We spoke to Becky, who is an avid travel blogger at
Global Grasshopper. She has visited Grenada before and highly recommends 61 West to anyone visiting the south of the island; she commented a little further on her experience: "For a truly incredible location and sublime locally sourced food, head to 61 West located near Blessed Sacrament Church and the Grand Anse Craft and Spice Market on Grand Anse Beach in Grand Anse. The restaurant is located right on the beach, so absolutely perfect for watching the sunsets, and there's also a shower in case you want to go for a swim before eating. They have quite a diverse menu, including freshly caught catch of the day and the fish tacos, Plantain chips and superb cocktails are a must try too. The service is good, the prices are reasonable, but the location is out of this world - don't miss this Grenada gem!"
Some of the tantalising dishes you can try when experiencing the restaurant include Grilled Catch Burger with Asian Slaw, Asian Glazed Pork Ribs, Grilled Fresh Lobster Tail, and Jerk Chicken. The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 7 am through to 10 pm, so there is plenty of time to enjoy.
Rach and Marty from the travel blog
Very Hungry Nomads also recommended 61 West and the delicious cuisine and views that are on offer: "A great place to eat in Grenada is 61 West located on Grand Anse Beach. The views are stunning, and the menu has something for everyone. Don't miss the fresh salads (we love the super salad), and the fish tacos or any seafood dish is always a good choice. The ideal place to enjoy a cocktail at sunset."
