Frommer's Review

This little eatery is a closely guarded secret among locals. It's reached by heading up Melville Street to a modest three-story building overlooking the sea. The chef, Deyna Hercules, resembles her namesake. Her savory stuffed crabs are the island's best, and you'll see her other specialties scribbled on a countertop chalkboard. She's known for her "fix up" -- a sampling of the best food of the day, perhaps stewed fish, green plantains, and curried goat. She also serves Grenada's national dish, an "oil down," made with salted meat and breadfruit cooked in coconut milk. And where else could you get a tasty batch of titiri, minnow-size fish just plucked from the Caribbean? Wash them down with "bush tea" steeped from black sage leaves. Adventurous diners opt for one of the gamey specialties such as manicou (a cross between an opossum and a large rat).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
