Restaurants are casual affairs indeed, ranging from glorified rum shops to hotel dining rooms. Most serve classic Caribbean fare, including such specialties as goat water (a thick stew of goat meat, tubers, and vegetables that seems to have been bubbling for days), saltfish cake (codfish fritters), home-brewed ginger beer, and freshly made juices from soursop, mango, blackberry (different from the North American species), guava, tamarind, papaya, and gooseberry.
What to Wear: Dress is informal even at dinner, though skimpy attire is frowned upon by the comparatively conservative islanders. Long pants are preferred, albeit not required, for men in the evening.

Formerly Tina's, this restaurant still occupies a pretty, green-and-white wooden building that's garlanded year-round with Christmas lights, a harbinger of the good vibes within, and it's still the best place to eavesdrop on island gossip, as government functionaries file in for lunch (at least when day-trippers don't take over). In a trim room or on a breezy though viewless verandah, dine on old-time dishes like souse or more upscale specialties such as velvety pumpkin soup, proper escargots, and tender lobster in a sultry creole or (even better) tangy garlic sauce.

This delightful coffeehouse percolates with strong java and lively chatter thanks to owners David, Clover, Sun, and Kristina Lea (the folks behind Gingerbread Hill up the road). Volcanic relics, old Montserrat Lime posters, and a wild collection of hats adorn the space. In addition to luscious lattes, you can order bush teas, yummy cinnamon rolls, apple tarts, pure frozen-fruit ice cream, and more. A competitor is always available for a spirited game of chess, darts, or dominoes. All the local artworks and products on the walls are for sale. Hours are irregular, so best to call ahead.

Five different rums power the knockout Olveston Rum Punch, while the animated chatter of locals, expats, and visitors generates its own potent buzz. Picture windows overlook the handsome verandah and gardens at this popular eatery, where chef Sarah Sweeney uses whatever ingredients are available—always creatively—often making fresh wahoo, garlic shrimp, or pork tenderloin. Her sublime sticky toffee pudding, luscious cheesecakes, and mango-ginger crumble are divine. Sailing etchings, period cabinets with mismatched china, and serenading tree frogs create the ambiance of dining at someone's country estate, Caribbean-style. Be sure to call ahead, tables are by reservation only.

Vivacious owners John and Marcia Punter literally hacked Montserrat's most elegant eatery from the rain forest. They poured a concrete floor and dressed it with a billowing, white, rectangular tent, pergolas, palm fronds, potted plants, hardwood chairs, jade hurricane shutters, bronze sculpted candlesticks, and colorful Moroccan-inspired table settings. The menu (posted on a blackboard) changes daily, but always offers one red meat, one white meat, and one seafood entrée. Generally well-executed dishes lean more toward bistro fare (emphasizing beef entrecôte or goat cheese soufflé over such island staples as fish, though specials like oxtail ravioli happily marry both culinary traditions); the signature butterfly shrimp usually precedes entrées. A decent wine list enhances the meal; save room for the Chocolate Sludge. Despite an erratic schedule (reconfirm reservations), hard-to-find location, and overly relaxed service, the ambience is appealingly serene and upscale.

This tranquil, secluded spot—a classic gingerbread chattel-house replica echoing the adjacent historic buildings of the former Olveston estate—fulfills more than half the name's promise. There are few more delightful experiences than relaxing on Mariet's veranda amid a virtual botanical garden or beneath the huge, shady tamarind tree. Lunches are excellent value, but Sunday brunch is the winner (scrumptious eggs Benedict). "Gourmet" is a slight exaggeration, but the all-homemade global menu more than satisfies most palates and wallets. Specialties include stroganoff, chicken cordon bleu, Wiener schnitzel, shrimp stir-fry, and any dessert (try the chocolate mousse or cheesecake).

This gem feels like an update on a colonial Maugham tale, down to the eccentric expats, rumors of royal visits, and wildly eclectic yet elegant decor. Though it technically operates as a "private membership club," anyone can call for reservations. The gingerbread-trim house, swallowed up in elaborate gardens, reputedly hosted Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret during their 1962 trip. The interior features a marvelous mosaic bar (casual wine-and-pasta or pizza dinners are served here and at the downstairs poolside bar), stone walls, hardwood floors, stained glass, Turkish throw rugs, Indonesian kites, and 17th-century French sideboards. The enclosed patio, doubling as the main dining room, enchants with sweeping Caribbean views and fluttering butterflies. There are special evenings, such as the all-you-can-eat Italian and Chinese buffets and Tuesday film screenings. Four-course set-dinner menu choices might include garlic shrimp over linguine in a light Parmesan-cream sauce or slow-roasted pork tenderloin in orange-marmalade sauce. The peripatetic co-owners include the delightful Trevor Stephenson, who will regale you with his "lifestyles of the poor and infamous" anecdotes.
