WHETHER you’re looking for a table for Valentine’s Day in the Caribbean or simply seeking an enchanting evening out, we have you covered. The Caribbean is full of romantic eateries, from cliffside bistros to beachfront haute cuisine. Here are 11 favourites for romantic meals in the region.
Mill Privée — Nevis
One of the region’s unforgettable experiences at the Montpelier Plantation and Beach. Sensational food at a jewel of a property (and available for private dinners, as well).
Graycliff — Nassau
Maybe it’s having a champagne cocktail in the lounge before your meal, or the impeccable service, or the live piano. But eating at what was the Caribbean’s first five-star restaurant is still an unforgettable memory — every time.
Straw Hat — Anguilla
This wonderful eatery is located next to the Frangipani Beach Resort, right at the sand of Meads Bay beach in Anguilla. (Don’t miss the curry goat sliders, above).
Dune — One and Only Ocean Club — Bahamas
With perhaps the most beautiful setting in all of New Providence and Paradise Island, Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Dune is the quintessential romantic dinner in the Caribbean.
Ristorante Pappagallo — Grand Cayman
This Caymanian classic is set on a lagoon; the thatched-roof Pappagallo, a traditional Italian eatery with a Caribbean twist, is elegant but eclectic.
La Balandra — Bonaire
This is the signature restaurant at Bonaire’s most luxurious hotel, the Harbour Village. Set on a dock, it gives the sensation of floating over the sea.
Le Tastevin — St Martin
Set in the heart of one of the region’s culinary capitals, Le Tastevin is a waterfront jewel perfect for an intimate dinner in the Caribbean.
Sugar Mill — Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Eating dinner in a nearly four-centuries old mill in Tortola might make every meal feel like Valentine’s Day.
Strawberry Hill — Jamaica
More than 3,100 feet up in the mountains, this Island Outpost property’s signature restaurant offers one of the best views anywhere in the Caribbean and inspired cuisine from Head Chef and Jamaica native Kingsley McGregor.
Cliff at Cap — St Lucia
The flagship restaurant at the Cap Maison hotel in St Lucia, the aptly-named Cliff at Cap is cliffside dining at its finest. And those views…
Mille Fleurs — Jamaica
Yet another Jamaican restaurant with magical vistas. This eatery at the Hotel Mocking Bird Hill eco-boutique looks out over the Blue Mountains, Port Antonio and the waters of the Caribbean Sea.
