Frommer's Review

Bob and Melinda Blanchard are the masterminds behind this elegantly casual, intensely fashionable restaurant on a garden-swathed pavilion beside the sea, next to the Malliouhana's beach. The cuisine is the most creative on island, and Blanchards has attracted a sprinkling of celebs (say hi to Robert De Niro or Janet Jackson if you see them). Blanchards' 3,000-bottle wine cellar is one of the finest in the Caribbean.

Behind tall teal shutters (which can be opened to the sea breezes), you can savor sophisticated food with a Caribbean flair, enhanced with spices from Spain, Asia, California, and the American Southwest. Dishes change according to the inspiration of chef Melinda but are likely to include such delights as lobster cakes with mixed greens and a tomato-flavored tartar sauce. Here the famous Anguillian lobster is grilled with a honey glaze or a Cajun spicy sauce. Prepared with faultless technique is the tuna, seared on the outside and served rare inside along with Israeli couscous. For a real island dessert, opt for the cracked coconut with coconut ice cream accompanied by a rum-custard sauce in a chocolate-crusted shell.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
