Basseterre Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Basseterre
Nestled between the Caribbean and lush mountains, Basseterre has a long history of colonial struggle that is reflected in its architecture and cultural monuments. The National Museum, St. George's Anglican Church, the Circus area and Independence Square all give glimpses to the city's past. But most travelers do not come to Basseterre for history; they come for the beaches, resorts and marinas, offering ample snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, sunbathing and golfing opportunities.

Usually, those three words don't go together. However, this place is the exception. A truly wonderful dining experience.
The location is if I have a 20 minute ride from the airport but you enter a whole different world. This is a classic plantation on a hill. Get there early, while there is still light, so you can walk the grounds, admire the Gardens and observe the monkeys. It's lovely.
By the way, be careful driving up the hill. It's tight and steep and that's saying something on this Island.
The dining room is beautiful, open to the world with a beautiful view of the main house. Ceiling fans add to the ambience of the stone walls. It is a romantic place with sinatra, Ellington, Vaughn and other classic 40's singers crooning in the background, audiblebut not overpowering. and quite a find in St. Kitts.The service is wonderfully attentive.
From what I understand, the menu changes constantly. Hence, it does not make sense to describe our dishes. Our food was well-prepared, unique and beautifully presented. There is a 4 course dinner for $65 U.S., and worth every penny. A gratuity of 10 percent is added to the bill.
Cant't wait to come back.
4. Cathy's Ocean View Bar and Grill

We have probably dined at Cathy's 100 times over the years and have never been disappointed. This trip we had the generations (mine people) and everyone loved it even our grandchildren. This is a small family owned and run establishment where Cathy is in the kitchen cooking and her sister is waiting tables. If you are in a hurry you may want to try Subway or KFC as service can be slow during peak times but the food NEVER disapopoints.

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal at the Marriott's steak house this year! Food was excellent! Gray, the manager, was very attentive and brought over samples of the different rib sauces for us to try before ordering. Reasonably priced wine options were available. We will definitely go back next year!

Honestly one of the worst restaurants we ate at... terribly service overall, I had to keep asking for everything from a drink to menus etc... pizza oven was broken or not on I believe so we had pasta. I ordered lobster ravioli which was not good and green in color with very little meat inside. My wife asked for 3 separate pastas but they didn’t have the ingredients so she had garlic bread which was really horrible.
The owner came in towards the end.. he was a nice older Italian man and he seemed to really not care much and complaining about electricity costs etc... time to close this establishment I think !

Went with a group of friends to eat here. I had lobster which had a beautiful presentation and was absolutely delicious. We had an antipasto appetizer that was great. The eggplant humus was a first and I loved it. The service was good. The view was also good. I did not pay for the meal but suspect the prices were a bit expensive. Everyone in the group seemed to enjoy their meal. One person had lamb and said it was the best he had ever eaten. All of us would definitely go back.
8. Sprat Net
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 337 reviews
Sprat net is wonderful restaurant located approximately 20 minutes north of Basseterre in Old Road Village. It is right on the water and is open for dinner. The owners are fishermen who go out in the morning and then serve their daily catch in the evening. They serve bbq lobster, ribs, chicken, steamed catch of the day fish, and wonderful pizzas. It is casual with ample Seating and a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. Prices range from $10US to $30US for dinner. They also have a full bar.
Reviewed By jack and robin m - Sevierville, Tennessee
awesome food. lobster, red snapper, and grilled shrimp. sides good, too. we thought $40-45 US was very reasonable for a meal with two of the three above. the staff was very friendly, including the proprietor jack tending bar. (jack sprat?) equally awesome spot right on the water. we arrived about 5:30 (half hour before posted opening) and enjoyed our caribs and the sunset as people strolled in. nick and the other staff explained the ordering process simply and we were served within 30 minutes of placing our order. even though it was a saturday night it wasn't crowded at all when we were there. i believe the majority of kittitians and visitors dine later than us!

A bit off the beaten path, but only 1/4 miles from the cruise ship port. Good local cuisine and authentic Caribbean food. Very casual, screened-porch setting. This establishment is a local Hotspot for lunch and is totally worth checking out.

Just a short walk away from the Marriott, nice if you are tired of Caribbean food and want to taste something different.
Great selection of Indian food at reasonable prices for St Kitts standards. Butter chicken was especially good.
Service came with a smile which was a great plus. Definitely recommended.
