bean.
