 Hangover hut is in the parking lot next to La Placita.  It has a big Canadian flag out front.  We decided to try it finally.  So I was born in Canada, but Poutine wasn't really a thing when I was there, it didn't become popular until later.  Most of my family lives in Canada and I had never tried Poutine.  They had it on the menu so I had to try it.  We split the hamburger and chose onion rings as a side ($14 + 2 for onion rings) and a plate of Poutine ($8).  The burger was delicious!!!  Onion rings were too salty but good.   OK......  I hope I don't disappoint all my Canadian friends and family, but I did not like Poutine.  Not a fan of all that gravy covering my french fries.  We will definitely go back - they have Euchre games 2 days a week. lol  But not eating the Poutine.                                        

 Here is another new restaurant over the water.  Ipanema recently opened, the building contains them on the lower floor and then Maxim is on the 2nd floor.  I saw that they had nothing but 5 star reviews on google so we tried them for lunch. The server was very sweet and checked in with us frequently.  I ordered the fish fingers ($13) and Greg ordered the tacos ($7 for 3).  Both were good, the chicken meat on the tacos was the best we've had, it wasn't dried out, but cooked well and juicy.  The fish was good - but I still like the Conch Fritter place better and less expensive.                                                      

 The sign is on the main road, but I could never figure out where the restaurant was located until I drove behind the building in front and there it was!  Cute little restaurant.  It's an outdoor location right on the water.  You have a side view of the harbor and a great view of the bay.   Of course we had to try the fitters, so Greg ordered the Fritter plate ($10) and I ordered the fish finger plate ($9).  The fritter plate came with 6 fritters, plantains and pico de gallo.  We substituted french fries with plantains.  The fish plate came with 5 pieces of fish, coleslaw and french fries.  That was the best battered fish I have had on the island.  The batter was very flakey and fish was cooked perfectly.  The food was soooo good that I was surprised when we arrived at 11:45 and were the only people eating.  No one else showed up at lunch time.  It might have something to do with $3 for a soda.  We will definitely go back. If we had our swimsuits, they even have a pool you can use

 oops, I went there in February for the first time and thought I posted this.  We went back again last week. Palmetto Bay is a quiet gated community on the north side of the island.  We are in the process of purchasing a lot to build a house on.  The cost of building a house here is about $100 a square foot for a wood house and a little more for a concrete house.  I will be blogging about house building on this site starting next week. Palmetto Bay has a restaurant called the Cove, a dive shop and a swimming pool. The restaurant has delicious food, but a little more than we like to pay for food (what can I say, we're cheap!) The first time I ordered something and they were out - I think it was the pulled pork so I got a hamburger instead, Greg had the fish dish.  The second time we went for dinner and I ordered the Sea Bass and it came with a baked potato and steamed veggies.  Greg ordered the curry chicken and rice.  Both dishes were delicious.  The curry dish had a little heat to
