A Great (Not so Pricey) Place for lunch on GC

[snorkelingsearchers]

Hey Guys,

 

We are planning on doing our own thing in GC, getting in some great shore snorkeling and buying some rum cakes - with this being a tender port it sounds like too much of a hassle to go back to the ship for lunch - so we want to have a couple of places in mind in case we get hungry. Any ideas?

We grabbed lunch at Royal Palms and it was tasty. Loved this beach area, the local beer and our bartender. All in all, a great way to spend the day.

If looking for a low cost meal on GC you'd best stay on the ship.... Remember the exchange rate is fixed at $1 CI = .80 US .... a fixed rate (she may look 20, but she's 16 CI). Even Burger King may sock it to you.

{A hamburer at $7.50 CI is $9 US ... a Red Stripe @ $3.50 CI is $4.20 US}

 

But .... I go to My Bar at Sunset House ....

 

too far for many and that's a strong point in my opinion.....first visit over 20 years ago and still my destination....next visit booked for May '10 (you might see crew here, but few pass' !)

Uh... make that US$1 = CI$0.80

 

A menu that reads $10 here normally means CI$10... that's US$12.50.

 

Some table service restaurants automatically add a 15% gratuity as well... so that CI$10 lunch is US$14.38 after the exchange rate and tip.

Thanks Guys!

 

My Bar seems reasonable enough. You just keep walking pass Eden Rock, right? I have just heard that GC is SOOO expensive - I don't want to drop $50 on lunch for two!

I 4 sure got my zippidy b4 my doodah on that one.

 

If price is in CI, add one fifth to get U.S.!

 

good thing I'm married to a CPA who handles the money....

 

Yep, Sunset is just a bit past Eden Rock ... 0.8 miles from town/tender landings
