3 Best Restaurants in Anguilla

Cafe Celeste at Malliouhana

$$$$ Fodor's choice

The romantic open-air setting of Cafe Celeste on a promontory overlooking Meads Bay sets the stage for a memorable meal. The café's dishes are inspired by Mediterranean seafaring cultures, including seafood spaghettini or conch tiradito made with soursop, peppers, scallions, and lime. Creativity rules the restaurant. At breakfast, there's an extensive selection including salmon eggs Benedict. Dinners include whole fish, beef tenderloin, lamb chops, and scallops, among many others. Keep this restaurant in mind for a special occasion---it absolutely will not disappoint.

Roy's Bayside Grill

$$$

Roy's is comfort food heaven, whether you crave red snapper fish-and-chips or a hamburger with all the fixings. Come any time of day for good cooking and a friendly vibe. At Saturday and Sunday breakfast try chocolate chip pancakes or a full breakfast with johnnycake. At lunch enjoy the beachfront and an assortment of grills, salads, and more sandwiches. Some of the island's best grilled lobster is served here, along with lovable home-style cooking. Every Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm locals and visitors join the happy hour fun with specials on drinks and food. Sunday is brunch day at Roy's but every day is a special day here. There's free Wi-Fi, too.

Tasty's

$$$

Satisfying everyone's taste buds since 1999, this roadside restaurant in South Hill is a well-known spot for locals and visitors alike. You'll find that breakfast, lunch, tapas, or dinner at Tasty's is, well, very tasty. The restaurant is open from 9 am all the way through to 10 pm, making it the perfect first stop if you land hungry, and it's just a few minutes' drive from the airport or the ferry terminal. Chef-owner Dale Carty trained at Malliouhana, and his careful, confident preparation bears the mark of French culinary training, but the menu is classic Caribbean with a creole edge. It's worth leaving the beach at lunch for the seafood salad. A coconut crusted fish with spicy banana rum sauce is superb, as are the Thai inspired coconut curry chicken and the garlic-infused marinated conch salad. Don't be stuffy—try the goat stew. Yummy desserts end meals on a high note. Don't miss the specials, happy hour on Tuesday and Friday, or the Tasty's Sunday brunch. There's live music on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.
