I’ll admit that this was actually very good! I guess it’s customary to order a Jamaican patty at the Patty Shack, right? I’m not sure what makes it Jamaican, perhaps the seasoning. The filling was super hot, but very flavorful. And I love how they have “JUICI” stamped onto the crust.

Our Lady of Fair Haven Cathedral candles

Candles at Our Lady of Fair Haven Cathedral. This small church is one of the few tourist sites within downtown Roseau. I always find myself at churches where ever I go. I think they’re calming, beautiful, and they can really tell you a lot about the particular city.

Popcorn shrimp combo Patty Shack

Breaded and deep fried shrimp served with a side of French fries and sweet and sour sauce. $9.50 (East Caribbean dollar)
Patty Shack, Roseau, DOMINICA

So Patty Shack is a fast food chain on Dominica, and I wasn’t too impressed. I guess I’m used to the speed of American fast food chains, and this place was slower than I’m used to. It took a good 15 minutes for me to receive my order. The shrimp were hard and dry and the fries were limp and soggy.

Roseau Dominica
View of downtown Roseau. This was not my favorite island of the trip. We were verbally harassed by a group of locals and generally felt uneasy thereafter. While there aren’t too many tourist attractions in downtown Roseau, I would definitely suggest walking in groups.
