"This lively beachside restaurant overlooks the yachts moored in Portsmouth’s sweeping Prince Rupert’s Bay. Retire here after swimming and lounging on the black sands for a cold Kubuli beer or cherry punch, plus ribs, lobster, and coconut shrimp. Make sure to also try side dishes like boiled yam, taro, or sweet potatoes, sometimes livened by plantains and breadfruit—these heavy carbs once fueled Caribbean slaves and remain a staple in Dominica."

Very pleased with our experience at the Purple Turtle tonight. I had been looking for a delicious lobster meal and the cook did not disappoint! Grilled and garlicky perfection! The staff was very friendly and the scenery was beautiful. Worth the trip down from Picard.

Great spot along the beachfront. Friendly service and very good food at very reasonable prices. I had the baked chicken dinner and my partner had the fish. Both were delicious and served w numerous sides. Definitely recommend!

The location is perfect but the service not so great. The ladies were rough. They don't take credit cards. We ordered fish and was told the chef walked off the shift so we couldn't get it. The fried chicken wasn't that great.

Food was great but service was on island 🏝️ time. We had to flag her down a few times but she was very nice and helpful when she was with us. They were out of several things I wanted to order but they said that the food truck didn’t deliver. I will go back. I have to remember that island time is not US time. We get in such a hurry in the US. Sometimes we need to slow down.

Visited this lovely beach club to enjoy the beach and the festive atmosphere. I enjoyed a delicious meal which was vegetarian and a cool drink. I got to meet the owner Mr. Vincent Etienne who was approachable, gracious, and friendly. I hope to visit again whenever I am in Dominica.

Nice place on the beach in Portsmouth. Just had a few beers and a burger while relaxing after our hike in the Cabrits park. They have more than just sandwiches (shrimp, lobster, octopus) and the prices are reasonable.

No ability to take a credit card in 2024 is ridiculous. Stairs uneven into bar from the beach are a hazard as the rise of the treads are uneven. Two in our party tripped. Looked forward to having the local beer and was told it was not available only to see others drinking it a short time later. Rum bunch was a syrupy mess straight out of a bottle and below expectations of an island visit. Location and beach are good
