Blue Bead Restaurant & Bar

Across from the waterfront, in relatively simple surroundings, this little eatery serves some of the best homemade food on the island. Set at 18th-century ruins at Gallows Bay, it's decorated in bright Caribbean colors. Try to get a table on the veranda, with its potted palms. Dig into such local delights as mussels with french fries. Salt-cod fritters -- and tasty ones, at that -- are a specialty. If you drop in for lunch, you can choose from a selection of well-made sandwiches, among other offerings, and the pizza oven is kept piping hot at night. Locals end their meal with a taste of the house special, homemade vanilla rum. On Friday nights, fresh seafood is a feature. Island families frequent the place on Saturday night.
