The Best Restaurant in Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands

Background Illustration for 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.

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.
