3 Best Restaurants in Frederiksted, St. Croix

A distinctive gypsy cart on the side of Mahogany Road (Route 76) overflows with fresh baked breads, tarts, sandwiches, and toasties with unusual fillings like black bean hummus or homegrown banana. The farm-to-table menu, which changes daily to reflect what's available, includes local fare, Indian curries, British-influenced dishes, and Southern comfort food. Next door, Mahogany Road Chocolate sells chocolate made from locally harvested cacao and shaped as rainforest frogs and "chaney" shards. In addition to this bakery cart, they have a food truck at Fort Frederik Beach on Thursdays and Fridays.

This family-run business has used the same Danish ice-cream recipe with local flavorings since 1900. Options include flavors like almond, ginger, peanut, coconut, and pumpkin, as well as seasonal varieties like gooseberry, guava, mango, soursop, and passion fruit. You can also get delicious breakfast platters, omelets, and deli sandwiches and wraps. 

Huge sandwiches at this tiny spot feature homemade bread and can be as basic as turkey and cheddar or as imaginative as the Beast, piled high with hot roast beef, raw onion, and melted Swiss cheese with horseradish and mayonnaise. Barbecue—including pulled pork, chicken, and brisket plates—is another highlight. There are also salads and a good selection of desserts, plus lots of outdoor seating in the shade.
