Which island offers the best in dining?
 
I hate to admit it, but I am a food junkie-I am currently weighing in at slim 400 lbs., which is down from 525. I am on my way down!!!! However, while on vacation, I am looking forward to pigging out. Which island offers the best restaurants/fine dining overall. Sadly enough, I will base my decision on where to vacation on your input on this, so please be honest. Thanks!!!

I would propose Grand Cayman. Wonderful choice of restaurants and a good variety of food.

Anguilla, hands down. Tiny island -- nearly 80 restaurants with classically trained chefs at a lot of them. Look at http://menus.ai which is a gastronomic experience itself.

Is that the best site Anguilla has to offer for restaurants????? Try caymanrestaurants.com to see a quality site.

One should not make a decision based on websites alone. Anguilla does have a well-deserved reputation for terrific restaurants. They have been featured in magazines such as Gourmet, etc, several times. While Cayman has great restaurants too, they also have a lot more money to spend on tourism promotion. <BR>

I agree with Sandy Feet. I found Anguilla to be the best choice for amazing food in the Caribbean.<BR>One caveat, most of the top places close down during at least part of the low season. (Many for one month or more.)

That's discusting, and sad for you. I hope you know that you now have to buy 2 seats on the plane and rightly so. I can't stand sitting next to people like you with half your body (or more) in my seat. <BR>I would suggest Anguilla or St. Barth's but I honestly don't think you will fit in the seats for the connecting flight as the row is narrow and the seats are small! <BR><BR>I really hope this post was a joke, fat sow, because you relly need help if you base a vacation on food.<BR><BR>You can always go to New Orleans and eat your way thru that town - one of the eating capitals of the world.

Without a doubt it is Saint Martin. Although there are many other restaurants on the island, you have a choice of 18 restaurants in Grand Case. The area is considered the Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean:<BR><BR>http://www.grandcase.com/

Thanx for the laugh! Doesn't everyone realize this was someone 'pulling your leg' and you all fell for it!

Who cares if it is - people I think still are enjoying speaking of their dining experiences.<BR><BR>Lighten Up
