Do you still go to the left from the BVI ferry terminal, to find the Greenhouse and Gladys?

From the BVI terminal go right, the Greenhouse will be facing the waterfront, you can't miss it. But honestly my best recommendation for lunch would be Cuzzin's on Back Street. Take a look at the Greenhouse (it's the closest if time is a factor) then if not, go right thru Raddets Gade alongside the Greenhouse and walk 2 blocks back and then 2 blocks to the right and Cuzzin's will be across the street. The best Caribbean lunch IMHO.

Thank you Poohwear, I will keep that in mind.

My fav lunch at Cuzzin's is a cup of their homemade chicken soup and then the shrimp creole platter with sides of cole slaw, fried sweet plantains and potato salad (also homemade), a glass or 2 of soursop juice (to die for) and finally a slice of the best rum cake in the Caribbean. My friend likes the same think only with the beef stew. Wishing for it right now!!!

Frenchtown , which is an even shorter walk from Tortola Wharf has a wide selection of casual lunch venues serving tasty food, as well.

Maggy - go here: http://www.virginislandsmap.com/stthoma ... index.html

It's a map of Charlotte Amalie and it shows the location of The Greenhouse and the ferry to St. John. Unfortunately it doesn't show Gladys', but she is about in the middle of Royal Dane Mall - right about where the "D" in Dane is. Hope this helps!

Thank you CG! That was just what I needed. Am going to print this.

Still find it so weird seeing all this Danish names on streets other things. I guess I'll practice tomorrow, as I am off to Copenhagen for a couple of days

Now I will be well equipped, searching for a lunch restaurant. Just hope the flight will be on time, so there will be time for lunch and enjoying the fact that we are there, after a very looooooong trip (Stockholm-London LHR - JFK - overnight - STT).

Hi Maggy!

We had lunch on Greenhouse and enjoyed it. Haven't tried the other places, which is recommended, so I cannot compare.

Have a nice trip to København and have fun with the Danish names in CA. So interesting to see the same names as in streets in Denmark!

Hi Maggy -

I know you've had quite a few replies, but I thought I'd add my recommendation for Gladys' place as well. Very good and more of a local feel in my opinion! We did however enjoy a few very cold beers at the Greenhouse last June!

Thanks Linne and Tracy in WI.

I appreciate all replies. Looks like we have at least two good options to choose from.

Linne, I will have a good time in Copenhagen. Unfortunately just job, but if you have the same great weather as we have here, I will enjoy a long walk in town (looking at street signs

) tonight.

I would have to add Hook Line and Sinker to your list. It is in French Town at the Marina were I work. You can see the Ferry Terminal from the Restaurant. Good food cold drinks and easy walking distance. It will meet all of your requirements.

Count me among the Gladys' lovers. The elegant lady who sings is not Gladys, is she? I thought that her name was something else. We always stop for our last breakfast on the way to the airport.

CaptainJay,

Hook Line and Sinker is added to the list.

BTW - I like your blog.

Also thanks Agent99. So many of you that like Gladys, it must be good.
