Find out what Caribbean restaurants to try in Laborie. Laborie is a village on the south coast of Saint Lucia. It was originally called l'Islet a Caret after the Loggerhead sea turtles that were found in the area. The name Laborie is named after Baron de Laborie who was the French governor of Saint Lucia from 1784–1789. At that time the village had a population of 712.

Dasheene at Ladera

Reviewed By 850sharonr

We visited Dasheene twice for dinner and once for lunch, on every visit we were greeted with a warm welcome and enjoyed magnificent, unparalleled views of both Gros and Petite Piton mountains. Sitting on a terrace overlooking these views is quite spectacular. The food for both lunch and dinner were delicious, at dinner the extra touches of an amuse bouche, sorbet pallet cleanser and home made bread with oils/butters make this restaurant stand out from others nearby. The cocktails are superb too, delcious fresh ingredients and the chocolatini is to die for!Friday nights entertainer, Arthur Allain, was brilliant and we enjoyed dancing on the terrace to his beautiful voice singing Ed Sheeran. (This was my favourite memory of our holiday in St Lucia.)We had the pleasure of meeting Christian, the owner of the property, he was keen to know if we had enjoyed our evening and offered to help us in any way to make our stay extra special. The relaxed, happy staff are a credit to Christian who encourages them to show their own personalities during dinner service, some singing along with Arthur, taking photos for customers and simply helping to create a great ambience. You really must make time to visit this restaurant during your stay at St Lucia, it's very special.

Martha's Tables

Reviewed By wethenorth12

The food was excellent and Martha and her staff were wonderful. Martha does all the cooking and came to the table to ask us what we would like or not like. There was a lot of excellent food that Martha prepared for us. She was so friendly - I felt like we were being adopted. This is a highly recommended gem of a restaurant in Soufriere - don't miss it - only open for lunch.

Stopped for a dinner and this time no music. Only Thursday and Saturday. They did have back ground music but not the same as live music. Food again was great. Service was wonderful. Chocolate was great. Friendly place. Waiters and Waitresses do not push you to order. They keep an eye on you for when you are ready. Many have been working there for a long time as a result service is good. Being older we where able to park close to the restaurant and did not have to walk up the stairs from the car park, thank you!!A lovely review and very appreciated, we are certainly a friendly bunch but you a quite right, we don't want to be popping up every 30 seconds interrupting the time with your dining partner, we aim for intuitive and respectful service.

Wandering around the town looking for a traditional lunch and we stumbled across this wonderful restaurant.

Pleasant place on the beach with lots of dogs & cats. But the order of calamari that we had with two beers was such a ripoff, it spoiled our experience. The calamari was tasty but when the dish arrived, we thought it was a joke. Nine little rings which cost us $16.00 USD. We've travelled extensively & eaten in many places. We've never seen such a stingy little helping of anything, let alone a $16.00 appetizer. Usually you get a big mound of calamari.Hello Laini, thanks for taking the time to review us. The calamari is a very popular item on our menu and, like all our dishes, it is home-made and prepared from scratch - not shaken out of a bag and into the deep-fryer. The same goes for our fish fingers (local marlin), chicken fingers, pizza, burgers, and so on. Just as importantly, please double-check your credit card statement and you will see that the calamari is EC$16, which is just under US$6. We pride ourselves at The Reef at aiming to keep our prices as low as possible so as to be a beach cafe that can be welcoming to all: locals and visitors alike.

Mama Rose Restaurant and Bar

Reviewed By deanottawacanada

We spent our last three nights in Laborie following a ten day stay in Rodney Bay. What a pleasure it was to meet Aidan at Mama Rose, to hear his stories about his family owned Restaurant and to enjoy the fresh fish, black eyed peas and fried plantain. The environment is casual and within walking distance of the Beach. We highly recommend a visit to Laborie and Mama Rose for a cold Piton and some great local food.

Mama Tilly's Barbeque and Grill

Reviewed By EnglishCanadian

Just off the Main Street in Laborie this little restaurant is a gem not to be missed. It only seats 12-14 but Mama Tilley keeps clients moving through. She is a hard worker who keeps the kitchen moving but always has time for a chat. We had lobster and bbq chicken which my wife and I shared. Because we shared we were given one and a half lobsters. Prices are very good and the quality great. Mama Tilley is the chef and waitress and she is keen to know that your meal is perfect. Great evening, marvellous food.

Yes, the food is out of this world, but here is something that will make reading my review worth it. Ask for the Naan Bread Demo. You will see the oven, how it's used, and watch as they make Naan bread right there. And you will EAT that one too!
