Hardest Hard Eatery
Hardest Hard Restaurant & Bar
A blue-and-yellow family eatery on Latorce Road, under an almond tree, serving a rotating Creole home-cooked menu. It is packed with locals at lunch.
Located west of central Castries along Latorce Road, the blue-and-yellow facade sits under an almond tree. According to the owners, the same family has run it for more than thirty years, and the owner, Evelyn, is warm and chatty. Only three or four main dishes are available each day, rotating among Creole fish, goat stew with rice, grilled pork chops, oxtail soup and pumpkin soup. They are served with rice, beans, green banana and root vegetables, plus freshly squeezed juice. Prices are very low: one diner paid EC$30 (about US$12) for a plate of Creole fish and a beer. The setting is simple, and the dining room has no windows. Lunch sells out quickly, so arrive early.
