Cara Lodge, Bottle Restaurant

Guyanese cuisine is spicy and flavorful. There are loads of places to find good food in Georgetown. Opposite the El Dorado is the Cara Lodge. Their Bottle Restaurant is very popular with tourists as it offers a large selection of local and international fare. On several occasions, we found ourselves wandering over to the Cara Lodge, especially at night, because we knew that we would be able to find something that we could eat and not be disappointed.
