  • 1. Bananas

    $$$

    The wildly diverse experiences of peripatetic English owner Gillian Smith inform every aspect of this restaurant, which is set in a classic plantation greathouse she herself painstakingly built and decorated with an array of items: colonial pith helmets, carved pineapple chairs, calabash chandeliers, dressmaker dummies, Turkish kilims, and Moroccan lamps. From bourbon-glazed guava ribs to lobster linguine in saffron cream, the dishes are equally eclectic, and the selection of aged rum—from Appleton to Zacapa—is sterling. The property, which is surrounded by extravagant gardens, also features an art gallery in a faux chattel house.

  • 2. Hermitage Plantation Inn

    $$$

    After cocktails in the antiques-filled parlor, head to the verandah for a dinner featuring dishes often made with ingredients from the inn's herb garden, fruit trees, and livestock collection. The scrumptious cured meats, baked goods, preserves, and ice creams are homemade, and the traditional wood-burning oven yields incredible thin-crust pizza. Wednesday night pig roasts are an island must; Friday night pizza and Caribbean cicchetti (small side dishes) are quite popular. The ever-growing wine list is exceptionally priced, and the entire evening is spiced with bon mots and bonhomie from a scintillating mix of locals, expats, and guests.

    $$$$

    Focusing on Caribbean flavors with heavy influences from Africa, the Middle East, and a bit of Italy, this spot is situated in a courtyard surrounded by a lush tropical garden. Begin with tapas-style dishes like the seafood au gratin and wild mushroom tartelette shine, before moving on to exciting entrées like the fire-grilled local lobster seasoned with star anise and cinnamon, served with saffron rice and lobster butter sauce.

  • 4. Mango

    $$$$

    This sophisticated beach bar at the Four Seasons is a perennial hot spot thanks, in part, to an outdoor deck overlooking the illuminated water and a farm- and sea-to-table menu (half of which is gluten free) showcasing local ingredients—many grown by the staff. Dishes might include cornmeal-dusted soft shell crab over curried black beans and shishito peppers in coriander-lime sour cream, slow-roasted goat tamale, lobster fritters with lime aioli, or mango-Myer's rum baby back ribs.

Guests can nosh on local queen snapper tiradito, conch fritters, and seafood paella at lunch and dinner. In the evening there's a bar bites menu featuring easy hand-held dishes (like mahimahi tacos and smoked Nevisian chicken wings) that pair well with the extensive wine and cocktail menu.

  • 6. Restaurant 750

    $$$$

    The Hoffman family presides over a scintillating evening: canapés and cocktails in the Montpelier plantation's great room, followed by dinner on the breezy west verandah above the lights of Charlestown. Executive chef Halva Brown uses produce from the inn's organic herb gardens and fruit trees to full advantage on the changing three-course menu, which might start with melt-in-your-mouth tuna tartare or pork belly with curry and apple chutney; segue into gossamer wahoo with artichoke, carrots, and pickled onions in fennel-turmeric sauce; and end with decadent desserts like lemon tart with milk chocolate corn flakes and strawberry coulis. Wines on the exemplary list pair perfectly with the cuisine, and infused rums make the perfect finish. You can take a taste home with you: M Boutique sells homemade jams and sauces.

  • 7. Serendipity

    $$$$

    This stylish restaurant occupies an old Creole home whose charming enclosed patio offers lovely views of Basseterre and the bay. The interior lounge is even more conducive to romantic dining—with cushy sofas, patterned hardwood floors, porcelain lamps, and African carvings—and the ambitious menu reflects co-owner-chef Alexander James's peripatetic postings: crispy fried Brie, spring rolls with plum dipping sauce, mahimahi with a cheese-and-basil crust, teriyaki-glazed tiger shrimp.

    3 Wigley Ave., St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis

  • 8. Spice Mill

    $$$$

    The cuisine at this beachfront beauty references the Caribbean's melting pot of African, French, English, Iberian, Asian, and Dutch influences. But the kitchen and barefoot-chic bar, which is open daily and serves light snacks, also adopt a locavore philosophy, sourcing as much as possible from Kittitian farmers and fishermen (who might troop through the restaurant with 30 just-caught snapper). Hibiscus lovers enjoy the spirits made on-site with local sorrel found throughout the drink menu. Lunch is considerably cheaper and more island-flavored, albeit often overrun by cruise ship passengers.

    St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-765–6706

    Known For

    • Lively clientele
    • Lovely beachfront setting
    • Fresh fish dishes (try the Panko-crusted crab cakes or seafood risotto)
  • 9. The Pavilion

    $$$$

    Imagine a semi-alfresco cathedral of raw limestone coral overlooking a sandy, palm-fringed crescent: that's this ritzy Christophe Harbour beach club (open to nonmembers for dinner only), whose soaring interior contrasts a curved exhibition kitchen, streamlined bar stools, and abstract pendant lamps with sea fans and driftwood, antique settees, and 19th-century black-and-white photos of island scenes. The kitchen similarly combines tradition with innovation, juxtaposing textures, flavors, and colors so that even "traditional" fare like conch fritters is goosed with pickled ginger, passion-fruit coulis, and swirls of jerk mayo. The wine list features some surprising bargains, especially among white varietals, and you can finish your meal in style with one of a dozen aged rums.

  • 10. Arthur's

    $$$

    Named for the beloved late owner of the Golden Lemon Inn, this breezy, beachfront, semi-alfresco eatery on the black sand of Dieppe Bay makes a perfect spot to watch the colorful fishing boats ply the waters. The marine decor—dried sea fans and ship's lanterns—suggest what's best on the sea-to-fork menu, though landlubbers can happily dig into burgers or pulled pork sandwiches.

    St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis

    Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues.
  • 11. Carambola Beach Club

    $$$$

    At this ultra-stylish restaurant, which unfurls sensuously down South Friar's Bay, more casual lunches take full advantage of the beachfront setting, with white tents and hedonistic beach beds (often overflowing with cruise ship passengers). But nighttime is truly spectacular, as outdoor fiber-optic fountains enhance the visual flair of the vast, sleek-but-not-slick interior, replete with eat-in wine cellar and tile-and-layered-wood sushi bar. Sterling starters include the creative maki rolls. Seafood such as herb-marinated grouper in caper cream is masterfully executed; nothing at Carambola is overcooked. The sole letdown is the wine list. Although it's the island's largest, it lacks imagination; however, the by-the-glass selections are at least reasonably priced.

  • 12. Drift

    $$$

    A farm-to-sea-to-table purveyor inside a quaint beach house right along the water serving up a creative menu that changes with the season. Sure there's quintessential coconut shrimp and jerk chicken, but guests will also find dishes like a fresh catch of the day smothered in whatever sauce the chef comes up with on the spot.

    • Nevis lobster salad
    • Great shareable appetizer platters
    • Curry of the day
  • 13. EsQuilina

    $$$

    Come sundown, the Four Seasons breakfast space morphs into a stylish trattoria offering a tapestry of tapas-style tastes—from a silken pear-hazelnut burrata with black truffle and local greens to a pumpkin ravioli that brilliantly counterpoints smoky bacon, crunchy sunflower seeds, and crisped sage with a sweet, satiny filling. Although the interior is a handsome symphony of gold and ecru art deco–inspired accents, the prime seating is on the patio.

  • 14. Fisherman's Wharf

    $$$

    Part of the Ocean Terrace Inn, this extremely casual waterfront eatery is decorated with sail rigging, aqua-colored wave murals, illuminated water features, and mosaic work that gleams like fish scales in a stylish open kitchen. Try the conch chowder, followed by fresh grilled lobster or other shipshape seafood; finish with the memorable passion-fruit cheesecake drizzled with nutmeg-tinged sauce.

  • 16. Marshall's

    $$$

    The pool area of Horizons Villa Resort is transformed into a stylish eatery thanks to smashing ocean views, potted plants, serenading tree frogs, and elegant candlelit tables. Jamaican chef Verral Marshall fuses ultra-fresh local ingredients with global influences. Artfully plated, most dishes are more along the lines of what you'd find at a steakhouse (grilled ribeye), but the Caribbean portion of the menu is where dishes shine, like the curry chicken with pineapple and coconut.

  • 17. Nisbet Great House

    $$$$

    The interior of the greathouse is blissfully air-conditioned and tastefully decorated with equestrian bronzes; antique hurricane lamps; works by famed Nevisian artist Eva Wilkin; and wicker, mahogany, or cherry-wood furnishings. Local ingredients are used as much as possible, and although a more mature clientele dictates menus of straightforward Eisenhower-era options (from house-cured gravlax to filet mignon), longtime executive chef Antonio "Tony" Piani might sneak in a conch-breadfuit-and-dumpling soup or a stuffed lobster.

  • 18. Sip on the Square

    $

    A charming little café and brunch spot for those craving Nutella-covered French toast or a BLT. Perched on the second floor of a cute home in the middle of downtown Charlestown, this is a spot beloved by locals, and often missed by visitors. Dishes are fresh and light, with specials of the day being the shining star.

    • Hearty sandwiches

  • 19. Sprat Net

    $$

    This simple cluster of picnic tables—an island hot spot sheltered by a brilliant-turquoise corrugated-tin roof and decorated with driftwood, life preservers, photos of coastal scenes, and fishnets—sits on a sliver of sand. There's nothing fancy on the menu: just grilled fish, lobster, ribs, and chicken served with mountains of coleslaw and peas and rice. But the fish is amazingly fresh: the fishermen–owners heap their catches on a center table from which you choose your own dinner, then watch it grilled to your specification before dining family-style on paper plates. No wonder cars line up along the road, creating an impromptu jump-up.

  • 20. The Fisherman's Village

    $$$$

    This casual eatery at the Park Hyatt has a splendid dockside setting looking out toward Nevis. Fittingly, the seafood is so fresh that you half expect it to jump onto your patio table (you can see it being prepared in the open kitchen), and the handsome space cannily incorporates traditional ceramic pots, lobster traps, and other fishing implements.

    St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis
