Finally made it to Gutside. Tried to convince hubby every year and he’d say the name turns him off. After reviews here he gave in today.
We were. Warmly welcomed by a tall gentleman who identified himself as “Uncle Freddie” then he said his name was Richard. Nice sweet man. He seated us and supplied a simplistic menu of fish, shrimp, ribs, stewed pork and a couple of other items. No aptzr listed, no desserts.
Hubby ordered Snapper Fillet and I ordered ribs. Both plates came with rice, fried plantain, green beans, carrots rice & beans. We each had a bottle of Ting. A.ll for an unbelievable €32.
Ribs were uniquely delicious, unlike any bbq ribs I’d had before. The sauce was garlicky sweet, sticky not dry, I detected a hint of turmeric. Hubby loved the fish that was smothered with peppers & onions. He liked it so much he said he like to go back again before we leave on this trip.
When we got up to leave Richard said we could not until he got a squeeze and practically broke my rib.
The place doesn’t look like much from the road and not much better inside. I’d say more of a beach area, plastic tables & chairs one seated 6 another 8 or 10 and 4 tables for two. Old wooden floor that creaks. Walls covered with license plates. A small bar with a see thru to kitchen. No need to dress up here.

I can never find it. Where is it exactly?

Glad you enjoyed Gutside. I have had a few great meals there. Richard is the owner and chef and Lourdes is his wife. They usually are both there together. Richard is also the nephew of the famous artist, Ruby Bute. Richard and Lourdes also will do private catering at your residence if you so desire. Everything he cooks there is delicious and the prices are so reasonable. Gutside is truly a Caribbean treat!

Her studio is (was?) just down the same street at end turn left.

So happy you made it to Gutside. It’s nothing fancy, but the owners and the food make up for that!
We haven’t been there in a few years, but truly have enjoyed dining there several times in the past.
Richard introduced me to oxtail. His version was truly delicious. On another visit, Lourdes convinced me to eat the fried snapper cheeks and its eyeballs. One and done on that. Lol
The restaurant is a labor of love. Richard gave me a tour of the entire place, and the architecture is quite interesting.
I never knew that Richard is Ruby’s nephew. Learned something new today!

Thank you for the info that Ruby Bute is Richards mother. Her studio is (was?) just down the same street at end turn left. Ruby is NOT Richard's mother. Actually, I thought Ruby told me they were distant cousins, but Elizabeth says aunt/nephew. Either way, she's definitely NOT his mother. Yes, her studio is down the road and around the corner.

There are no animal cages or animals at Gutside. But it IS named after it's location.

I think the name came because the big trench behind restaurant is called a gut. We stay 2 minutes walk from there. It just looks so unappealing. From street it looks like animal cages. Maybe next trip. Not always open. Were you the only people there for dinner? Jeepers the place was packed.
