I'm a newbie, pleas don't beat me:rolleyes:, but what is LTU? We are planning our first trip there in May, and I am the designated researcher-lol. We haven't booked yet, still trying to decide cliffs or beach or a split between the two. I'm reading all these nice things about the place yet I'm still clueless.
LTU is a bar/restaurant on the cliff about 2 min walk up from Rick's Cafe. It has a great view. A Romantic vibe and it is a little bit on the pricey side. Hope this helps.
LTU is a restaurant/bar on the cliffes just north of Rick's Restaurant. Very good food overlooking the sea. Go to Rick's to see the cliff divers then walk up the road for a great meal at LTU pub.Quote:

Damn... we all answered at the same time! See you in May RobinandMark!
that have good schnitzel!
The Chicken Lola is excellent as is the pumpkin soup. Chicken breast stuffed with calaloo & cheeze, then coated in bread crumbs and deep fried.
mmmmmgood.
Der Schnitzel ist Gud! And so are the Sunsets!Quote:

They have the best grilled lobster I have ever put in my mouth!! Also the sunset view is awesome. Ok, I just love the place!!
Thanks, you guys! It's on the short list. I'm doing the Homer Simpson belly rub now(it's a REALLY bad look when a girl does it though).
Will you be down there then?Quote:

A couple of years ago along with some new found friends decided that it must mean Loose The Underwear. But that could have been somewhat Red Stripe induced.
Great place to eat on the cliffs for wonderful pumpkin soup and whatever seafood you choose.
Cliffs vs. Beach? Beach if you want to walk and enjoy classic sand and surf stuff. The Cliff's for a more intimate experience. It's a $10 round trip via personal taxi from the beach hotels to the cliffs dining. A bit of advice that goes for any eatery in Negril, do not arrive hungry. The food is slowly cooked to order so expect a wait between the time you arrive and the time you actually get to taste that wonderful food.
I love the coconut shrimp there!
Yes, I will be there for most of May! I am sure I will hit LTU at least once :)
For me, its the greatest place on the planet......John, I cant wait to see you....
LTU was a German airline that merged with air Berlin in 2007...I could be wrong but I think that's where the pub got it's name...anybody know the story?
I believe there was a plane that crashed in Negril years ago that gave the pub it's name.
Lorax2, you are absolutely right that it was a German airline. They did mainly charter flights from Germany to the US.
Someone said they thought LTU was pricey. I think the prices are reasonable for what you get. I love their chicken Lola and pumpkin soup! But this German lady makes a mean Schnitzel at home. Just ask my hubby. :)
LTU Pub
http://www.negril.com/ltu/main.html
I believe the name originally came from Lufthansa Airlines.....
Huh....I thought I had been there but I guess not. What is the bar called that is right on the cliffs past Ricks?? We went there on the Love Bus and it was the last stop...and because it was the last stop, hence my confusion!!! ;)
I copied this photo :rolleyes: from the Facebook page "LTU Pub, Negril's West End"Quote:

I stay across the street at Catcha Falling Star Gardens so LTU is where We eat all our breakfasts and a lot of dinners too. The last 2 trips, 2010 and 2011, they were working on rebuilding the sea access. I like to snorkel every day possible while in Negril so it's important to have somewhere close. All the other access is private along that stretch of cliffs. You can get in at Rick's but they open the gates later than I like to go out. Besides, it's Ricks... Last time I negotiated access via a tunnel under the road at Villa Sur Mer next door (WOW!) or walked down the road to CFS. Seems to me that if LTU just let it be known there is snokeling access they could create a little trade that isn't there now. I would love to find access somewhere like the Caves so I could snorkel that big bay in front of Rexy's and Sir D's.
Soon Come,,,,
You may be thinking of Sir D'sQuote:

Just returned from Negril and after 28 days....LTU received the honor of "best meal" for me! I highly recommend the pan fried snapper stuffed with cheese and callaloo. OMG, the dish was off the hook good! Fried with a crispy (yet not greasy) batter, thick cut of snapper with mozzarella (lots of it, I might add) and callallo in between the layers of snapper. Truly fantastic!
Second best this trip, Teddy's at BCC. Great seafood pasta dish!!! 3rd...grilled lobster at Erica's.
I had that on our first visit to LTU on this last trip, I agree it was amazing!Quote:
