Sheila's Pot.....

[Pianogrl]

Is Shelia's Pot open for lunch everyday or is it just random days/certain days?.....would you know a ballpark timeframe also?
This is another new lunch we want to try....heard it is fabulous!

She is open for lunch only, Monday through Friday. Go hungry, she gives you a ton of food.

She is next to the Band Stand just where the ferries arrive opposite where the taxi's line up in Cruz Bay

If you scroll down to the thread titled "Trip Tome - Part 3" (by Linward) you will see a photo

We've always enjoyed getting some local food when we've been on STJ. It's a whole experience that a lot of visitors miss out on. For lunch in Cruz Bay, in addition to Shela's, we've been happy with Patrick's and with Hercules. We always get to Sogo's for dinner. And we like to stop by Mooie's for a drink. We also used to stop by Cap's sometimes, but sadly those days are over.

In Coral Bay there are a few small truck/trailer/stand operations at the triangle. Fire Foods, in particular, turns out interesting stuff. The Sputnik bar has food sometimes and is a good place to stop for a drink and a very local experience. They also have live music sometimes. We've also always liked Sweet Plantains, which is sort of upscale local food.

When we travel we like to try what's unique to that place. We wouldn't think of going to the islands and eating Chinese or Italian or Middle Eastern food. We look for food that has something to do with the Caribbean and something that we're not likely to find at home. We also like to eat in the kind of local restaurants that couldn't exist back home.

Don't forget dining at the Tamarind, which is a favorite of mine, particularly on West Indian night. Brunch was good too.

Is Etta still cooking at the Tamarind?

What do you recommend ordering at these places? What are your favorite dishes?

Juliana at Sputniks makes a mean chicken roti - sometimes you have to stop by and ask her to make you something and then come by later to pick it up or eat it there so she can go about and gather up the ingredients. You won't be sorry.
