We of course sat on the patio to take advantage of the amazing view, listen to the waves, and just relax in this Carriacou restaurant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04063.jpg\" alt=\"beach view from callaloo restaurant carriacou\" height=\"238\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>Look at the view of this Carriacou Beach from Callaloo Restaurant<\/p>\n<h3>Lunch Menu<\/h3>\n<p>The lunch menu was quite affordable even including the (10% service charge and a standard 8% government charge), and it looked great. <strong>Here are a couple things on the menu<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Callaloo Soup (but of course)<\/li>\n<li>Fish Fingers<\/li>\n<li>Spiced Wing Ding: chicken wings in homemade hot spicy fruity ding sauce<\/li>\n<li>Fish (Chicken or Lambie (Conch) ) Grenadine Lunch<\/li>\n<li>Fish (Chicken or Lambie (Conch) ) and Chips with salad<\/li>\n<li>And more &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Yum Yum It&#8217;s Food Time&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>We skipped breakfast that morning rushing to catch the <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/osprey-ferry.html\">Osprey Ferry<\/a>, so we were hungry and made our selections quickly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"float_content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04070.jpg\" alt=\"callaloo restaurnat carriacou\" height=\"146\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had the Lambie Grenadine Lunch (with potatoes)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"float_content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04071.jpg\" alt=\"callaloo restaurant carriacou\" height=\"150\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mia had the Fish Grenadine lunch with rice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"float_content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04069.jpg\" alt=\"callaloo restaurant carriacou\" height=\"141\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and Ryian deciding this time to stick to her American heritage-she had the Chicken and Chips (French Fries).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The food arrived in typical Grenadian style. As you can see the salads were included on the plate right along with the rest of the food. That is very typical in Grenada and no surprise at this Carriacou Restaurant. So if you don&#8217;t like that be sure to ask your server to separate them.<\/p>\n<p>Also if you do not specifically ask for the salad dressing that you want, don&#8217;t be surprise if you receive your salad with a dressing already on it. This did not happen at Callaloo Restaurant, but it&#8217;s a heads up just in case you are picky about those things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our food was delicious&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04077.jpg\" alt=\"callaloo restaurant carriacou having lunch\" height=\"246\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>As you can see Mia polished off her Grenadine Fish<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>Ryian was a <em>little disappointed<\/em><\/strong>. We all were surprised when <strong>her chicken and chips (fries) showed up with stewed brown chicken instead of fried chicken<\/strong>. She enjoyed it, but really would have preferred fried chicken.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/callaloo-restaurant-carriacou-sm-DSC04076.jpg\" alt=\"ryian having desert at callaloo restaurant carriacou\" height=\"243\" width=\"324\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe they were out of Fried chicken, and substituted it with Stewed Chicken (without asking?)&#8230; or maybe that&#8217;s the Carriacou restaurant version of Chicken and Chips &#8230; who knows? <\/p>\n<p>So if you are planning to order chicken and Chips it would be a good idea to <strong>first find out how the chicken is prepared.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And<a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/carriacou.html#INV\"> if you do try it please let us know if it was any different, and if you liked it.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Two Thumbs Up??<\/h3>\n<p>We certainly think so. Callaloo restaurant was a good choice, and a nice experience. If it wasn&#8217;t for <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/paradise-beach.html\">Paradise Beach<\/a>, we might have just wind down our Carriacou Day Trip right here with a couple drinks. Plan to visit this Carriacou Restaurant when you are there, you won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Know of a Better Carriacou Restaurant??<\/h3>\n<p>As much as I liked Callaloo Restaurant I am a sucker for trying out new places.
