The luxurious Golden Rock Inn, another historic sugar plantation turned into private cottages set amidst 40 acres of stunning tropical gardens, offers a menu that brings travelers from all over the world, with standouts including pan-seared rack of lamb with rosemary baby potatoes and cauliflower purée and a particular specialty of the Rocks (and creation of the resort’s owner, artist Helen Harden): “Helen’s Moroccan Chicken” with green cracked olives, house preserved lemon, and couscous. Chef James Eaton´s passion extends even to breakfast: his eggs Benedict with local homemade brioche, sautéed spinach and Creole hollandaise sauce can come with either local wahoo or Canadian bacon, while his pancakes (picturec here) are flavored with spiced rum berry compote and creme Chantilly.
