Anguilla restaurants & dining, the best in the Caribbean

Anguilla restaurants are world-renowned for amazing fresh food and culinary expertise. There are over 100 Anguilla restaurants ranging from beachside shacks and roadside trucks to elegant award-winning, 5-star restaurants.  Anguilla seafood redefines “freshly caught,” practically jumping out of the water onto your plate, and the vegetables are locally grown with no pesticides, additives or preservatives.

And while Anguilla’s food is always a 10, even the island’s top restaurants don’t expect you to dress to the nines. At most sit-down Anguilla restaurants, shoes and shirts/coverups are usually requested and bathing suits frowned upon, but a jacket and tie are not necessary unless you’re in the mood to dress up.

It’s hard to choose Anguilla’s top restaurant. Beaches Edge general manager, Neil, is personal friends with many of the chef/owners around the islands.  Many of these Anguilla culinary artists, can be booked to cook for you at your Beaches Edge villa.  Neil or our concierge are happy to offer recommendations and make introductions.  Be sure to mention Beaches Edge and Neil when you go out to eat at Anguilla restaurants!
