Is it time for another Caribbean vacation yet???
So for those of you interested in a nice trip to the Bahamas- I highly recommend the Atlantis. Besides my recent trip to the island, I went in March of 2010 and stayed at the Wyndham. Granted, the weather was nicer- there is a lot more activity at the Atlantis and more things to do around the area. (We took cabs every night to the Atlantis even though we stayed at the Wyndham)
The one bad thing about the Atlantis is it's prices!! You can find some cheap(er) food if you know where to look, but when it comes down to it- if you want to go to a decent place, you're going to have to pay.
Thankfully, during one of our "bad weather" days, we ventured Downtown in hopes of getting some shopping done as well as grab some lunch at a reasonable price.
We were *somehow* shopping at a jewlery store when we heard that Lum's Iguana Cafe located on the second floor of Prince George Plaza was a good place to grab a quick bite.
I was very happy to go to a casual place for lunch- I was pooped and really didn't feel like dressing up that day. What I was more happy about was the food!
I got the Fried Lobster Tails while Eric got the Fried Whole Snapper.
My Fried Lobster was good- I was very impressed with the amount of lobster I got! I got 3 full tails of lobster for $15 bucks! I couldn't really distinguish the lobster texture as it was fried so it upset me a bit because it really could have been any sort of seafood and I wouldn't have been able to tell. I was also able to choose my sides so I got some onion rings and fried plantains (yummmmmm)
Eric, being a bit healthier, got a side of vegetables and white rice. His snapper was amazing. The fish was most definitely fresh and although it wasn't seasoned with anything but salt and had no sauce- the flavor was incredible!
The winner was of course, the fried plaintains- but I would have to say that Eric was the overall winner this time with his dish. Priced reasonably ($14) for all that food, the fried snapper at Lum's Iguana Cafe is great!
Looking for someplace low key to eat? Try out Lum's Iguana Cafe next time you're on the island!
