Dine among the mountains at some of the fantastic St. Lucia restaurants that offer great views to go with great food. Consider starting out with some of these favored dining restaurants in St. Lucia.
Spice of India
Excellent food! Great flavors. Beautiful ambiance. Really a great experience. Superb service”. are just some of the comments made by one of many patrons of the Spice of India Restaurant in Saint Lucia.
The brainchild of Chef Adil, Spice of India is truly a sophisticated Indian restaurant situated in the heart of Rodney Bay. There he celebrates his passion for cooking fine foods by bringing a modern flair to the ancient, traditional Indian Tandoor technique of cooking to St Lucia. Diners can enjoy watching Indian and St. Lucian chefs (under training) in their open display kitchen.
The food is kept as authentic as it can be, utilising ancient recipes but is presented in a very clean and crisp manner to soothe your palette as well as your visual senses. By making full use of the freshest ingredients and keeping the food clean to its true nature, Spice of India hopes to clarify the misconception that Indian cuisine is greasy, hot and spicy.
The Edge Restaurant and Sushi Bar
The Edge is a fine-dining restaurant and sushi bar owned by celebrity chef Bobo Bergstrom. The Edge is simply one of St. Lucia’s top fine dining restaurants with a ‘mature’ cellar to tempt any wine connoisseur. Chef Bobo, whom once upon a time was the head chef for the restaurant that catered to the Swedish Royal family, moved to St. Lucia and fused his fine dining culinary skills with local ingredients to create gastronomic master pieces. The restaurant sits on the marina and is one of the more romantic restaurants to visit. The sushi is the best you would find on island, and the fine dining menu is simply sumptuous.
The Cliff at Cap Maison
Perched high on a bluff looking over the Caribbean ocean, The Cliff enjoys light breezes providing a delightful relief from the heat. On a clear day you, can see Martinique in the distance. On Saturday evenings the chef features a tapas menu, which is an elaborate tasting experience. It is extremely popular, so book well in advance.
While pretty much every item on the menu is noteworthy, outsanding offerings include salmon and blue marlin tartare, asparagus panna cotta, linguine of wild mushrooms, and bruschetta of oven-roasted plum tomatoes. And for dessert, go for the Julie mango bread and butter pudding, Caribbean tiramisu coconuts and rum, and jungle fruit salad.
Dasheene Restaurant
Of all the restaurants in Saint Lucia, Dasheene has undoubtedly the most spectacular views: close-ups of the twin Pitons and the sea between them.
Dasheene is located at the Ladera Resort in Soufriere in the south of the island. It’s a trek, if you are staying in the north, but it’s really worth it. One of the best ways to reach the restaurant is by boat and the hotel will collect you by car at the jetty.
At Dasheene you feel as if you are on top of the world, since the place is perched 1100 feet above sea level. Like the rest of the resort, Dasheene is open to the view, so when you are outside, you are inside and vice versa. (The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Men must wear collared shirts and long pants for dinner.)
Top Sunday Brunches in Saint Lucia
Brunch is the ideal setting for commiserating with friends about how you just can’t party like you used to. By the time you’ve had your hair of the dog and soothed yourself with more bakes or bacon than one should ever rightly indulge in, you’ll be restored and ready to turn a Sunday write-off into a Sunday take-off. Who knows where the day might take you’
The Pink Plantation House
Offers a full Creole experience. There are standards like pancakes and the ubiquitous English breakfast, but what really sells the Pink House, apart from its gorgeous views and garden, is the Creole breakfast. Nowhere this side of Assou Square can you get such fantastic light floats, served with garlic butter. Have with saltfish or herring and cucumber, or substitute a satisfying serving of breadfruit, and you are good to go.
The Landings
Live music, bay views and culinary delights. What’s not to love about brunch at The Landings’ Yacht Haven Restaurant’ This is where the uber-chic go to linger over breakfast. Elegant loungewear is a must, so pull out that broad-brimmed hat and your Chanel sunglasses. Enjoy an extensive buffet with ribs, steak, shrimp, and local offerings of pepperpot and accra. Live action stations for omelette, stir fry or pasta mean that you get it your way, every time.
Windjammer Landing
The family-oriented brunch buffet is a Sunday lunch really, though there is the concession to breakfast with eggs, sausages and bacon. But you won’t want eggs and bacon when you can have roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, scalloped potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Live music, an al fresco deck right on the beach and flowing mimosas and life is good.
The Edge
Chef Bobo’s morning choices are served on a marina-front deck in the heart of Rodney Bay. In theory, you could make a day break in Saint Lucia’s party district after shaking a leg or hogging the mic at karaoke. Then take an early-morning dip at Reduit Beach and hit The Edge for some sustenance. Choose from one of the breakfast platters, including the Saint Lucian breakfast: saltfish, bakes, local jam, cucumber salad, coconut water or juice and fresh fruit, or order a la carte to design your own omelette or filling breakfast smoothie.
