A taste of the Caribbean on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard

Deon’s, a fantastic Vineyard restaurant, has moved from Chilmark to Oak Bluffs this season giving folks easier access to its extraordinary food. Also, moving to Oak Bluffs means that alcohol will be served on the premises as Chilmark is a dry town and Oak Bluffs is not.

With his family, Deon hails from Anguilla but makes Martha’s Vineyard home. He’s brought his Caribbean flair to this island, however – and his “Contemporary, Caribbean Fusion” is sooo good. It really is a perfect match…I mean, we have more fresh fish here than you can shake a net at.

Here’s a sneak peak at the 2009 summer menu…

Reggae Mussels with coconut rum, madras curry, soft herbs, thyme, fennel & celery~

Conch Fritter Calypso with avocado, pesto, sprouts, jakanoo sauce~

Miso Crusted Swordfish with sweet batata fries & braised asparagus~

Cinnamon Braised Lamb Rack with Merlot ver jus, green beans and yucca puree

They’re open for dinner and Sunday brunch and you can find Deon’s Restaurant right on the main strip in Oak Bluffs, 53 Circuit Ave. 508.696.0001

And…We’ve got some great vacation rentals just a leisurely walk away from your dinner table! Contact me for more info.

Just because summer’s over, doesn’t mean Martha’s Vineyard has shut down!
Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons on Martha’s Vineyard, the crowds have left, the rentals are cheaper and the sun is still out! But what is there to do? You may ask.

There’s a lot, including the Martha’s Vineyard Food and Wine Festival.

The MVFWF is an annual non-profit event that promotes local farms and seafood as well as wineries from all over the world. Most of the profits benefit The Martha’s Vineyard Museum in Edgartown. The Festival is October 17-19, 2008.
