DASHEENE, Ladera
Dasheene's panoramic mountain views are so breathtaking that, for once, the
cuisine tends to be secondary.
Yet St. Lucian Head Chef, Nigel Mitchel, works with visiting European chefs to create contemporary delicacies
that do their best to live up to their magical setting. The very freshest seafood like grilled barracuda and
pan-fried shrimp are on offer, as are hand-picked local vegetables and herbs. Come early for a drink at the
Tcholit Bar and revel in the close-up views of The Pitons.
Dinner reservations essential.

FROGGIE JACQUES, Vigie Marina, Castries
Froggie Jacques offers a fusion of French and Caribbean cuisine in a cosy waterside setting just outside
Castries. And whilst the Gallic influences are predominant, fresh herbs and local seafood (ask about the
fresh lobster in season) contribute an appropriate sense of place. Congenial owner and chef, Jacky Rioux,
opened the restaurant in 1999 after serving his time in eateries round Europe, Africa, the Middle East and
West Indies. A good idea for both lunch and dinner, reservations for a waterside table are a must.

Also amongst the longest established restaurants in St. Lucia, The Charthouse enjoys a prime setting right
on the waterside in yacht-dotted Rodney Bay. It's where to go for simple, wholesome fare like charcoal-broiled
prime steaks, baby back spare ribs and some of the freshest lobster on the island. The ambience is friendly
and welcoming (many of the staff have been there since the restaurant opened 16 years ago); the Cuban cigars
and constant tradewinds contributing to the pleasurable experience.
