Jost Van Dyke Restaurants

Restaurants on Jost Van Dyke are informal (some serve meals family-style at long tables), but charming. The island's a favorite charter-boat stop, and you're bound to hear people exchanging stories about the previous night's anchoring adventures. Reservations are not mandatory, but it’s a good idea to call ahead in season for dinner. In all cases dress is casual. Most of the restaurants are also known for their nightlife, particularly during the weekends. Meal prices are fairly consistent across the island, with dinner entrées usually varying by a few dollars.

  • 1. Hendo's Hideout

    $$$

    This upscale but family-friendly beach bar at White Bay beach features a handsome wood bar, lounge area, and hammocks nestled in among the palm trees, making you feel as if you're at a small resort. The pulled pork tacos are excellent, and bottomless mimosas are served with Sunday brunch. Come on Thursday night for sushi prepared with locally sourced tuna; the dinner menu ventures into more refined territory with offerings like tomahawk steak, lobster ravioli, and vegetarian pad Thai.

  • 2. Ali Baba's

    $$$

    Lobster is the main attraction at this beach bar with a sandy floor, which is just some 20 feet from the sea. Grilled local fish—including swordfish, kingfish, and wahoo—are caught fresh daily, and the BabaQ ribs are the house specialty. Hammocks on the deck are made for swaying and supping on Ali Baba's special rum punch, as potent as it is delicious. Reservations are a good idea at dinner.

  • 4. Foxy's Tamarind Bar and Restaurant

    $$$

    The big draw here is the owner, Foxy Callwood, a famed calypso singer who will serenade you with funny songs as you fork into grilled chicken, burgers, barbecue ribs, and lobster. Check out the pennants, postcards, and weathered T-shirts that adorn every inch of the walls and ceiling of this large, two-story beach bar; they've been left by previous visitors who are mostly either day-trippers from elsewhere in the Virgin Islands or yacht owners. On Friday and Saturday nights, Foxy's hosts a Caribbean-style barbecue with grilled fresh fish, chicken and ribs, peas and rice, salad, and more, followed by live music. Other nights choose from steak, fresh lobster, pork, or pasta; at lunch Foxy serves sandwiches and salads. The drinks are strong no matter what time of day you order them. Foxy's is one of the most reliable eating establishments on Jost. You're unlikely to find Foxy performing at night, but he takes the mike many afternoons and makes time to mingle with guests—this a popular happy-hour pit stop. The all-night "Old Years" party here is the biggest New Years Eve celebration in the Caribbean.

  • 5. Seddy's One Love Bar and Grill

    $$$

    Top dishes at this beachfront eatery include seafood freshly caught by owner Seddy, who also may come to your table and perform magic tricks. Local lobster finds its way into nachos and quesadillas, and the Food Network's Alton Brown once sought out this beachfront eatery and featured its stewed conch on a flavor-finding trip. Try the specialty drinks—a Bushwacker or a tri-colored One Love Marley.
