Wasn’t much of a Gardens. Was more like a park. Was sort of kept up. Few flowers or special plants. Had some old beautiful trees. Interesting walk up from the Cruise ship pier. No ticket required.

Large variety of trees and flowering shrubs from Caribbean and elsewhere. Some are labelled. While not highly manicured or a fancy design with formal gardens or statues and fountains, this is a free admission nice place to relax and explore. While uncrowded and spacious, we saw a good number of people enjoying the park, Moms with kids sitting on benches (wish I could sit here with my dear Mom), people recreating, etc. We enjoyed this park and checking out the fine trees young and old. It’s easy to walk here from your lodging in downtown Roseau. Dominica thanks for providing this nice garden.

I had an absolutely fantastic time on my excursion during my Carnival Cruise! Exploring Dominica was an incredible experience, filled with stunning views and fun moments. I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a memorable and exciting vacation experience!

This was an excursion from the cruise terminal in Roseau Dominica. the drive there was very interesting with busy narrow roads and some steep hills. Lovely trees and a parrot compound but not much of gardens with flowers, more of a park than anything, and of course the bus under a tree. The view from the Morne Bruce above was beautiful as was the view from the cruise ship.

Our tour guide gave us great information about many of the plants. It is very interesting and worth a visit. It was so lucky there weren't any school children on the bus at the time the tree fell during a hurricane 😳

An array of beautiful plants. It's a most visit on your trip to Dominica. Nice place to have a picnic in the middle of town. Try it! Get some local food and just vibe out amo g the trees. Yes! It's free!

A lovely display for tourists and locals alike! Sadly, our visit here was rather short due to being part of a cruise excursion, more time would have been nice. We did get to walk among the shady trees and see some native parrots. Fascinating to see the tree that fell years ago in a hurricane with a bus still under it. Lots of fun and unusual trees and plants.

Awesome view of Roseau. Great picnic area, with some slight upgrades it will be perfect!

Family enjoyed. 👪

Beautiful view of the South of the island

Amazing community

❤🙏

Great view of Roseau

Great viewww

Small and informative local museum providing an overview of the founding of Dominica. 5$ us entrance fee.

We enjoyed our visit here. Head up the stairs to the 2nd floor and pay the posted $3 US per person to enter (I see another review says $5 US so maybe there are seasonal differences?). Staff quietly pleasant and welcoming enough. The exhibits are not fancy but provide a good amount of information on Dominica’s history, culture, people, geology, and flora. There are historical photos, artifacts like a dugout canoe, and art. To me, the creators have done a wonderful job of providing info in summary form fit for a wide span of audience interests. I believe that most folks will spend 30 to 60 minutes here. Please check out my photos herein.

Small museum with a small history of Dominica. Good to get a flyover on the history. $3 US per person. Air conditioned & have water available

When visiting Roseau, go to the Dominica museum. It is worth the $3usd to understand the history of the island.

It's so much fun! Inexpensive and a great place to learn and view historic information about the island.

Very well organized museum.

I learned a few new things! Nice collection however would be good to use a museum expert to redecorate everything. It could be displayed and explained so much better.

We walked here from a cruise ship terminal. Easy to navigate and safe. We headed to the overview point and passed a botanical garden on the way there. Dominica’s Botanical Gardens are a peaceful escape right in Roseau. The grounds are filled with tropical plants, colorful flowers, and towering trees. The gazebo is a lovely centerpiece—perfect for shade, photos, or just sitting to enjoy the calm. A relaxing spot to wander before or after exploring the city.

Free public space, lots of specimen trees, very well maintained grassed areas, lovely to stroll around - do wear a sun hat and watch out for all the tree roots (I managed to trip on one, despite tour guide constantly reminding watch your step!).

I was OK but need more plans. I need more people taking care of.

Lovely gardens and well kept. No fee to enter and amazing how green and preserved it is

primitive. Park to spend some time looking st the animals, birds, and the studies. Bamboo house, and of course the bus.

Great place to visit we are thinking of getting a small Cottage here

Amazing botanical garden. Nice to visit in Roseau.

That’s place is known no locals! Food is very delicious and cheap! Do not expect nothing fancy inside but I came there for good food and I got it! I liked the service provide by nice woman - fast and nice! We took chicken curry 🍛 plus drink and we spent 21 dollars for all!! Highly recommend !

Best local restaurant in Roseau. Come during breakfast for their “Creole Breakfast”. The codfish fritters (accras) are also my favorite and only $1ECD each! Kind staff and great value. Will definitely return!!

Best breakfast spot in town !!!! Will definitely eat there again. I'm really upset I found this place sooo late. To update: I came back for lunch. This spot is a keeper. Plus they have barons pepper 💃

Friendly staff. Good local fruit juices and meals.

Cool ac plus awesome smoked chicken callalou. This is a must on a Saturday. They also make and sell a rum punch that does not disappoint.

Good local food. Cash only no AC on or fan. Plan to wait. As has been common during our stay even a short menu will have selections that aren’t available. The main pork was tender with flavorful gravy. Rice had beans salad and vegetables.

My go to place for lunch these days. I usually call to order and usually my order is ready by the time communicated to me. The food is always tasty and never disappoints. I would like to see payment cards being accepted and perhaps some parking (reserved) for patrons. All in all a fantastic place for food.

When we came here, the restaurant was out of most of the items on the menu. A question would be answered with "let me find out" and a disappearance of 15-20 minutes. When the food arrived, it was decent, some parts edible and some parts better. Serving sizes are generous. Service is standard Caribbean time slow / relaxing pace. Room is simple, not decorated nor elaborate.

Great place. Name of restaurant did not match but we found it. Food choices were varied but a few of the menu items were unavailable. Everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend and would most definitely return. The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service.

Third time trying to eat at this restaurant and we succeeded First time it was closed when it was supposed to be open, yesterday we called and they said they are open and when we got here we were told that they are not serving any food because they don't have any waiters...so finally we made it. The waiter seems to be doing most of the work whilst the waitress seems to sit around a lot and rolls her eyes when asked by her colleague to do something. Many of the items on the menu were missing. We had the fish cakes to start and goat curry for main, both very good. The card machine was out of order apparently, so we had to pay cash. Very interesting experience.

Don't go here. Tons of reviews say they will tell you they "don't have that" from the menu. That's true. They didn't have at least 5 things and it's a SLIM menu to begin with. I had to disagree with my bill and have it corrected 3 times. First- they charged me for sides that the waitress stated were part of the meal I picked (I asked to make sure before I ordered them because I didn't need any sides) Then- they told me that the bill was higher because the prices on the menu had increased. They told me AFTER I ordered AND ate the food. Then- they tried to charge me for alcohol in my fruit punch when there wasn't any. Being told the "prices are higher than the menu shows" after eating the food was absolutely UNEXPECTABLE. They corrected the bill, after I made it clear I was paying the printed menu price and only for food that I had ordered based on the menu. The food was mediocre and the service was less than mediocre, and I'm not picky with either of those items.

I’m not sure if I should be posting to the Old Stone Grill and Bar or The Great Old House (same place). The name has no effect —the food is lovely, the balcony gets the perfect breeze, and the service is helpful and friendly. Some folks note that they are often out of things on the menu. It’s an island and the food is fresh. You get what’s good, and it is. Be prepared for large portions. The mains come with two sides and that would be plenty for me. That said, the appetizers were also very good and plentiful. Love the fish cakes! Spicy fries are a treat too.

This place is by far one of the best restaurants I have eaten at on the island. You will not be disappointed. I mean service is great, the food exceptional. It is not a fast food restaurant so if you are looking for a quick meal, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for culinary experience--you have found a gem in this place. Friendly staff and that goes for the owner Steve as well. I ate here for the 1st time in March and knew that when I visited again I would return. Tonight I did with my mom and brother. We were not disappointed.

We had mixed bag, the curried goat was good the shrimp was ok but nothing special, they added a 25% service charge, which was crazy

Cool place, upstairs location but sand floors with beach vibe. Super friendly staff and food choices were many. The sides were excellent, the fish was tasty but cooked slightly more that I prefer. I would eat here again, but would choose a different protein.

A very laid back and fun bar! It definitely is made for tourists but the fun drinks and atmosphere are hard to pass up. We had burgers (after a week of chicken and fish we were craving some beef) and they were actually so good! The prices were fair and it was close to the cruise ships and our hotel. Definitely check this place out!

This establishment boasts an exceptional selection of locally sourced spirits; a visit is highly recommended. We suggest sampling the "lucky snake rum" snake head rum shots. The establishment is situated on the top floor, showcasing tropical, sandy beach décor which overlooks the bay. It is further distinguished by its customer service.

This is a fun beach bar, on the first floor overlooking the seafront. It has a sandy floor and bar-style seating looking out over the sea as well as tables and benches. Good selection of the usual cocktails and beers. The menu is pretty good - rotis and agoulous are a solid choice and I also enjoyed the grilled fish and the lobster tail. It’s a pleasant place to watch the comings and goings on whichever cruise ship is docked or to enjoy a beer whilst sheltering from the rain!

Great place to grab a bite while in port. Service was good and the food and drinks were tasty. Note- they do not have diet sodas

A good place with sandy floor and nice view over the dock. Beach feeling and a mix between a bar and restaurant. Feel good vibe. Food was good.

Cool spot to grab a bite and a drink! Had the beef burger, chicken roti, fried plantains, and lime juice. All were great!

Very creative and tasty food here, we really liked this place. Started with the nice Lacou Punch drink, and a glass of wine. Had the fried octopus appetizer, nice tamarind sauce with pickled green papaya (wish they had bottles of it to sell) and pretty presentation… enjoyed it but it was not the nicest piece of octopus I’ve had, a bit small and slightly dry. Love marlin and I love schnitzel, but this is the first Marlin Schnitzel I’ve ever seen or had, creative, and it was beautiful on the plate and I enjoyed it, but made me wonder if marlin should be “schnitzeled” because it lost some of its lovely marlin texture and flavor, however it was good and the accompanying risotto was delicious. My wife had the goat steak and kindly shared some, we agreed it was the best prepared goat meat we’ve ever had, a nice crust and tender flavorful interior, we want all of our goat to be cooked here! Server was very nice, sharp, prompt, and unobtrusive, perfect. Nice decor and artwork. All very nice, and a good value. Believe that we could not get this nice of a dining experience and food for this price in the USA (card charge $118 US total by charging in EC $, see photo of bill), which we really appreciate. Highly recommend this establishment.

Our favorite restaurant of all of Dominica! If you are looking for upscale and comfortable, look no further Lacou Melrose House is where you want to go. Reservations are essential as they get booked up. The food was superb, service was polished, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. They have some of the best wine on the island too, and it's stored properly in a wine fridge. We got to try breadfruit (fried) for the first time!

I had an amazing experience at Lacou! No doubt it is the best restaurant on the whole island of Dominica. The Ambiente is cozy and private, you don’t even feel like you’re sitting in the middle of Roseau. The staff is very professional and friendly and I liked the fact that even the chef checks on his guests and always has a minute to talk. The menu varies a bit on a daily basis, I just couldn’t get enough of their food! Everything they serve is made of fresh local and economical products -> you can definitely taste that.. The prices are more than fair for what you get, you should definitely try the deserts if you eat there! The restaurant is gaining more and more popularity so if you’re planning on going for dinner you might as well give them a call to let them reserve a table for you! :) Enjoy your experience!

I think one of the best meals of my life. Marlin steak with risotto, amazing and filling. I also tried the phenomenal pumpkin soup, so nice and zesty and grilled maki-maki with sweet potatos, amazingly light meal ale the tastes are so well balanced. Perfection. Will come back.

I had a lovely meal here for my birthday. The atmosphere was very nice. And I enjoyed the food and drinks & I have to say, the waitress was great too! She was so friendly & had exceptional customer service. I would definitely go back.

The food is fresh, original, and decisively modern. For example, the marlin ceviche came with a passionfruit-based sauce. It was zingy, tasty and perfectly seasoned! The tuna tataki was some of the freshest I’ve ever had. While we were certainly impressed by the chef’s confident take on classic dishes, what surprised us most were the generous portion sizes. Lacou is undoubtedly a fine dining experience and we found it incredibly refreshing to see proper portion sizes. After a full day of hiking, we came in with a monster appetite and left satisfied.

Excellent food, wide variety of choices. Friendly service and is faster than most restaurants in the area. Will be returning before we leave.

Stopped at this little place while we were in port today. The friendliest staff, very clean establishment, and great food. We enjoyed a Greek salad and a panini.. perfect stop before exploring the friendliest Island of Dominica.

1st time in Roseau, Dominica and we found this cozy restaurant "le petit paris" I ordered fish and chips and iced coffee, did'nt expect it will come on a large servings and very good presentation.. 100% recommendation on this place. Love the food and the staff are so nice and very helpfull.

Had a Country Man, Steak Burger with Fries. It was Delicious...and chicken green pepper pizza 🍕. Place was a little small. Yet, we weren't paid much attention too... Waited about 10 minutes for the bill table cleared. We had to call again to pay.....

It was my first time at petit paris and i must say I honestly Loved and enjoyed my meal♥️ Especially the quiche. I'll definitely be getting myself some quiche daily 🤤

I had the fish sandwich and my wife had the BLT. It’s a small quaint restaurant right next to the ocean. The staff is pleasant and the food is delicious. The price good. As you can see the portions are great that was my sandwich.

Our second lunch at Petit Paris Restaurant. As has been the case at all restaurants on Dominica there were several dishes that weren't available. The paella was lovely. Flavorful rice with shrimp, small clams and chicken pieces.

Eat here!! The Croque Madame was spot on! Get there early for the pastries! The food & service both great!
