RSR La Tartaruga

Buccoo Village

Tel: 639-0940

Italian cuisine. Great dining hosted by a highly entertaining owner. Full à la carte menu with appetizers from TT$25 and main courses from TT$55. The 250+ Italian wines are the restaurant's real strength. Open Monday to Saturday (closed Sunday) from 6:30-10:00pm.

RSR Melange

Shirvan Road, Mount Pleasant

Tel: 631-0121

Average catering. Nicely presented, but everything rather pretentious. Menu prices on the high side. Extortionate prices for truly awful plonk. It is clear that nobody at the restaurant knows the first thing about wine. Attractive building in lovely garden but mossies are said to be a problem during the wet season.

RSR Mot Mot Restaurant

Auchenskeoch Road, Grange

Tel: 660-8879

Local restaurant, located between Buccoo Junction and Carnbee. Unpretentious Creole-fusion catering. Pleasant atmosphere. Large cocktail selection. This pleasant little restaurant is one of our favourites. The food has never let us down and you don't leave feeling you've paid over-the-odds for a mediocre experience.

RSR Patino's Courtyard Cafe

Shirvan Road, Buccoo

Tel: 639-9481

General reports are very mixed. Service can be slow and unfriendly and ambience poor as the restaurant is often empty. The included service charge covers "silverware, linen and glasses" and staff gratuities are not included. Open every day from 6pm.

RSR Pavillion Restaurant

Villas at Stonehaven, Grafton

Tel: 639-0361

Lovely setting overlooking Stonehaven Bay. Excellent international cuisine and wine. Somewhat expensive for Tobago, but general consensus appears to be that it is worth it.

RSR Seahorse Inn

Old Grafton Beach Road, Grafton

Tel: 639-0686

Generally regarded as one of the 'best' restaurant on the island, the restaurant sadly only performs well when the owners are present. Reservations essential for dinner. Open Every Day. Breakfast 8-10:45am, Lunch noon-3:30pm, Dinner 6:30-10pm.

RSR Buccaneer's Beach Bar

Grafton Beach, Stonehaven Bay

This beach bar/restaurant belongs to the Grafton Beach Hotel and Le Grand Courlan, but is open to non-residents for daytime drinks and light meals. Very poor quality food at inflated prices, with poor service to match. Given the stunning location, this is truly a lost opportunity.

RSR Cocrico Inn

Arnos Vale Road, Plymouth

Tel: 639-1476

Mainly Creole meals. Reports have always been less than encouraging. Certainly not enough to tempt us to give it a try.

RSR Fad's Homestyle

Shelbourne Street, Plymouth

A small buffet-style local restaurant, open for lunch, that serves authentic local dishes. Initial reports are very encouraging.

Reasonable local luncheons and light snacks in the evening.

Prices: Cheap — Quality: Average — Open: Lunch & Dinner — Chinese   

RSR Hollywood Chinese Restaurant

Shelbourne Street, Plymouth

A relatively new restaurant in Plymouth. Reports indicate they offer good-value decent-quality Chinese food either in their own air-conditioned restaurant or for take-away. Ready-made buffet or full menu.

RSR Papillon Chinese Restaurant

Auchenskeoch Road, Grange

Tel: 639-9941

A small Chinese restaurant offering both an eat-in and take-away service. Far from the excellent standards of the best Peking and Chinese fare available in the UK, but a useful facility for villa-dwellers in the Mount Irvine area.

RSR Peter's Restaurant & Bar

North Street, Plymouth

Tel: 639-1406

Peter's Restaurant & Bar is located on the Plymouth headland, near the sport field/jazz festival. Owner Eddy is a delightful gentleman and previously a chef at the Arnos Vale hotel. The premises are very unprepossessing and don’t be put off by the unlit entrance past Eddy’s bungalow and into the restaurant in his back yard. Worth a try!

RSR Pizza Boys

Pleasant Prospect

Take away pizzas. I once said that the best thing about this establishment is the ABM cash dispenser immediately adjacent. Positive reviews from some readers persuaded me to try it again in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and confess that quality had improved considerably - in fact the TT$40 medium Hawaiian was both great value and tasty.
