Legendary Guyanese FOOD TOUR in Georgetown, Guyana!! Exotic Cow Heel Soup and More!!

My third morning in Guyana dawned bright and early and kicked off with an unforgettable food tour of iconic Guyanese favorites!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I started at Sunny & Sweetie Roti Shop, which is known for having some of the best Creole food in Guyana. It’s a nice, open-air shop that offers saltfish and bake, chicken curry with coconut choka, dal, provisions, okra, and more. We ordered a bit of everything!

We had a mix of breakfast and non-breakfast items, including pachownie (curried sheep belly) with roti, saltfish and bake, fish choka, baigan choka, and chicken curry with dal and rice.
We started with the bake & saltfish. The fish is fried with onions and tomatoes and you eat it with the bake, which is a fluffy bread. It’s the perfect breakfast on the go. I could eat it every day!
The baigan choka is a smoky roasted eggplant. It was amazing! Eggplant is my favorite vegetable in the world. I loved the pepper in it! Next was the fish choka with roti, which contained a splash of lime juice. I tried a wiri wiri pepper with it, which added a nice kick. I loved the green onions and diced fish!
The pachownie was so meaty, tender, and soft! You pair it with roti. I loved Guyanese roti, which is flakier than the roti I was used to having everywhere else. It had a very organ-like flavor.
Next was the chicken curry with the dal and rice. Everything was incredible together. I loved the coconut choka mixed with the dal and rice. It was perfect together. Adding a bit of pepper sauce gave it a kick, but not too much! My favorite of all the dishes was the pachownie!
Next, we drove 15 inutes to the most famous bakery in the country, Maggie’s Snackette. Inside, they were making tons of pastries, including pine tarts (pineapple pastries). Simon showed me how to fold one properly! They also made cheese rolls with a cheese spread inside. They make between 1000-1200 pastries per day here!
Then, I attempted to make a cheese roll before it was time for us to try them. This place has been around for over 20 years and they’ve perfected their recipes.
The pine tart was flaky and buttery, with the incredible pineapple filling adding a nice sweetness and acidity. I loved it! The cheese roll had the same dough but the filling was hot and cheesy. It had melted right into the pastry! I liked that it was fresh and piping hot, but I liked the pine tart better.
The chicken patty was basically a little pie containing shredded chicken, corn, and other vegetables. It was small but overloaded with filling!
After that, we headed to our final stop of the morning, German’s Restaurant, which is a buffet-style restaurant. They’re famous for their soups. They had three: chicken soup, cow heel soup, and beef soup. You can also have dumplings and provisions, or you can mix the cow heel and beef soups if you want.
I started with mauby, a drink made from tree bark. It was fragrant and refreshing. I followed it with their cow heel soup. It’s a thick, hearty soup containing potatoes, cassava, duff, and cow heel. It’s a great pick-me-up! I really liked the gelatinous cow heels.
Finally, we ended with metemgee, which contains fried fish, duff, plantains, steamed onions, and coconut broth on the side. We added the broth, which blew my mind. The duff was nice and soft, and I loved the cassava. This was real comfort food!

Trying Guyanese STREET FOOD for the FIRST TIME! ???????? First day in GUYANA! Completely UNEXPECTED!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???????? BACKYARD CAFÉ:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
Back in July of 2022, I explored my 90th country, Guyana, beginning in the capital city, Georgetown. Come with me on my very first day in the country as I get my first taste of Guyanese food and explore the capital!
For this trip, I teamed up with Visit Guyana and Discovery Guyana. Our first adventure together was exploring the Bourda Market, followed by a trip to the famous Backyard Café. Inside the Guyana Shop, I saw items made by local women, including achar, cassareep, crafts, pepper sauces, and more.

???? MY LINKTREE:
The pepper sauces looked amazing. They come in passionfruit, mango, and other flavors. I wanted to buy some. I also saw some cassava bread in packages, green seasoning (for seasoning meats), rubs, sauces, curries, extracts, spices, honey, local wines, and coconut biscuits.
I tried a coconut biscuit, which had a nice crunch and a slight sweetness to it. Lots of dishes here are made with coconut!
They then showed me some Limacol, which is considered a cure-all in Guyana. It’s sort of like Robitussin! Then, we headed into Bourda Market. There were tons of fresh fruit and vegetable vendors selling bananas, massive ripe pears (avocadoes), starfruit, watermelon, pineapple and more.
I loved the juicy and sour starfruit, which they use to make a traditional black cake. They call starfruit “five finger” in Guyana! Next was some fresh pineapple, which was so sweet and tasty! It’s the best pineapple I’ve ever had! I followed that with some amazing papaya.
Bourda is a drive-through market, so there are cars as well as pedestrians. Further on, we saw some okra, Guyanese cherries (which were nice and sour), sweet cassava, turmeric, and bottles of peppers. I tried a bite of a really spicy pepper! Next was a super sweet sapodilla fruit.
Then, we headed to the meat, fish, and poultry section, where the vendors were cleaning tons of fresh fish. It reminded me of the wet markets I’ve visited in parts of Asia. They also had some massive catfish, gray snapper, and more. Further on were different cuts of beef and then the household section of the market.
This market dates back to 1876. Then, we went to get some fried fish and pepper sauce! The fish was nice, and the pepper sauce was spicy with a bit of lime. It wasn’t too heavy. I loved it! It had some real heat to it!
Next was some fresh coconut water with cask-aged rum. It was so delicious! Then, we drove 10 minutes to the Backyard Café, which is reservation-only. They grow herbs all over the grounds. There’s a bar and a table outside, as well as an indoor section.
I watched them make rum and punch with passionfruit, lime, vodka, rum, gin, and ice. It was the best rum & punch of my life! I loved the sourness and the refreshing taste!
Next, we started making egg balls. They started by rolling out the cassava dough, which they cover a boiled egg with. Then, they drip it in a turmeric-rich batter and drop it in the hot oil. They fry until they’re golden brown! You eat them with a delicious sauce containing mango, garlic, vinegar, salt, and wiri wiri pepper.
The crunch of the coating was incredible, and the cassava inside was creamy. The mango sauce was fantastic! It was an amazing Guyanese street food! We followed that with some sorrel, which is a refreshing cinnamon and pimiento drink typically eaten at Christmas.
Then, they made the pepperpot with beef, cassareep (a byproduct of cassava), garlic, ginger, thyme, cinnamon, and more. It’s the national dish and you eat it with coconut bread. It was incredible. It had a syrupy thickness and the meat was unbelievably tender and tasty. It fell apart in my mouth!

The Best Late Night Food Tour in Georgetown, Guyana!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
My first day in Guyana continued with a late-night street food tour of the capital, Georgetown! Come with me as I try some Guyanese street food after dark!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I started our late night food adventure on Sherriff Street, where we’d be having local fast food! It’s the place to go for quick, easy, and tasty foods!

Our first stop was Crazy Burgers, where you can buy burgers, fried chicken, and more. They built us a burger with ketchup, cabbage, red onion, garlic mayo, mustard, and a mountain of grilled boneless chicken, topped with shredded white cheese!
The burger was exceptional. It was juicy and creamy, with a prominent garlic flavor. I added a bit of spice to mine, which made it peppery. It was so delicious, but I had to pace myself!
It was raining hard that night, so we waited a bit for it to calm down after a guy from a food truck across the street invited us to try his burgers! At King & Queens Bar-B-Que, we saw that they had chicken and beef burgers, grilled beef, milkshakes, and more.
They’d be making us their special Hawaiian fish burger. Their slogan is “One bite and you’re hooked!” They deep-fried some onions and fried us some eggs. I tried their super spicy pepper sauce, their special house sauce, and their amazing barbecue sauce.
They toasted the bugs, added a creamy relish, and topped it with the fish dipped in the barbecue sauce. Then, they add turkey bacon, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mustard, pineapple, and the egg.
This burger was massive and full of contrasting textures. It was finger-licking good! I loved the garlic in their house sauce. The spice level was subtle and the pineapple added a nice acidity and sweetness. It was the perfect tropical fish burger!
Next, we drove less than a minute to Wild Burgers, where they make wraps and burgers. I watched them make a chicken wrap, but we’d be getting a beef burger. They use ground beef and add hot dogs, ketchup, pineapple, onion, mustard, and an egg. It’s a massive, messy burger that looks almost like a Sloppy Joe!
The burger was so good. It was so saucy, but I had to add a bit of spicy sauce. The fluffy bun absorbed everything. The toppings fall out as you eat, so I couldn’t help but lick the paper. It was unbelievable! What an awesome, calorie-filled street food tour of Sherriff Street in Georgetown!

Exotic GUYANESE INDIGENOUS FOOD Traditional VILLAGE in JUNGLES of GUYANA!
???????? VISIT GUYANA:
???????? DISCOVER GUYANA:
???? VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
After a few days exploring Georgetown, Guyana, I headed south to visit an indigenous village to dive deep into the local culture and, of course, try some of the local cuisine!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I headed to Moraikobai, which is a village in the rainforest, roughly 4 hours southeast of the capital. It took an hour-long drive and a two- to three-hour ride on a speedboat to get to the Hubudee Eco Lodge, which has two rooms.
????SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER:
???? MY LINKTREE:
We’d get to see some indigenous people make cassava bread, tuma (a fish dish), and cassareep (the main ingredient in pepperpot) being made. There, we met Gary, our local guide, who took us to see a local woman scraping the skin off the cassava roots and washing them. Then, they grate it and place it in a wicker contraption that extracts the liquid!
They extract the juice to dry the cassava out enough. They then put it over a fire to completely dry it out and crumble it into a powder, which they then place on a tawa over a fire. Then, they boil the cassava juice to get rid of the cyanide in it. Then, it reduces to form cassareep.
They also made quinches, which is made up of the cassava powder patties folded around shredded reddish coconut. You can also boil the cassava juice to make a soup called tuma, which contains wiri wiri peppers and smoked fish.
The quinches were toasty and had a nice crunch. I loved the fresh cassava and coconut! Then, it was time for lunch at the lodge. We stopped at a hubudee tree, where Gary pulled down some fruit that you peel with your teeth to get to the meat. It’s pretty sweet but it doesn’t contain much meat because there’s a large seed inside.
We had two types of tuma (one smoked, one fresh), a hard cassava bread, a soft cassava bread, and a pine drink for lunch. The cassava bread absorbs the cassava juice quickly. The cassava juice is a little spicy and smoky!
The best part of the smoked fish was the skin. It was delicious! Then, we crushed some of the wiri wiri pepper into the tuma with the cassava. It was such a unique flavor. I’d never had anything like it! The wiri wiri pepper was spicy!
The fresh fish was bony but very buttery. The fresh pine juice was also very nice and not too sweet. It was really refreshing!

The Kaieteur Falls Platter is the biggest seafood platter in the city. It contains red snapper, scallops, crab legs, lobster, prawns, calamari, baby octopus, and corn on the cob. They have some outdoor seating and a bar.
They fried some fried snapper and put the shrimp, crawfish, lobster tails, calamari, some potatoes, the crab legs, mussels, and baby octopus on the grill. While it cooked, I headed to the bar to have a Hurricane, which is made from passion fruit mix, lime juice orange juice, white rum, and simple syrup.
I ate in the kitchen where it was quieter. They placed everything on a big platter and drizzled the juices and a garlic butter sauce over it. Everything looked incredible. The mussels and shrimp were so succulent. I loved the Cajun seasoning. Everything was so fresh!
I couldn’t get enough of the calamari, and the lobster was amazing with the garlic sauce. The crawfish were also excellent. Then, it was time for the snow crab! There was some nice meat in the knuckles. I really liked the meat inside, as well as the potatoes.
The corn was also nice and buttery. It reminded me of the corn I grew up eating!

West INDIAN FOOD TOUR!! Trini and Guyanese Food in Orlando, Florida!!
???? JON:
???????? SINGH’S:
???????? LEGENDS:
???????? BAKEWELL:
During my quick road trip to Orlando, I hit up a several Caribbean spots since I was craving the food after my trip to Trinidad and Tobago! Come with me on my West Indian food tour, where I try Trini and Guyanese food!
Joining me was my friend Jon, a.k.a. DJ Jon Jat, who would be taking me to have West Indian food at spots all over the city!
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
We started at Singh’s, a Trinidadian spot where we’d get to have some doubles and aloo pies! In the back, we met Angie, who showed us the cooks frying baras, curry for boneless chicken, and more!
After adding the chicken and chadon beni, it cooks for 30 minutes. Elsewhere, they were filling, rolling out, and grilling dal puri. I tried to do one myself!
They have tons of options: mac & cheese, Trini chow mein, jerk chicken, baked chicken, peas and rice, chana, dal, lo mein, egg balls, bacalao, beef curry, oxtail, curry chicken, curry shrimp, pulao, aloo pie, and more. It was a fusion of Indian, Chinese, and Caribbean cultures!
The doubles had a fluffy bara and sweet tamarind. Adding pepper sauce added a ton of spice! Jon’s aloo pie with beef. My aloo pie only contained chana, and adding tamarind made it sweet and savory!
I had a refreshing banana solo with it. Next, the dal puri was great with the shrimp curry. The oxtail was so tender it fell apart. It was great to mix everything together! The flavors and textures were unreal!
Next, we drove 10 minutes to Legends Resto & Lounge for some Chinese and Guyanese food. In the back, they showed us how they make their pineapple fried rice with shrimp and pork, lamb fried rice, lo mein, pepper lamb, pepper shrimp, and roast pork!
The roast pork and the sauce took me right back to my time in China. It was sweet and tangy! Meanwhile, the flavors of the pineapple had permeated the pineapple fried rice. It was too good!
The pepper shrimp were also massive and juicy. The pepper lamb was saucy and almost like the pork in terms of flavor, and the flavors in the lo mein blew me away.
I’d never seen lamb fried rice in my life, but it was unreal. It was so unique. I loved the short grain rice, the sauce, and the peppers. It wasn’t very spicy, but the sauce was very glazy. The fried rice dishes here were unbelievable!
Next, we drove back toward Singh’s to Bakewell Food Court, a Guyanese bakery that sells plait bread, sweets, tamarind balls, sugar cakes, and more.
There, Steve told us that it’s a food court concept and sells everything you could possibly want, from pizza and chicken to curries to sweets and breads!
We ordered a cassava pone and a salara. The cassava pone was a cassava cake, while the salara looked like a fluffy, sticky cake with sugar syrup on the outside and coconut on the inside.
The salara was layered and super sweet! It was like a coconut cinnamon roll, but with coconut. The cassava pone wasn’t as sweet, but was more like a banana bread. It would have been great with some ice cream on top!

Eating WEST INDIAN FOOD in LITTLE GUYANA!! Queens, NYC
???? SHIVA:
✈️ CHECK OUT MY TRAVEL BLOG:
New York City is arguably the largest and most diverse cultural melting pot on the planet. The cuisines of over 100 countries around the world are represented in its restaurants. So when I got the opportunity to go on a food tour of the Little Guyana neighborhood, I jumped at the chance! Come with me as I go on a Guyanese food tour of Little Guyana in Queens, NYC!
Our journey began on Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard. Liberty Avenue is the mecca for Indo-Caribbean cuisine in New York. Shiva is Trinidadian and took me to have the ultimate Trinidadian breakfast at Tropical Jade 3.
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
I could see shrimp, goat, duck, rotis, and more there. It’s a diner-style restaurant with a long buffet where they serve you. We ordered the doubles (thin, stuffed flatbreads), roti, buss-up shot, dal puri, bake & saltfish (fried pastry stuffed with salt fish), curry shrimp, and stew pork.
My Sorrel soda tasted a little like cranberries and Shiva’s banana soda tasted exactly like bananas! First, we jumped on the doubles, which were doughy and contain chickpeas and chutneys. They were very spicy! I loved them with the spicy hot sauce!
Next was the baked & saltfish. It contained bacalao, or codfish and was a little fluffier and had more texture than the bread in the doubles. The spicy sauce took it to another level! The stew pork was chunky, fall-apart tender, and went great with the roti.
The large roti with the curry shrimp was excellent and was more of a light, stew-like curry. I also liked the potatoes in the dal puri. But the curry shrimp gravy was out of this world!
Back outside were displays of fruit and vegetables outside a supermarket. We walked past nail salons, sari shops, Pooja shops, fruit vendors, and more shops selling cultural items. I could hear Hindi music coming from a lot of them. We stopped inside a sari shop called Henna Fashion Inc. Everything there was beautiful!
From there, we continued on an stopped at a coconut vendor outside. He cut the top off so I could drink the water inside. It was super refreshing! Then, he cut it open so we could eat the cool, filling meat inside! It took me right back to Asia!
At Anita’s Fashion Pooja Center, we saw statues of Hindu gods as well as Indian bridal gowns and other clothing. Then, on 123rd and Liberty, we headed to Avenue BBQ Hut. In the kitchen, they made us some BBQ lamb and BBQ chicken platters with barbecue sauce and garlic sauce over a bed of fries.
The BBQ lamb was delicious and high-quality. I loved the barbecue sauce and the fries underneath. It was my first time having barbecued lamb and it blew my mind! I couldn’t get enough of it!
We followed that with some sparkling apple juice and then jumped on the chicken. It fell right off the bone. One of my favorite Caribbean chicken dishes ever!
Then, we headed past bakeries, shops, and more to Fiwi Foods, a food truck on 124th and Liberty selling jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtails, curry goat, and more. But we were heading to Little Guyana Bake Shop. Shiva even gave me a Backyard Republik gift bag!
We made a quick stop inside Singh’s Roti Shop & Bar, a famous roti shop with a huge menu. Everything looked amazing! We tried a crisp Carib lager and quickly checked out Sybil’s Bakery & Restaurant.
At Nest Restaurant, we got che chi kai chicken, two types of wontons, fried chicken with rice, and more. The che chi kai chicken was light and crispy, and the jerk chicken wontons were great. I also loved the Chinese chicken fried rice. The blueberry & cream cheese wontons were so unique!

1763 Monument:
THE 1763 MONUMENT PROUDLY STANDS in the Square of the Revolution in the Guyanese capital of Georgetown. Unveiled in 1976, it commemorates the Berbice Slave Rebellion of 1763, a major event in Guyana’s anti-colonial struggles.
On February 23, 1763, a slave revolt broke out in the Dutch colony of Berbice in what is now Guyana. At the time, the colony consisted of approximately 350 white colonists, 250 enslaved indigenous people, and almost 4,000 black enslaved people. Should a rebellion gain any traction, the colonial rulers would therefore find themselves in no small amount of trouble. And that’s exactly what happened.
