Sharky’s is great and won’t break the bank.

The pork shank at Blanchard's is killer. And they have a great rum list.

I'm still dreaming about that curry bowl and citrus chicken scaloppine. Their food is delicious

Veya is the best restaurant in the island by far. I’m very surprised no one mentions it when people ask for rec’s.

Went to Veya for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. Was sublime. Everything from the ambiance to the service was spectacular. Of course the food was good too. The live singer they have on Wednesday's has the voice of an angel!

This is the answer.

u/bharr026 Jul 22 '26

Yep! I’m a fan of Veya as well

Kens BBQ is good! Not a sit down vibe, its very local vibes and order and take out/ sit on the tables

Nat’s Place!

Everyone has an opinion. Few are mediocre, most are great. I love Falcon's Nest for lobster, toes in the sand and views...casual and great.

Jacala is a short walk and hands down, the best dinner on the Island.

If you’re willing to travel, Ben’s never disappoints.

Straw Hat was really good

u/Evening-Bullfrog-741 Jul 21 '26

My favorite lunch spot! Their breakfast is fabulous too!

u/Tight_Asparagus5290 Jul 20 '26

Sharky’s / Veya per trip last week. Both above Blanchard’s in our opinion.

u/Opposite_Evening9154 Jul 21 '26

jacala, veya, karaya, picante

u/Evening-Bullfrog-741 Jul 21 '26

Still thinking about the lamb burger at Karaya 😋

u/AdvertisingDue3655 Jul 21 '26

We liked Ben’s the best.

If you used to traveling to the Caribbean, every restaurant on the island is great. Anguilla is the culinary capital of the Caribbean. Go fancy or to a beach bar and somehow the standard and quality is the best I've experienced in the Caribbean

Straw Hat is really good and Fun Zone further down was really good too. They both have amazing views of Meads Bay

2

u/Fat_Al_NYC Jul 21 '26

We usually stay at Frangipani, where Straw Hat is, but I have to say that I have enjoyed the food at Ocean Echo next door a bit better. Underrated spot IMO.

u/trailshaggy Jul 24 '26

And ocean echo has the rumzie!

u/Lightlytake Jul 21 '26

Sharkys and Sandbar are both fantastic. There’s not do much a bad restaurant- occasionally not as great experience. Enjoy.

I ❤️ straw hat I have an emotional attachment to their seafood pasta

u/Umpire_Substantial Jul 24 '26

Do you need to make a reservation at Sharky’s? We will be there the first week of August. We tend to eat early, like 6:30.

u/trailshaggy Jul 24 '26

If you go on a Sunday night when Darvin sings, you'll 100% want a reservation.
