    Walk down a garden path to Chateau Mygo (a colloquial corruption of "Marigot") or sail up on your boat, pick out a table on the deck of this popular dockside restaurant, and soak up the waterfront atmosphere of what may be the Caribbean's prettiest bay. The tableau is mesmerizing—and that's at lunch, when you can order a sandwich, burger, roti, fish- or chicken-and-chips, salads, or grilled fish or savory coconut chicken with peas and rice and vegetables. At dinner, owner/chef Shaid Rambally draws on three generations of East Indian and Creole family recipes. Beautifully grilled fresh tuna, red snapper, kingfish, mahimahi, and local lobster are embellished with flavors such as ginger, mango, papaya, or passion fruit, and then dished up with regional vegetables—perhaps callaloo, okra, dasheen, breadfruit, christophene, or yams. You can also have roast pork, beef, a chicken dish, pizza, or sushi. This is a very casual restaurant with delicious, reasonably priced meals. And, oh, that view!

    The terrace restaurant at Ladera Resort has breathtaking, close-up views of the Pitons and the sea between them, especially beautiful at sunset. The atmosphere is casual by day and magical at night. Appetizers may include silky sweet-potato-and-coconut soup or Caribbean lamb salad. Typical entrées are "fisherman's catch" with a choice of flavored butters or sauces, shrimp Dasheene (panfried with local herbs), grilled rack of lamb with coconut risotto and curry sauce, or pan-seared fillet of beef marinated in a lime-and-pepper seasoning. Light dishes, pasta dishes, and fresh salads are also served at lunch—along with that million-dollar view.

    Chef-owner Jacky Rioux creates magical dishes in his waterfront restaurant set within the gardens of Harmony Suites Hotel in Rodney Bay. The cooking is decidedly French, as is Rioux, but fresh produce and local spices create a memorable fusion cuisine. You might start with a bowl of Mediterranean fish soup, a grilled portobello mushroom, or tomato-and-basil tart. Main dishes include fresh-caught fish grilled with lime and olive oil, grilled rack of lamb, and breast of chicken stuffed with mushrooms and prosciutto in a Bordeaux wine reduction. The wine list is impressive. And on Sunday, don't miss the jazz brunch.

    Chef Orlando Satchell's second restaurant opened on "restaurant row" in busy Rodney Bay Village in 2020. As in the original Orlando's restaurant in Soufrière, the renowned chef's signature "Share the Love" Caribbean cuisine is the focus here, which means using local ingredients—organic as much as possible. On the dinner menu, for example, the "island" salad combines green mango and christophene; baby back ribs come with a BBQ sauce fortified with local Chairman's rum; rack of lamb is marinated in St. Lucian cocoa and served with mashed callaloo and a guava and red wine jus; and the chicken breast is seasoned with ginger and soaked in Piton beer before being grilled to perfection.

    Aah . . . chocolate! Here on the Rabot Estate, a working cocoa plantation, that heavenly flavor is infused into just about every dish—cacao gazpacho or citrus salad with white chocolate dressing for starters. The main course might be red snapper roasted in cacao butter, rib-eye steak "matured and infused" with cacao nibs, cacao- and herb-encrusted pork medallions, or local dorado fillet with a port wine and cacao sauce. You get the picture. Dessert, of course, is the grand chocolate finale: cacao crème brûlée, meringue floating in a sea of chocolate crème anglaise, dark chocolate mousse, even cacao sorbet. Yum.

    For a special evening, head for this Cap Estate restaurant on the premises of BodyHoliday Saint Lucia resort. On a second-floor balcony at the edge of Cariblue Beach, you'll enjoy a pleasant breeze and a starry sky while you dine on fusion cuisine—mouthwatering Asian tastes with a Caribbean touch. Appetizers such as Thai-style coconut soup, rice paper vegetable rolls, or Peking duck pancakes can be followed by roast lamb shank in yellow curry sauce, braised chicken breast with bok choy in honey-soy-ginger sauce, beef roulade with callaloo, or a platter of glistening sushi. Fine wines accompany the meal, desserts are extravagant, and service is superb. Seating is limited and hotel guests have priority, so reserve early.

    High on top of a cliff at the northern tip of Saint Lucia, the open-air dining room at Cap Maison welcomes diners to what executive chef Craig Jones calls "nouveau" French--West Indian cuisine. True, he incorporates local vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices with the best meats and fresh-caught seafood you'll find on the island; but the technique and presentation—and the service—lean more toward the French. Lucky Cap Maison guests who choose a meal plan get to dine here daily, but nonguests make up about 40% of the dinner clientele. Day or night, this is one of the loveliest dining venues on Saint Lucia. At lunch, the view on a clear day stretches to Martinique; in the evening, twinkling stars and waves crashing far below lend an air of romance. And the Friday night "Maison Deli Dinner" (wines, charcuterie, and artisanal cheeses) in Cellar Maison, which boasts more than 2,000 bottles, is quite special.

    Popular since it opened in 1968, this tiny waterfront restaurant overlooks pretty Vigie Cove. Come for a light lunch—perhaps a bowl of creamy pumpkin soup, Greek salad with chicken or shrimp, or broiled fresh fish—or enjoy an exquisite French-inspired dinner under the stars. You might start with a divine lobster bisque, followed by fresh seafood accompanied by one (or more) of the chef's fabulous sauces—ginger, coconut-curry, lemon-garlic butter, or wild mushroom. Heartier eaters may prefer duck, lamb, beef, or chicken laced with peppercorns, red wine, onion, or Roquefort sauce.

    Stop in for a chat and a cup of coffee—and, of course, Zaka's rather brilliant artwork. In his studio in nearby Malgretoute, artist and craftsman Simon "Zaka" Gajhadhar (and his team of local artists and wood carvers) fashion totems and masks from driftwood, branches, and other environmentally friendly wood sources—taking advantage of the natural nibs and knots that distinguish each piece. Once the "face" is carved, it is painted in vivid colors to highlight the exaggerated features and provide expression. Zaka also offers hand-carved and painted fish, turtles, and calabash.

    India has had an important influence on the Caribbean islands, from the heritage of their people to the colorful madras plaids and the curry flavors that are a staple of Caribbean cuisine. At night, Anse Chastanet's Trou au Diable restaurant transforms into Apsara, an extraordinarily romantic, candlelit, beachfront dining experience with modern Indian cuisine. The innovative menu, mixing East Indian and Caribbean cooking, produces food that's full of flavor but not too spicy, although you can opt for some hotter dishes. Roasted cashew nut and raisin samosas with chunky mango-ginger sauce might be followed by pickled goat vindaloo, or tandoori-roasted salmon, lamb, or chicken. Definitely order the naan, either plain, stuffed with cheese, onion, and chili, or flavored with almond, coconut, and raisins. For dessert, choose the mango, saffron, or sea moss kulfi (Indian-style ice cream) or go all the way with Apsara's Temptation (tandoori-baked pineapple with honey, saffron, and passion-fruit syrup, kulfi, and sun-blushed chili).

    The small, rustic pair of restaurants are two of the most popular spots to enjoy a Creole lunch when touring the natural sights in and around Soufrière. Bamboo offers à la carte options at both lunch and dinner while the Creole Pot has a buffet lunch of stewed chicken, grilled fish, rice and beans, macaroni and cheese, caramelized plantains, figs (green bananas), breadfruit balls, purple yams, salad, and more. Nearly all ingredients are locally sourced. Wash it all down with a rum punch or local fruit juice, and finish with something sweet such as coconut or banana cake. Dinner at The Creole Pot, by candlelight, is à la carte: a choice of seafood, chicken, beef, and pasta dishes with a local twist—pepperpot, for example. Most people who come for lunch also take the Heritage Tour of the estate and learn about how the cacao growing on the plantation is turned into delicious chocolate. You can buy chocolate in the gift shop to take home.

    It’s not always easy to find a good thick steak outside of a major city—or perhaps Texas!—but Big Chef owners Marc and Rosie Joinville have being delivering mouthwatering steaks (and more) for more than a decade.

    Opposite the Mystique Royal St. Lucia hotel and Reduit Beach, this dining spot is part of Rodney Bay's "restaurant central." After cool drinks and warm appetizers at the bar, diners make their way to the dining room or garden for some serious seafood or a good steak, West Indian pepperpot stew, spicy Moroccan-style lamb shanks, or simple chicken and chips. The seared yellowfin tuna, potato-crusted red snapper, and seafood Creole are big hits, too. There's also a vegetarian menu. Fresh lobster is available in season (August–February).
