Only on Saba will a taxi driver pick you up hitchhiking free of charge!! Of course I didn't realize I was riding in a taxi until she was driving away! But Miss Lollipop gave us great directions for a loop hike of Mt Scenery, and we stopped in for dinner afterward. The food was absolutely perfect, made with love, I had the Dutch traditional Kapsalon which I'd never tried (kind of like poutine- French fries, cheese, with meat and salad) and Dad had the red snapper special. All the food was to die for and the sides were perfect too. Love the quiet atmosphere here, we sat on the porch with the sunset. I highly recommend paying this spot a visit!!
It was winter 1999, and after trans versing the Atlantic from Norfolk VA to the BVI, off we went to sail down island. Saba was an early stop and turned out to be our favorite island in the Caribbean. Lollipop's restaurant was a highlight, as the owner, "Lollipop", after serving us dinner, sat and talked; her husband was the dishwasher in back. They had five children, she said, the earliest when she was fourteen. Her Mom had said , "I thought you were just playing together" when Lollipop turned up pregnant, and Lollipop said, "Well, we were?"
We loved the Caribbean, the weather, the food, the people, the style, and especially Lollipop!
Is she still there?
If you are not looking for anything fancy, but great food and services then This is your place. I really like it. and Lollipop/Carmen is really nice lady.
