The island might be tiny, but there's no shortage of mouthwatering fare, including French dishes, fresh seafood, and Caribbean specialties. Reservations are necessary, as most of the restaurants are quite small.
What to Wear: Restaurants are generally informal. Shorts are fine during the day, but for dinner you may want to wear pants or a sundress. Just remember that Windwardside's elevation can make nights cool.
A cross between an English pub and an Old West saloon—complete with swinging doors, of course—this busy spot is famous for its Friday-night barbecues. Expect plenty of conversation (it's the place of choice for gossip) but not fancy cocktails (it's a no-nonsense watering hole).

A five-minute walk from the road near the Trail Head shop, you’ll find this enchanting hideaway where chef Brian Aylesworth is the mastermind behind the innovative fish, meat, vegetarian, and vegan dishes. The menu changes based on what's fresh each day, and the cocktails are excellent. Dinner here is particularly delightful thanks to twinkling lights and the nighttime sounds of the rain forest.

Everyone also likes to hang out at the Tipsy Goat Bar for happy hour, which is especially rollicking on Friday.
Chat with the locals while buying hearty sandwiches, salads, or something sweet to enjoy with your tea or coffee. The breads offered here include everything from corn and multigrain to sunflower seed and cheese jalapeño.
