Backyard Café
TIME 2026 TIME World's Greatest Places
Our verdict
The oil-rich South American nation of Guyana is the world’s fastest-growing economy, and its capital Georgetown has transformed from a sluggish village into a construction-filled boomtown. Business travelers have poured into the city, aided by new flights from hubs like Houston and Toronto. Where do they eat? At an unmarked restaurant located in the working-class West Ruimveldt neighborhood. The humble Backyard Café is a speakeasy-style spot tucked—true to its name—into the backyard of Chef Delv
