Armadillo

Grenada Island


Inside the guesthouse of the same name, this little restaurant serves some of the best meals on the north of the island. The gourmet menu changes according to what is fresh locally. There are only eight spots on the communal dining table so reserve in advance. Upstairs there are three tranquil guest rooms (US$125 to US$165) with sea views.
