The restaurant experience in Georgetown and its environs is a pleasing one. Standards are better that you'd expect and you can't beat the quality of food.

Lambada Bar,Providence. Good calamari when they have them.

..................................................................................................

Didn't know they have calamari in GY, love fried calamari.  Nice thread Marty.

What's the average price for a meal at these places?

Sunil, The young lady talkin bout TK, he love to boast about his IQ and Degree.

MARTY  it sound like you had a nice holiday all over the country but with all that eating you need to hit the gym

Call them (592-233-5481) before you go to make sure they have the calamari. Tell them not to fry it for too long.

I didn't want to  burden everyone with too much details on my earlier posting but since you asked ....

Exchange rate in Guyana: 1 US$ = 200 G$. From now on all prices will be in G$.

Lotus Restaurant, Timehri Airport: 2 egg curry with potatoes, 2 rotis, 2 Banks beer and 1 soda = $1,600.

Qik Serve: Curry chicken with roti = $517. Curry beef with roti = $431. Breakfast (egg, toast, plantain chips, sausage, coffee) = $603.

Many thanks for your comprehensive answer, Marty. Looks like you remember everything you ate. The prices are quite reasonable when converted to US$.

Marty surely had a great time---and he remembered everything he ate and the price.

NICE POST MARTY---VERY INFORMATIVE.

Thanks for all the Info . we going this year .

Be on the alert with Caribbean Airlines especially on return flights to NA. Return flights for two of my relatives were changed with little or no warning. One was told to come back to Timehri the following day but were not told what time to show up at Timehri. The flight for the other was advanced 8 hrs and the only way he found out was his son happen to look at his e-mail in NY and saw the message from the airline.

In my case I just happen to call them a day before departure to ensure my son and I were seated together and was told that the 9:00AM flight has been replaced with a 10:30AM flight. This normally is not a problem but the arrival in TO was a 1/2 hr after my connecting flight had already left. After spending more than an hour on the phone talking to different supervisors I was put on an earlier flight at 6:00AM that connects thru Piarco and arrives in TO with time to spare allowing me to go thru immigration & customs and shuttle over to Terminal 1.

For those of you who are not familiar where the check-in is for Caribbean Airlines in TO, it's in Terminal 3, counter #417.

While in Guyana call this Caribbean Airlines toll free # to confirm your flight: 800-744-2225 for both flight information & reservation. 

If you get bumped keep your cool and kindly ask for the supervisor. You will achieve more this way than blowing your top.

I would like the opportunity to teach this young lady how to appreciate her parents food and some manners of speaking.  Or, should I say leave her to Nehru.
