Eating
Posted March 15th, 2007 by adminLemongrass
Lemongrass was an instant hit the moment it opened, in late 2005, for its scrumptious cuisine (owner Mike Thompson and Lydia Kimmerling worked in restaurants in Indonesia and Thailand) and its location (above a dive shop and at water’s edge; it is the only restaurant in town with an elevated waterfront view). While not exactly fancy, Lemongrass is one of the few places in Bocas you’d feel like a toothless hillbilly entering this spotless establishment looking like you’ve just come from the beach or a tree farm (there are many on the islands). Adding to appeal of the place is a cozy lounge often featuring live music. The restaurant takes credit cards (not all of them do, but there are two ATMs in town), and the service is spot-on. About the only thing not to like about Lemongrass is the menu; with so many mouth-watering choices, choosing something can be tough.

One needn't be an expert in rock materials to know that the sand at Boca del Drago is not world class in the way, say, that the sand at Cancún, Mexico, is, being that Cancún's sand consists of ground-down sea shells that stay cool all the time. But Drago's quartz-based sand is lovely all the same and some of the best Isla Colón has to offer.
