The Almond Tree, Castara
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 11:35 am
I've been meaning to write about this eating place since we got back!
It was opened very recently and is run by Vera and her family. It's located at the back of the main beach between the Naturalist and the beach facilities, under an almond tree. I believe Vera previously had a Roti place further up the village.
We had lunch at there on many days and some evening meals as well. The food is very good and plentiful and Vera and her family are friendly, kind and attentive. They don't sell beer etc, but you can take your own. Vera does make some lovely drinks though, fruit punch of various sorts and a drink made from bark, I think it was called "mauby" (sp?).
Lunch could be eaten in or take-away and was usually fish, chicken or vegetarian roti. Fruit and or ice-cream for afters. Very good value.
Diner was also a chioce of fish, chicken or vegetarian and came with a large variety of local vegetables and salads. Again fruit and/or ice-cream for afters. All very tasty.
It was also a great place to sit and chat and watch the local activity - not that that's very active, being Castara!
