The recently renovated Lone Star Beach House is now available for short term rent. This beautiful house enjoys a prime beach location next to the Lone Star Restaurant The daytime atmosphere in the restaurant is laid back and beach friendly, in the evening, smart casual and always hip and trendy. Discerning clientele enjoy an International menu which also features some Italian, as well as local specialties. Ocean breezes circulate throughout the open space and a new outer boardwalk has been added to accommodate casual beachside lunches or evening cocktails. Enjoy the ‘Lone Star Sunset’ here… in the sky and ‘on the rocks’, a sexy blend of Southern Comfort, Kola Tonic, Cherry Brandy, Orange Juice and Angostura Bitters. Manager Giorgio Benedetto is keen to emphasise the winning ingredients of the restaurant; the very best vegetable produce is flown into the island from Europe twice weekly. Fresh fish, salmon, oysters, and Loch Fyne mussels from Scotland and American grass fed beef star alongside locally procured items such as mango, banana, local fish and fresh herbs. All food is vacuum-sealed and dated on arrival stunning sunset thus ensuring it retains its superior quality and the new brigade of World class chefs do the minimum of preparation to the food allowing instead their inherent flavours to shine. Giorgio is also extremely proud of the apprenticeship program The Lone Star offers to trainee chefs from the local Hospitality College eager to learn they are showing great potential in the kitchen. Giorgio specializes in restaurant build and installed a Jade Waldorf kitchen, the very best for high performance commercial kitchens. From the in-house bakery to pizzas from a wood stone pizza oven the kitchen turns out memorable meals from beginning to end efficiently, even the desserts are all made in house, including ice creams made with fresh local ingredients such as mango, basil and coconut. Fresh made pastas also feature on the menu in dishes such as Open Ravioli with Wild Mushroom and Butternut Squash and Little Neck Clam Linguine with White Wine, Garlic and Fresh Herbs. The lunch menu offers light appetizers, salads, sandwiches and pizzas while the Main course could be Fresh Market Fish with Grilled Vegetables, Bank Beer Battered Cod served with hand cut chips and mushy peas or Fresh Maine Lobster with garlic herb butter and Couscous. In the evening the menu is more extensive and includes a selection of Pastas, Fish & Seafood and Meats with inventively paired accompaniments and a choice of Celestial Sauces such as Green Peppercorn, Béarnaise and Madeira Jus. Accessories (aka ‘Sides’) like Truffle Mac n Cheese, Smoked New Potatoes and Baby Cauliflower Cheese are decadent and a heavenly ‘Little Stars’ menu is available just for kids. We say that if the best memories are made in flip-flops let them lead you to The Lone Star! 54 LIVING BARBADOS APRIL - AUGUST 2014
