The Fig Tree
A family-run local eatery next to Mac's Pizza, serving Bequia home dishes such as curried goat, with live music by the sea at times.
Located at the far end of the Belmont waterfront, right next to Mac's Pizza, and run by owner Cheryl Johnson and her family, with warm service. The menu focuses on hearty local food, with curried goat served with rice, plantain and other side dishes as the signature. In high season there is a 'Fish Friday' fresh-fish special every Friday, and some evenings feature live music by the sea. Prices are more affordable than at beach-resort restaurants, making it a good choice for travellers who want authentic Caribbean home cooking. It is about a 10-minute walk along the waterfront from the Port Elizabeth ferry terminal.
