Here is a short Carriacou Review by Oliver Gray from Winchester, UK.

Sandy Island from Paradise Beach

We visited Carriacou seven years ago and dreamed of going back but never thought we’d have the chance. Here is the original article written back then.

Anyway, last week, we got the chance to revisit. We took the Osprey on a glorious day and found that nothing had changed, indeed, if anything, the vibe was even better. We spent a few hours on the aptly-named Paradise Beach and I swear the roti we had in the Hard Wood Café tasted better than the most expensive gourmet meal imaginable.

The only disappointment was that the fabulous Callaloo By The Sea Restaurant has closed down. Otherwise, the trip was confirmation (and we are very widely travelled) that Carriacou is the most beautiful place in the world.

Callaloo Restaurant’s Beach Side Leasure

How nice to happen upon this website….

I have to tell you I always like to see how well a cafe or stand does with their Roti’s and some make Callaloo or Pepperpot Soup….. Oh….My….Goodness!

This place can’t get a review on anything but its Callalloo soup = because I never got past it, it was Heaven on earth, “to die for” as we say here in California!

I wish I could have tried more items but my belly would not take more than three bowls at one sitting, and I didn’t want to risk missing out on enjoying as much of this nectar as possible.

I had it all over the Caribbean and this was on par with the best I’ve ever had, equal to that of a famous Chef in Jamaica that passed away about 8 years ago. I sampled this cafe’s fare, and couldn’t believe it!

I wrote an article for Lonely Planet on this subject, yet it wasn’t printed. Maybe a good thing as it can be our little secret, aye?!

Also the location right on the beach, and I mean right on it, is easy on the eyes too!
