My adventures across Trinidad and Tobago continued on the island of Tobago at Villa Being on the northwestern side of the island. Villa Being is a luxury villa where they serve some delicious food! Come join me as I enjoy Tobagonian food at a luxury resort in Trinidad & Tobago!
Joining me was my friend Chef Jason Peru. There, Chef Jonathan Michael Jordan would make us a sustainable, eco-friendly three-course dinner and some drinks. I couldn’t wait!

First, they greeted us with some fresh coconuts to drink. The coconuts grow right on the estate. The water inside was so pure and fresh. It was the perfect way to cool off after a long, hot day on the island!
Then, we started our tour of the estate, starting with an outside seating area. Next, we headed inside to the library/reception area where they have books by local and international authors. Outside the doors is their pool, and beyond that, the Caribbean Sea.
The entire resort infuses elegance and natural beauty. They had an entire patio filled with outdoor furniture. I didn’t realize Tobago had such a rocky and hilly shore.
Then, we saw their 4 rooms. They accommodate up to 10 people. They’re gorgeous and feel almost like a tree house and offer views of the Caribbean Sea! The rooms have their own private balconies, and they also have saltwater pools and outdoor showers!
The beds have mosquito netting on them and the bathrooms is beautiful. We also visited the Grand Pavilion room, which is a gorgeous room of relaxation. It looked like Greece!
Next, we headed into the kitchen and met Chef Jonathan Michael Jordan, who was super young! He was grilling some mahi mahi on top of some green fig leaves. He also made some ceviche shots called pacro shots, garlic sada roti, and curry conch. The conch looked unbelievable!
The pacro shot is made from a sea crustacean that also contains chadon beni, garlic, onions, and lime juice. The curry conch also contained coconut milk. We started with the pacro shot, which was citrusy and extremely tasty. It tasted like clams!
The curry conch was amazing. I had to eat it with the garlic sada roti. I loved the coconut milk gravy and how the bread soaked it up. Next, they brought us a Masi Tupungato, a white pinot grigio from Argentina and our next course. It included salted bhaji, mahi mahi, coo coo, and a coconut-rum Creole sauce.
The smoked mahi mahi had a nice smoky flavor with coconut, and the grilled coo coo was like a crispy polenta. I loved the moist, crunchy bhaji, which wasn’t overcooked at all. Everything was fresh, healthy, and organic! I loved the sweet, dry white wine with it. This was Tobago fine dining!
Finally, we had some crème brûlée for dessert! The added whipped cream and cassava pone on top. It’s a play on the local flavors. It blew me away with how decadent it was!

Where have you been?
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
Feeling like a proud Tobagonian😌😁Sweet Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 if only ppl (& the government) took more pride in our country.
So true 👍🏿
For real!!..
Well said
I love this! As a Jamaican it became redundant too see foodies all go to the same islands. I’ve been curious about trinidad and tabago for a while now, then voila on my feed! Thanks for shedding your foodie light on your trip to T&T 💚youve got yourself a new subscriber
It's Tobago hun not Tabago
David as a Trinbagonian, I am absolutely Proud of how you enjoyed yourself, our foods, people and life of this beautiful twin island state. Gotta love seeing your eye roll back every time you have our dishes. TnT is a whole adventure and I'm glad you were able to experience it #GoodTing!!!💯
Epic moment,,, David comparing little Tobago with Santorini Greece. Am here for it.
That’s probably the most official villa I’ve seen🔥🔥🔥. When bro was waiting at the front with a platter with coconuts garnished I knew it was about to be amazing.
Absolutely loved this one! Great narrating...great script...great editing job! Congrats to the persons operating that Villa! Congrats to the cool and collected Chef! From the beginning with the greeter to the feasting, I loved the whole experience of true customer service at its best! Jason your flair in explaining and describing the dishes was on point here! David, you already know, you have to revisit our twin island T&T in the near future! There is lots more variations for you to discover and savor.
Chef Peru's food critique and descriptions are hilarious.. right up there with Mark Wiens'. David and Jason are like childhood best friends the way they excitedly savor and relish food together! That fresh fish entrée looked delectable and scrumptious, and totally worth the trek to Tobago 🍤🧆
Sweet sweet T&T.....oh how I love up my country
The level of excitement I get whenever I see your Trini videos uploaded!
As someone who has lived Central, North and Tobago, I must say your experience has been an adequate representation of our foods and culture.
Adequete not d right word boy. IT EXCEPTIONAL
🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹
David’s facial reactions are warming to my heart.
Lol y'all make a good team...
That place was nice !!🇹🇹🇻🇪

thank you!!
Awesome videos and coverage of Trinidad and Tobago, our culinary lifestyle, culture and vibe. It nice to see someone finally capture the essence of who we are ❤️🇹🇹🥂
Beautiful and epic. I have not been to Tobago, in over 20 years. I felt so proud. Living aboard makes your heart smile. Seeing these Trinidad and Tobago videos. Thank you David from my heart❤❤
20 years?? So you don't know what it looks like now?
@@wertsdfg7579 No. Hoping to go on my next visit bk home💕
@@ingridbee9192 20 years is nothing and while time is passing by so fast, the islands haven't shrunk or gotten bigger. They are the same with improvements. Check out google. You can find any place in Trinidad and Tobago. So how can you say that you don't know what Tobago looks like now. SMH!!!
@@JudyT868 thank you my dear. I never said ,I don't know what it looks like. I said its 20 years I've not been there. 😊. A lot can change in 20 years. That's just me, and my taughts.
@@ingridbee9192 maybe I misunderstood . Sorry about that. You sound like a nice lady so I apologize. You can still google it though but I know what you mean. It's all about being there and experiencing Island life again. Nothing beats that. I have been away since 1976 so it does get nostalgic when I see these videos through someone else's eyes. So again apologies and I hope you do get to go back sometime in the near future.🇹🇹🇨🇦
Chef Jordan fantastic job great presentation let people see how we do it they class us as a 3rd world country but we could still shine as bright as all again beautiful job well done beautiful villa beautiful people Caribbean life sun sand sea and lots of beautiful generous people
One talented young chef there!!!
Coconut water…mother nature’s gatorade 😊 We grew up drinking it from fresh coconuts every summer in India. Villa Being looks heavenly with beautiful views of the Caribbean 💜💖 David, if you didn’t say it’s Tobago, I’d have thought it is Santorini. 😀 Loved this video 😍
David...the conch king. That entire Villa Being experience was so decadent!! 👌👌
Hats off to the chef 👌👌 Well done 👍🏽 customer service on point too👌🙂
I could listen to Jason describe the comfort of a pair of socks😁 The way he speak about the food....I could almost taste it. 😄
Well educated indeed!
I am so loving these videos David. You make me want to resdiscover Tobago all over again
I love you guys....David and Chef Jason...you guys are always eating. The way you guys introduce the food makes me want to book the next flight.... Thank you guys I have a few places that I must try....you guys should of gone to Cross crossing in the south for Raanah doubles it's also just delicious...the night street food also is an experience
I am really enjoying, almost addicted to watching your tour of our beautiful islands. Thank you David for doing such a lovely natural coverage of our culture and thank you Chef Jason for choosing such authentic, organic ways for David to truly experience this island, much appreciated. You gave David a full package tour!! Kudos to this young Chef who caters for this Villa and the polite chauffeurs who give their guests a good Tobago experience. All the video's I thoroughly enjoyed watching and David, your approach is so polite and you know your foods! I have a gut feeling you will be back. Thank you for showcasing our beautiful islands

Damnn David and Chef Peru got me eating ceviche at almost 3 a.m 😅 also wanna add that Chef Peru is has such a beautiful way of, expressing,explaining and showing how wonderful the food and ppl are! Love watching the two of you enjoy some good food ❤️
Really enjoying the Tobago series!
Jason Peru should let the cooks and chefs do the talking. He makes so many mistakes that it's embarrassing. Guy at Villa Being told David that the coconut was grown on the estate and Peru butted in and tells David that the coconut was PROBABLY grown on the estate after which the guy had to correct him. Egg on face!!!
I enjoyed this ❣❣❣❣
I want to fly out to Villa Being asap. Thanks David!
😚
what an amazing place, I'm considering having my wedding there now..
Lovely experience❤
Great representation chef!🥳🙌🏿👍🏿

Thanks for visiting T & T David
You dont hold back with food bro
Fantastic video highlighting Tobago's villa experience ! However I never knew pacro was described as a cockroach of the sea, I always knew a sea cockroach were those white looking creatures that burrowed into the sand. Well you learn something every day.
He is wrong here. It's a barnacle and sticks to rocks. There is another sea critter called sea cockroach which lives close to the shore and has more roach like features. Encountered those right in caranage.
Being a trini is so good 9:12
9:05
David and Jason make a good pair of food guru's
I live here and only started visiting ingredients some of these places for the first time because of these videos
I can only watch your videos when my stomach is full.
Jason pacro is not sea cockroach. Totally different
I love how David has abandoned ALL ‘airs and graces’ (to hell with table manners)!!!!!😛😛😛
🇹🇹❤🇻🇪
my best bro david your friend is awesome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries germans russians lot of love 💙
Can somebody tell me if Peru talked about the culture in Tobago?
David king khaled missed you so much
South oropuche by chubby factory it will be so cool the place is nice
David the villa was fabulous what part of Tobago can I find this place
David nice video! You need to come back around the Christmas season and experience all the dishes you missed with a different chef or someone else. There're many dishes that you didn't get try for obvious reasons. I wonder which Caribbean island is next. David keep up great work showcasing the world's vast variety of dishes. 👍
@@stillirise7813 Yeah! With pastel mixed in; I'm joking. He can have doubles again along with what he missed out on.
@@stillirise7813 💯 it has to be someone else it doesn't even need to be a chef or it can be multiple people.
ST: agreed. Peru was a dud. Hogging the limelight, hanging onto David like a leech. Sitting too close sharing one plate at times. Peru eats like he hasn't eaten in days. Not sanitary to be eating from one plate and talking in David's face. Sitting any closer and he'd be on David's lap. He is very annoying. To be honest, there was a lot of food and nothing to do with culture and history of Trinidad and Tobago. The guy tells them that the coconut was grown on the estate and Peru put his two cents in saying that the coconut was PROBABLY grown on the estate and the guy had to correct him. How arrogant!!!
@@stillirise7813 Yes. It should be somebody who knows history and more about the different foods that people cook and eat in Trinidad and Tobago. Not just roti and doubles and not just curried foods.
@@JudyT868 🤣 I didn't notice until you said it he really stick up under the man like deodorant. That lap comment made me laugh, wee. I did notice the part with the coconut though. That was annoying. I thought David'sbeenhere was all about food.
D ambiance is fairly nice
That's a dry wine but it taste gud though👍
Hey David!!!!,Love your videos does your wife &kids ever go with you??,,and if so why dont they ever make an appearance on the video??Keep the videos coming 👍👍🤩🥰😍💕❤💙💋💋
Nah boy David!! that's your fine dining etiquette???.lol.cyah take you nowhere bai.ah luv it. You wasn't in for all dat long talking with Jason. Man was hungry ready tuh dig in tuh dem conchs one time .lmao🤣💀
When are you going to upload the Iran episodes David?
I will never understand our fascination with always wanting to travel trinidad and tobago has some of the most beautiful get aways and beaches. Or leaving here to go in concrete jungle America without visiting sites. Our resorts and villas are so natural and a get away from reality. We do have apartments and modern hotels that are good but if you know where to go here you will truly forget the world especially since we are so small everywhere is cozy but cozy is the new luxury
Good
