Where to eat Caribbean food in St. John's: The Best Restaurants and Bars

July 11, 2020 Augustus Redeker

Reviews on Caribbean food in St. John's, Antigua, Caribbean. 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.

Big Banana Pizza

'Pizzas', as it is affectionately known by locals has established itself over the last 30 years as a legendary Antiguan casual dining rendezvous and hot spot. It is rightly recognized for serving some of the best pizzas in the Caribbean and is renowned fo

Thrilled us girls popped in for iced coffees & cherry topped baked cheesecake just as the hunger pangs hit whilst shopping in St John’s!! Love the new modern interior set from the high street entrance. We chose to sit in the decked raised garden area but the whole place seemed really nice, lots of locals, families & tourists.....perfect. The iced coffee served perfectly with a side of sugar syrup & condensed milk

Cutie's Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By windriderjgm

I am one for the finer things upon occasion. After 11 days at sea in a not so fine vessel I needed some great food, in a quaint atmosphere with impeccable service. Cutie’s hit all three. It was recommended to me by my hotel. I was fortunate enough to meet both Mom and daughter that started it along with the other sister. It might well be one of the nicest outdoor venues on the island. I would however recommend that prior to your dinner stop at Cuties, stop by CiCi’s just across the lawn and pick out a nice bottle of wine to take for dinner as the selection at Cutie’s is very limited. If your not picky about wines, what they have is fine, albeit served a lil too warm, but it comes to a more appealing temp as it breathes. Definitely ask for bread, but not before the meal, as it is soo good you will eat too much of it pre-dinner. If you go, tell them the tall man from Trip Advisor sent you! Bon Apetite!

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!!!

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.

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
