In St. John's, the capital city of Antigua, farmers markets, candy- colored architecture and the ruins of sugar plantations vie for attention with a kaleidoscope of coral reefs and sailing adventures. Salute the white baroque towers of St. John's Cathedral that dominate the skyline before joining the flocks of cruise passengers on a Heritage Quay shopping excursion. To experience the island's early cultures, visit the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, housed in a 1750s colonial courthouse.

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, vegetables & fruits. The homemade desserts are just mouthwatering! Dont want to eat, then just chill with a Cocktail in the new Lounge Bar looking out at the beuatiful Gardens and watersedge. You can be certain of the warmest of welcomes and excellent customer service from owner, Lisa and her team.
Stopped for drinks here 3 times, very friendly and reasonably priced. Clean toilets. Never had any food but what we saw was good

Came into Antigua on a cruise ship and wandered the streets of St. John’s where upon I came upon this wonderful taste of the Caribbean. Being a Trinidadian and finding a roti shop was quite a find especially in Antigua. As I entered the business I was taken back by the menu; doubles, aloo pie and Rotis. I was in heaven. I ordered doubles and aloo pie along with a shrimp roti. Doubles were cooked perfectly; light bara and filled with curried chickpeas; hot sauce was a nice finishing touch. The aloo pie was nicely seasoned and very filling. The roti which was the high light of the meal was full of potato (aloo) and curried shrimp. The roti was so good that we ordered a chicken roti as well; consisting of boneless chicken and chickpeas with potatoes in a wonderful curry sauce. $10 for the shrimp roti; $5 for the chicken roti and $2 each for the doubles and aloo pie. Close to the cruise ship port; walking distance 10min.

Coconut Grove is next to Antigua Village and is a very popular place for lunch, evening cocktails and dinner. The menu is varied and the food quality very good. The only problem we encountered was that, when it was busy the service was slow. We ate there one evening and it proved impossible to get a drink. To be fair the waitress told us that she could only serve us wine and we had a generous glass 'on the house'. The lobster is excellent - my wife had it twice! Its worth booking ahead on Friday and Saturday, especially if you want a beachside table where you sit with your feet in the cool sand!!

It was so good we had dinner at Papa Zouk twice during our hols in Antigua. I love everything about this place - food, casual atmosphere and friendly staff. I had grilled red snapper and hubby had his fried. Both really tasty. And during our second visit after the meal we had 2 rum shots on the house. I think it was called rum fire and was a blend of several different rums. Just brilliant!

Had been recommended this place by friends who had stayed on the island.We were on a cruise so after doing a tour we made a B-line for Hemingways which was easy to find as its in the heart of St Johns just outside the cruise terminal.We had originally planned just to have a drink but got hungry on Reading the menu. I had a Hemingways special to drink which was delicious - very apt as it was green to match the decor. We shared a BLT with fries which was very tasty and just watched the world go by for an hour.The balcony is a good spot, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

This restaurant is located in the Blue Waters Hotel and is situated right on the sea front. If you are lucky you can get a table overlooking the sea below and watch tarpon hunting smaller fish in the surf. The food is excellent as is the service. We ate here 3 times during our stay and thoroughly enjoyed every meal. Definitely worth a visit.

C&C Wine Bar started out serving primarily South African wines and a limited offering of other beverages. Then Knife and Fork, an eatery, was established to pair our delightful wines with appetizing meals. Today we have a beautiful alfresco restaurant situated in the courtyard of historic Redcliffe Quay. Eating with us is like being a part of history. We are the place where wine lovers can pair amazing wines with tasty coconut shrimp, pastas, burgers, paninis and tempting specials such as Scampi Diabolique. Tables and chairs are tastefully accented in and around the wine bar onto a romantic courtyard. The restaurant is filled to capacity during Thursdays for our Lasagna Night and Saturdays for Karaoke Night. Dine with us or take your sumptuous meal to go, with or without your favourite wine; the choice is yours. We guarantee that you will enjoy and we would be happy to welcome you back again for another visit. Live, Love, Laugh, and Drink Wine Claudine & Company
We stumbled upon C&C the first trip to Antigua and there was a buzz like it was the place to be. This time the restaurant was not quite as packed but the food was equally as delicious. Not that expensive, great quality ingredients, and frequented by locals rather than tourists. If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely worth a trip
