TOP 5 FOR BEST CARIBBEAN CUISINE

because your taste buds should have the time of their lives, too…

If you’re going to treat yourself to a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway on a tropical island, there is no reason your taste buds shouldn’t enjoy a bit of that paradise, too. In fact, the Caribbean is chock full of outstanding and renowned restaurants boasting cuisine so mouthwatering and flavors so bold, that some established food lovers visit these islands just to taste culinary delight. The breathtaking views, unbeatable sunsets, and beachside atmospheres are simply an added bonus. While we’ve unveiled our top 5 dining favorites, there are plentiful options scattered throughout the Caribbean if one of ours doesn’t strike your interest.  Just call one of our expert villa specialists, and we’ll be sure to find the Caribbean escape to perfectly match your tastes.

1. Anguilla

Must try a bite at Madeariman, on Shoal Bay.

Anguilla is an easy choice if you’re seeking delectable dining options, as it is known as the “cuisine capital of the Caribbean.” Keeping up with the consistent upscale nature of the island, restaurants in Anguilla often boast gourmet courses and sensational recipes, both local and foreign. But whether you opt for an intimate seaside setting or more laid-back beachfront experience, the scrumptious dishes and unparalleled culinary creations will be well worth every penny. For a relaxed dinner after a day in the sun, we highly recommend Madeariman on Shoal Bay. Sink your toes into perfectly soft sand and enjoy pizza (yes pizza) and burgers to die for. For the more adventurous palate, the menu also boasts fabulous French and Creole cuisine, all made entirely from scratch.

2. St. Martin

Must try a bite at Les Boucaniers, on Nettle Bay.

Simply put, it’s the variety that makes St. Martin deserving of a spot on our favorites list. As an island covering only 37 square miles, St. Martin is the home of over 400 unique and flavorful restaurants. Not only will you taste some of the finest Caribbean food in the region, but you’ll also have the chance to sample equally delicious dishes from France, Thailand, India, Italy, Japan and other countries around the globe. From fine china to paper plates, St. Martin has it all. The only thing you might need is a second visit to try anything you missed on your first time around. For your first stop, we highly recommend Les Boucaniers on Nettle Bay. Located directly on the beach, you’ll undoubtedly love this authentically Caribbean, elegant gem. Perfectly prepared Creole delights are their number one specialty, but for those with an appetite for international fare, the chefs also specialize in French gastronomy. Be sure to try the fresh catch of the day!

3. St. Barts

Must try a bite at PaCri, in Gustavia.

Famous for its sophisticated yet casual restaurant scene, it’s the dining experience as much as the delectable cuisine that makes St. Barts such an unforgettable island in terms of fabulous food. For instance, there is no better place to enjoy a 5-star gourmet meal without worrying about dress code. Whether you choose to dress down or dress up, the cuisine, the views, and the service will all be fit for royalty in St. Barts. We highly recommend enjoying a candle lit, yet casual, dinner at PaCri in Gustavia. The Italian cuisine is so authentic and delicious; you might just think, for a second, that you traveled overseas for such a meal. The warm ambiance and the genuinely kind wait staff only serve to enhance an already unparalleled dining experience.

4. Turks & Caicos

Must try a bite at Lemon Cafe, on Grace Bay.

A relatively undiscovered paradise, Turks & Caicos impressively boasts expert chefs from around the globe as well as unsurpassed Caribbean delicacies you can’t find anywhere else. In addition to the colorful flavor and mouthwatering dishes, this out-of-the-way island in known for incorporating gorgeous island scenery into every restaurant. Something also must be said about their perfectly mixed rum punch and fruit cocktails. For an especially memorable meal, we highly recommend Lemon Mediterranean near Grace Bay, where you can sample the island’s best Mediterranean cuisine in a cozy, yet exotic atmosphere. The chic feel of the open air restaurant trickles into the menu as well, as the fresh and tantalizing dishes often boast a flavorful twist you’re bound to enjoy.

5. Barbados

Must try a bite at The Tides Restaurant, in Holetown.

The superb local fare, fresh fish, and continental cuisine are only a few of the reasons that make Barbados a superior island for Caribbean dining. While the impressive selection of restaurants rivals some of the largest dining capitals of the world, it’s the authenticity and kindness of the island’s people that make this a favorite of ours.  Whether you prefer an intimate setting or a feet-in-the-sand affair, it’s a rarity that you’re ever greeted without a genuine smile and a welcoming manner. Dishes are always happily catered to your tastes, whether you’re enjoying a burger or a mahi mahi filet. For an especially noteworthy experience, we highly recommend The Tides Restaurant in Holetown. You’ll choose from a delectable array of dishes and enjoy each bite from a tree house on the tranquil water’s edge… yes, a tree house (something you must see to believe). And representing true Barbados charm, you’ll be amazed by the warm superior service from the moment you arrive to the minute you leave.
