This is just one of those things you have to experience! They pull there trailer in and start cooking. It’s just so the Caribbean.

Ana's On the Beach

Reviewed By 439JohnS439

If you want a beachside dinner in Dickenson bay, this is really the only option. The glitzy Sandals resort next door has a "residents only" policy at its multiple restaurants. Ana's is within the Antigua Village Resort but open to the public.The first time I tried to dine there it was arbitrarily closed because of a private function. I went again the next night. Although it was not full the food took a very long time to come, so much so that the manager came out and apologised (but did not offer any refund). When the food eventually came, "catch of the day" it was nice enough, nothing special, and the portion size was really small, for the price charged. As others have noted, this is a slightly pretentious place which trades on its beach monopoly. I'd not visit it twice.

Cafe Napoleon

Beautifully nestled in the heart of Historic Redcliffe Quay in St. John's, Cafe Napoleon was formerly an old sugar warehouse by a busy dockside. Sympathetically renovated, the restaurant serves a cosmopolitan menu using the finest fresh, local fish, meat,

Beach Bum Bar and Grill

Beach Bum Bar and Grill is the ultimate Caribbean Beach Shack offering great food, drinks and service. Located on one of the Islands top beaches 'Half Moon Bay' this open air Beach Shack has a steady cooling breeze.

Reviewed By bobnmillsy

A relaxed, unassuming, cute little place on the stunning Half Moon beach. The food punched way above its weight for a beach cafe with delicious lobster, prawns, salads and burgers. And the prices were very reasonable with the bill coming in at less than half of what we paid at The Inn on Galleon Beach

Reviewed By DayTrip421841

The food there is top notch home cooking at its best. All of the bbq and jerk specials are delicious plus you can get a great burger or hot dog for those afraid to try what the “locals” eat. The drinks are awesome also. Everyone who works there is pleasant and friendly. This is what a family run and owned business should be. The beach and sightseeing are bonuses!!!

Hemingways Caribbean Cafe & Restaurant

Reviewed By Kevin F

A great refuge from shopping and cruise ship tourist hell is just up a short staircase on St Mary's Street. Great vibes, music, and most importantly food. I highly recommend the seafood pasta and a glass of wine. The pasta plate is large enough for two! Great people watching on the bustling street below from the balcony. Very Good.....

Beach Bar and Restaurant located on one of Antigua's best beaches, a little hideaway from all the hustle and bustle of town, a relaxing and inviting location with a breath taking veiw! A True Jem to Discover!

Reviewed By andyrudy

One of the best excursions EVER! I contacted the owner Gail via Facebook and made a reservation via a PayPal deposit (easy). I mentioned we were there on our 40th Anniversary. We arrived to a very personal welcome by the owner and staff -Marvin, Sheldon and Mel. They had balloons on our reserved table, with hearts and flowers. They handed us a delicious rum punch and led us to our chaises by the beautiful beach. I think there were 16 of us from the Royal Caribbean ship and we had this gorgeous place to ourself. The lunch was good and plentiful, most importantly we felt like we were visiting with new friends. The taxi Gail arranged to pick us up and drop us off (Hilarie picked us up, LaShawn dropped us off) was about 20$ and great. If you are reading this BOOK BEACHLIMERZ in ANTIGUA, you won't regret it!

The setting alone close to the waves makes this place worth a visit. The food is exceptional with regular favourites, daily specials, fresh fish and lobster - all very refined and high quality. The staff are delightful and the wine list extensive.

Jacqui O's BeachHouse

On the beach, Caribbean side. Beautiful Food, People, Cocktais and Sunset. St Tropez/Ibiza Style. Amazing service in a fabulous beach garden. Reservations advised.

Reviewed By SimonAsh2017

You simply cannot better this place for its location. Turners beach is simply stunning. The clearest turquoise water right in front of the restaurant. We had a beautiful lunch, the snapper plain grilled with rice and ratatouille was delicious as was everything else we ordered. Lance is the genial host with lots of local knowledge. The only thing that grated a little was after spending not an insignificant amount on lunch was that you have to pay additional $10US per cabana on the beach. Come on Lance, fair enough if your guests are only having a drink, but surely you can waive the charge for diners. This is the thing that leaves a bitter taste after an otherwise wonderful day. It is not about the money, but the principle. Hi Simon, was nice to see you again and glad you enjoyed your afternoon. FYI the chair rental for 2 people is normally $38US for the day. For our dining guests it's $9. We do make concessions for our diners.-Lance
