Dasheene Restaurant & Bar

Frommer's Review

This is one of the most widely heralded restaurants on St. Lucia and it has the most dramatic setting. Inspired by the best of the Caribbean/Creole kitchen and the innovations of California, this mountaintop hideaway offers some of the island's most refined and creative cuisine. Be warned that after dark, a dress code for men (who should at least wear long pants with a collared shirt) is strictly enforced. From any of a series of timbered terraces that seem cantilevered up the sloping hill that's the site of this place, you can start with such tantalizing appetizers as St. Lucia fish pot consommé, or the green papaya-and-pumpkin fritters with a lettuce rémoulade dressing. We prefer the fisherman's catch of the day, often red snapper or kingfish. It's served with your choice of a mild jerk butter or else lemon-caviar butter. A local way of preparing steak, called Mojo steak, is marinated in a lime-and-pepper seasoning before it's pan-seared. The chocolate rum mousse for dessert makes for a festive evening.
