Tasty's or E's Oven: Eat Local

by bsfreeloader

Anguilla has some excellent dining options, but few of them are cheap. Two locally owned and operated restaurants that are justifiably popular with locals and tourists alike are Tasty’s and E’s Oven. Not surprisingly, seafood features prominently on both menus. One of Tasty’s most popular dishes and the chef’s favorite is a seafood salad featuring conch, lobster, shrimp, scallops, and mahi mahi. Both restaurants serve a coconut-crusted fish fillet with spicy banana rum sauce.

Ripples: Celebrities abound

by evilprebil

This is considered an English pub in the Caribbean. We went here for lunch in the off season so itwas very quiet. Though we did see all the celeb pictures on the wall (Mariah Carey in a camo skirt, nice!). The food was good and the beer was Great! We were right next to the road, but even though it was busy, it still retained its charm (chickens and chicks crossed the road) Fish & Chips were AMAZING.

Malliouhana: Beautiful, Classic French

by evilprebil

There's no sign we ever saw, its a "gated" resort. Up some narrow hilly roads to a Mediterranean styled hotel. Our table was right along the the edge of the cliff - beautiful crashing waves in the background. Be wary of the tiled steps down to the restaurant - don't wear new stilettos like I did! The service is impeccable, the food beautiful and the menu very extensive. It is very classically French, with a few other additions. Well worth a stop for anyone who loves food. Calamari Risotto! It's an appetizer but my stepfather actually requested and had it as it as a main entree. Everything was absolutely lovely. The wine list is AMAZING!!!

Smokey's: Smokin'!

by evilprebil

We loved the food at this restaurant so much that we took our friends back for lunch the next day! Very casual, but that doesn't mean the food is! We loved everything we ate there. The dishes were local, the view beautiful. The service was always friendly and the prices reasonable. We shared the Smokey's Sacafete the first time (African wingettes, curry roti, fish kebab and honey ribs) and it was fabulous. Helps you to decide which main dish you get the next time! The curried goat is also outstanding if they have it. Watch out for the little bones though!

Blanchard's: The Famous Place

by evilprebil

One of the most talked about restaurants on Anguilla! Quite a beautiful location and very comfortable inside. Service is friendly and attentive - though a bit scattered. The food was outstanding, but I thought the the portions didn't reflect the price. It's worth a visit but I thought there were better choices. Wine list was good. The two appetizers we had were phenomenal (though once again, very small) the vegetable spring rolls and the pistachio crusted goat cheese salad. The lobster was excellent and you should definitely save room for dessert. The cracked coconut was decadent!

See in Text: Restaurants we enjoyed

by Famfour

As for dining, we did not have a bad meal. We loved walking down to Cedar Grove at Rendezvous Bay Hotel and Villas where we stayed. The on-the-water setting, friendly service and delicious food at Straw Hat made for a special evening. For more casual dining, we really enjoyed Tastey’s and Smokeys. The latter is also on the water, but our view was lost when yet another thunderstorm brought strong winds and a driving rain against which the window covers had to be lowered.

Big Jim's: Cheap, Quick and Convenient

by michanth

Big Jim's seems to be a local hangout. I was probably the only one of our group who liked it. They serve barbeque ribs and whatever their special is going to be for the day. It's very casual where you can order from the window and sit at the picnic tables out front. They do have some tables inside as well. You can't beat the prices and the servings were more than generous. Ribs were good.

Tasty's: Good food at Tasty's

by pumarega

We spent most of the time eating at the Malliouhana hotel or at the Cuisinart, but Tasty's sticks out in my head as being one of the better meals we had on the island that didn't cost an arm or a leg. (It only cost one foot)There is nothing special about the service. It's on island time, just like everything else in Anguilla. You may have to hunt for your waiter to get anything done, but don't take it personally. That's just the way it is in Anguilla.Their use of Curry Powder in a lot of their dishes gives the food somewhat of an Indian flavor. Everything that was ordered was pretty good. My personal favorites were the drinks. They make a tasty rum punch.

English Rose: A nice pub.

by pumarega

We ended up at the English Rose on Sunday to watch the World Cup match of Italy vs France. The resturant was scheduled to be closed that day, but a waiter we met at Koal Keel resturant was a relative of the Owner of the English Rose and had the Resturant opened for us on that day. I thought that was very nice of them. The resturant was not serving food and the kitchen was closed, but the drinks were cheap ($3 USD) and we had the place all to our selves. The Rose has a big screen TV which made it ideal for watching Zidane go berserk and headbut Marco Materazzi in the final minuites of overtime.

Cap Juluca: $120 buffet dinner for two

by ktduncan

Not bad, but not great. $120 for a buffet? Was about as good as most buffets too - average. A comparable buffet would be at Ladera in St Lucia which was better and a bit cheaper. I don't know, I just have a problem with paying $120 to wait in line to serve myself.We were not guests there, but the saving grace was that we went during the managers social night, so we got some free drinks to offset the price. Not to mention you get to meet the guests, some of which are pretty interesting.For the $$ and the quality, I would have rather eaten at Corals, Johnos, or Grillers 20 times over and still $$ for more than my fair share of beer.
