Backyard Café
Chef Delven Adams cooks market-fresh Guyanese dishes in his backyard; included in TIME's 2026 World's Greatest Places list.
Set in the chef's own garden backyard on Rose Street in West Ruimveldt. Chef Delven Adams appeared on National Geographic's Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. The menu follows the day's market produce in a chef's-choice format, typically including pepperpot, metemgee and grilled fish. You can also go to the market with the chef before choosing ingredients. Reservations are required, made in advance via Instagram or phone, and you should state which meats you'd like. Expect to spend about US$20–40 per person. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre.
