Capricorn-San Pedro

During our time on the Cayes, we ate at many different restaurants. On holiday, we choose to eat at a new place every day, no matter how much we may love it. On this trip, that ranged from street vendors to beach bars to family-owned joints and this one very nice place called Capricorn. (I can’t include all the places we ate at, so feel free to contact me if you need more details.)
It was our last night, and I had read great things about this RESTAURANT, which, by all accounts, is the best restaurant in the Caribbean.

The resort of Capricorn has just three cabanas, so it is very small, intimate, and set in its own private cove, so making dinner reservations also involves getting a water taxi to get you there in style. (Otherwise, it’s a pitch-black back road full of potholes, which we had peddled along during daylight hours.)
Our hotel did all the leg work in reserving everything, and at 8pm sharp, a small boat came to get us from the beach and ferried us to the Capricorn. On arrival, the sun was setting and the boardwalk was lit with Tiki lights. The restaurant itself was beautiful, all wood, with thatched roofs and palm trees.
Where all the people came from, I have no idea, but the place was really busy, and even though rain threatened, we chose to sit outside. This turned out to be a fantastic choice, as a breeze blew in from the ocean and a lightening storm entertained us out over the ocean.

We had wine and bread to start. I had the fresh fish of the day, which was snapper, whilst Karl had the stuffed grouper. I have to admit that whilst mine was good, his was delicious. The food wasn’t cheap, but for the ambience and quality, it was well worth the splurge. My fish was BZ$38 (about US$19), and Karl’s a little more.
All this was washed down with more wine, fresh coffee, and rum cake.

Our experience would end here, but as we ended and paid up, we found our boat taxi sitting patiently waiting for us. It was late now and pitch-black, and as the speed boat whisked us off, we became enveloped in the dark sea and dark sky, a few rain drops hitting us - it was a little freaky!!! But in a cool way, which added to this being one of our best memories!!
