2 Best Restaurants in North Shore, Tortola

The sunset sea-and-mountain views are stunning at this poolside restaurant at the Heritage Inn, so arrive early for the predinner happy hour. Caribbean fusion best describes the fare, with an emphasis on steaks, seafood, and pasta, including shrimp swimming in ginger butter sauce and pork tenderloin marinated in rum. One of the better wine lists on the island and a selection of frozen drinks vie for attention at the bar.

Candles gleam and the background music is peaceful in this romantic restaurant inside a 17th-century sugar mill. Well-prepared selections on the French-inspired à la carte menu, which changes nightly, include pasta and vegetarian entrées, but the best deal is the three-course prix-fixe menu. Conch fritters with mango chutney for dredging is a good starter. Favorite entrées include scallops in Champagne sauce, smoked duck breast, and a "risottera" menu of rice dishes. Save room for dessert, which include a locally grown banana flambéed in rum.
