The Best Anguilla Restaurants from a Foodie!
Just returned from the fabulous island of Anguilla. Stayed at the Viceroy and it was Paradise.
Went to the best restaurants and here is my list - in order of best first:
Jacala - unbelievable fabulous! Gorgeous setting, on the beach. Food was incredible.
Veya - beautiful little island house - delicious food, chef was wonderful. Must order the chocolate dessert - it's beyond belief!!
Davida - Excellent
Barrel Stay - Wonderful
Mango's - fabulous setting - great food
Cuisinart - outdoor barbecue poolside - good but not worth the price of $95.00 per person
Hibernia - no, no, no - it is a has been and very far from anywhere. Not worth the ride at all.
You won't go wrong with this list!

Which room did you stay in at the Viceroy? We are planning a trip this year and there seems to be so many different options at the Viceroy, but we'd like to try someplace new this time.
A few of our favorites from last May...
- Veya (two fabulous dinners - order the shrimp cigar appetizer)
- Trattoria Tramonto: At lunch we loved the scenic beach view and Magga's friendliness and warmth. Thoroughly enjoyed the lime prosecco, Parmesan salad with a variety of mixed greens and vegetables, cream based chicken and prosciutto chowder, and then we split the lobster ravioli with white truffle cream sauce that the chef was generous to make it even though it is on the dinner menu. What a delicious meal! We had to come back a second time for the lobster ravioli.
- Le Bon Pain: The most amazing chocolate croissants and pastries!
- Mango's: agree with cake's comments above about the setting and seafood was fresh
- Picante: Nice for a more casual night; staff were friendly. The chorizo con queso was a flavorful start, seafood enchiladas - yummy, and churros - oh my! Even though we were not on the beach, the meal was a satisfying way to end the day.

Sandbar is supreme for seaside tapas

Just returned from Anguilla. Best "high end" dinner we had was at Oliver's. Try the Cinnamon Basil Shrimp on Angel Hair for a very unique flavour. I also enjoyed the Crayfish baked in the oven. Very creamy. Loved Sand Bar for Tapas. The owner who is behind the bar makes incredible mixed drinks. More reasonable than the "high end" places. Went to Veya for soup and appetizers. Was not blown away by the shrimp cigar. Went to Hibernia. Did not enjoy as much as Oliver's. Le Bon Pain for the coconut danish. Koal Keel for the pain au chocolat but get there early. Chef, maitre d' and some of the staff from Luna Rosa have opened a new Italian restaurant on Sandy Ground just this week called Dolce Vita. Uncle Ernie's - lousy service and not great food. Tratoria Tremonte for panini late in the afternoon and really good rum punch and friendly service. Smokey's on Sat. afternoon for music and lunch. Now...I diet.
