Last week-end, Julie and I, along with her parents who are visiting from Montreal headed to the Eastern part of the island. In fact, we headed to what used to be our favorite restaurant of the island. Let me explain. I made a post a long while ago about restaurant Portofino. Well, this place is now under new Australian (an Australian expat) management. It is now called Tukka. This was our first time eating at the “new place”. Let me tell you that we were not disappointed and its stellar standing in our favorite restaurants stands! We went for the Sunday all you can eat brunch!
Here is some of the food! Notice the sushi’s with the little Australian flag (bottom left) Those are with Kangaroo meat. Quite original (I liked it)
Some of the desserts.
From our outdoor table, a large Cormorant was hunting and was hovering over the water for a few minutes. It was a good show.
Our group and the lovely view of the ocean ; Julie’s folks are on island.
In the main dining area, there is an aquarium with a few Lionfish. As I have posted in the past, these are invasive to the Caribbean. Tukka often has them on the dinner menu. This is the 1st time I see them in someone aquarium.
In closing, we highly recommend this place. It is about a 35 minute drive from Georgetown, but well worth it and it is a very enjoyable drive. Once you pass the Savannah area, you will see very few cars and many lovely sea views of the southern coastline.






Hi Micho,
I remember Portofino.
Technical note : cameras have a mode where you can force the flash on, even if the camera thinks it’s not needed. On the picture during lunch, it would allow us to see your faces (especially Julie’s mom), without changing the background’s luminosity.
More difficult when you ask someone else to take the picture, though.

This must be before the lighthouse? My husband was in the Lion Fish tournament last year, and we discovered how delicious they can be!!
Kangaroo meat????
@Jody. This past the lighthouse. Its at the most eastern part of the island
@Debby. Yup, kangaroom meat. Australian owner/chef ; get it? 🙂
