having already been there for drinks a few times, i had to try the f lounge for lunch. it is perfect for a quiet and relaxed lunch, situated at the turtle cove marina, and with a delicious tapas menu. my favourite were the spaghetti with lobster and squid ink, the cheese croquettes (both pictured above), the goat cheese spring rolls, the baby octopus and the chicken canneloni.
i’ll gladly come back for lunch with friends or an early tapas dinner – how i love my neighbourhood!
hope you had a great weekend and weren’t too cold, if you were off island…
we had some friends over from new york. it’s always nice to have a visitors and enjoy the island from their point of view – we had a relaxing lunch at da conch shack, had fun shooting starfish and relaxed at the beach and went out for dinner and drinks.
we even went on a mini road trip to the amanyara resort, it is just 30 minutes away, but since we moved to provo, everything further than 10 minutes becomes a road trip for us!
it was a nice break from our usual island life. the resort is secluded, it is quiet, calm and relaxed and perfect for a drink at sunset – seriously they have the best mojito on island.
we were lucky enough to arrive just in time for some whale watching – humpback whales migrate through turks and caicos during this time of the year. i have to say it is exciting, seeing them passing right in front of the beach club at the resort!
i hear amanyara will soon be opening their beach club for non residents and they have this amazing new pizza oven – i can’t wait to go back for pizza and a mojito, great combo for me!

my friends from caribbean imports are now importing spanish products to turks and caicos. they have brightened my days – i can now find the best spanish cheeses and pata negra ham in the local supermarket (IGA)!
i have just gotten myself another of their products, some flavoured sea salt. the luxury edition has five little boxes – perfect to go with salads and bbq dinners (in provo, they sell it at lemon 2go coffee). i can’t get enough of the black olives one!
happy friday friends!
this was a good week – wrapped up some projects, had a nice dinner out and didn’t miss my yoga, but i am glad the weekend is here. have a good one!
ps – did you see my post over at salvaged grace, i met erin during blogshop, last september in new york and she was kind enough to invite me over to guest post on her blog – thanks erin!
