3 Best Restaurants in St. Kitts and Nevis

Barely more than a royal blue shack, dressed with vivid murals of cavorting monkeys and replete with a chicken coop, Cooper's (aka Glenda's Place after the owner) is the quintessential local dining experience—as good a place as any to try Caribbean staples like stewed mutton or macaroni pie. There are only two picnic tables, so most locals order their food to go; if you stay, ask for takeout containers anyway (the lids come in handy to repel flies in between bites).

Serving authentic Indian cuisine in a dimly lit casual atmosphere, this relaxing spot serves heaping portions of tikka marsala, mutton vindaloo, and fluffy basmati rice. The menu is separated into appetizers, vegetarian, seafood, and lamb specialties. Stand out dishes include goan fish curry, dal tadka, and channa masala.

A charming little café and brunch spot for those craving Nutella-covered French toast or a BLT. Perched on the second floor of a cute home in the middle of downtown Charlestown, this is a spot beloved by locals, and often missed by visitors. Dishes are fresh and light, with specials of the day being the shining star.
