  • 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.

  • 3. On The Dune

    $$$

    The newest restaurant at the Four Seasons, On The Dune is an upscale poolside spot with stunning views of the ocean and the entire property. 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.

  • 4. 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.

    Montpelier Estate, Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis

  • 5. 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

  • 6. 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)
  • 7. 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
    869-465–1004

    Known For

    • Delightful seaside setting
    • Charming staff
    • Fab lobster pot pie, coconut seafood chowder, and other fish dishes

    Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues.
  • 8. 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.

  • 9. Cooper's Bar

    $

    Barely more than a royal blue shack, dressed with vivid murals of cavorting monkeys and replete with a chicken coop, Cooper's (aka Glenda's Place after the owner) is the quintessential local dining experience—as good a place as any to try Caribbean staples like stewed mutton or macaroni pie. There are only two picnic tables, so most locals order their food to go; if you stay, ask for takeout containers anyway (the lids come in handy to repel flies in between bites).

    Main St., Gibbons Hill, St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-664–7162

    Known For

    • Enormous servings
    • Cheap prices
    • Luscious house-cooked fare

  • 10. 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, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–2777

    • Nevis lobster salad
    • Great shareable appetizer platters

    $

    Serving authentic Indian cuisine in a dimly lit casual atmosphere, this relaxing spot serves heaping portions of tikka marsala, mutton vindaloo, and fluffy basmati rice. The menu is separated into appetizers, vegetarian, seafood, and lamb specialties. Stand out dishes include goan fish curry, dal tadka, and channa masala.

  • 12. 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.

    • Quaint environment
    • Friendly staff
  • 13. 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
    869-468–1234

    Known For

    • Glorious patio seating
    • Stellar seafood
    • Happy hours, theme nights, and buffet evenings take the sting out of otherwise exorbitant prices

  • 14. The Gin Trap

    $$$

    This split-level space lives up to its "Let the Evening Be Gin" mantra, but succulent seafood and myriad house-made items (from pastas to infused oils to baked goods) ensure that gin isn't the sole reason to visit. The inlaid-wood bar—where free popcorn is served in whimsical oversize glasses—and adjacent patio make smart settings for the mixologist's wizardry; cushy leather seating with Union Jack and American flag throw pillows, huge model boats doubling as drink carts, and steamer trunks serving as coffee tables complete the fun, funky look.

    Main Rd., Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–8230

    Known For

    • Stunning sunsets from patio
    • Extraordinary selection of gin with tasting flights

  • 15. The Kitchen

    $$$

    This stunner in the so-called greathouse—the soaring stone-steel-and-wood space of Belle Mont Farm at Kittitian Hill—serves sustainable seasonal treats, sourced from the farm itself and other local suppliers who practice ethical farming, fishing, and animal husbandry. Begin your evening with ultra-fresh, handcrafted cocktails in the handsome Mill Bar, and then repair to the main dining room or Caribbean-view terrace for an array of delightful dinner options.

  • 16. The Rocks at Golden Rock

    $$$$

    This glam eatery's tiered garden is a masterpiece: glass panels and ceilings display the night sky while reflecting patio lights; silvery waterfalls, pools, and fountains filigree the grounds; strategically placed boulders resemble hulking Henry Moore sculptures; and flowers as well as fire-engine-red directors' chairs and a tarp add pops of color. Contemporary and colonial artworks from Mali and Afghanistan grace the interior, where the kitchen doesn't always match the setting's creativity; still the jerk pork, pan-roasted snapper, or justly celebrated conch chowder (perfectly chunky with a touch of heat offsetting the creamy base) are solid choices.

    Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–3346

    Known For

    • Striking design
    • Expert re-inventions of Caribbean classics
    • Fabulous lobster rolls at lunch

  • 17. Yachtsman Grill

    $$$$

    This beachfront eatery features nautical decor (sailboat models, keels, fishing rods, outboard motors) and seafood to match (pick your own lobster from the tank). Steaks, barbecue ribs, and lamb chops are also on offer, and there's a wood-fired pizza oven. The place overflows with good cheer, especially during the joyous happy hours. Oenophiles will appreciate the Cruvinet dispensing several wines by the glass; the convivial owners, Greg and Evelyn, adore Austrian bottlings.

    Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–1382

    Known For

    • Enviable beach setting
    • Excellent, fairly reasonable wine list
    • House-baked goods and pizzas
