On arrival I was greeted and given a cute BAYGO sticker. I arrived at 13:30 and the place was buzzing, as expected during the lunch time rush. Music was playing and everyone was chatting, it was a great vibe. The location is great for anyone working in the area, and it was only a two minute walk from Monument Station.

I had a look at the menu and decided to go with the Creole Pot – “Fish goujons with a seafood sauce, Plantain, sunshine slaw, callaloo and rice and peas“. 

Before anything, I obviously had to take a picture of my meal. I’m surprised the pictures didn’t come out blurry considering how quick I took them. I knew I would enjoy it, from the smell alone.

 

I’m not great at describing texture, taste and all of that food critique terminology, however I will say that the first mouthful was an experience in it’s self. The rice and peas had a comforting and familiar taste, like my grandmother was in the kitchen. 

I’m a big fan of fish, hence why I went with fish. I really appreciated the fact that the fish was fresh and the batter was the real deal. Fresh, flaky white fish with a really nice light batter. The fish sauce brought the whole meal up to a solid ten stars. I don’t know what was in that sauce, but it was heavenly. It was a spicy (spicy for me) tomato sauce full of flavour. I liked the contrast of textures; the soft fish, crunchy slaw and smooth sauce.

Overall my experience at BAYGO was great, from the warm greeting to the lovely food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. I can’t wait to go back and try out the rest of their dishes.
