Arts Cafe

 Arts Cafe



The day started out to be a very 'Art' themed day, 

Trini Limers Crew, all had our teeths cleaned at 

Smile Art Dental Clinic and after a speedy cleaning, proceeded to go for lunch.

On the hottest day recorded on the weather charts in Trinidad and Tobago, 

Trini Limers Crew battled the heat from the intense sunlight on Wednesday 4th October 2023 to visit The new and elegant Arts Cafe on Rahaman Drive to the very front of Maska Compound in Gulf View, L.R. Trinidad, (The Previous Arts Cafe was a quaint building previously located at the always festive for food! Twin Walls SMR, La Romaine, San Fernando). 

There was ample parking and we quickly ran through the blazing hot sun to be greeted by a very kind receptionist in the Art Cafe's very awe inspiring modern luxurious decor and lots of Artwork on the walls from Famous Artists and the New fledgling budding artists that artwork adorned the Art Cafe's walls. (Look out! San Fernando Art Council and Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago! ).

We arrived and was quickly seated by a very kind and very shy waitress and we were served the Trinidad and Tobago Restaurant Week Menus,The restaurant filled quickly about 5 minutes after Noon, we were kindly asked by various waitresses and two male waiters if we were ready to order but there was so many options and we asked for more time but as October is Ancestor worship Month with Hindu's Pitr Paksh, Irish Celtics Samhain/ Halloween and 
Christian All Souls Day in this October's Calendar and fasting and 
various rituals being observed, The staff was very mindful of this period in time and what was available and we all decided to have the

Pan seared Salmon with Mashed Potato and Gravy and steamed Veggies with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette with a can of Sprite. 

While we waited on our order we all sketched and coloured artwork by famous artists which turned out to be featured on the walls and also a Gandhi Meme Artwork which was flipped open in the catalog and funny enough one of our crew members celebrated his birthday on the Mahatma's birthday too.

The food was very tasty and was very filling and the price was as expected and worth every dollar, The young staff was very helpful and kind and coming out of their shyness and learning to smile 😃 as they asked if we needed anything various times and we were greeted by one of the Manageresses who left the kitchen to make sure we and other diners were being taken care of, which we greatly appreciated.

We enjoyed our first visit to the new Arts Cafe Restaurant and during Trinidad and Tobago's Restaurant week and Highly recommend it for all Artists and Lovers of the Arts of all ages.

I Scream for Ice cream, Gulf City Mall, Gulf View, La Romaine,City of San Fernando. Welcomes Soody's ice cream shop for locally made ice cream, coffee and desserts, they have joined the ranks of Willie's Ice cream, TCBY Treats, Gelato ice cream shop, to have graced Gulf City Mall. It is accessed from the North Tower Parkade and you can take the futuristic elevator to the 1st Floor and exit towards the west and look for the sign. The prices for ice cream range from $25 and up with as much as 15 flavours to choose from all made with local ingredients, I got the $73 Chocolate Milkshake although one of the  ladies that served me recommended the caramel. When I arrived the shop was empty but with in seconds the floor was packed with parents and their children and singles and the odd couple and the rare Guerilla Gardener Tanty passing through that sold me the Jahaji Bundle diet, a two bundle of bodi to curry and eat with some Sadha roti later.
