Restaurants
Every table on the island.
St. Croix eats better than any island its size has a right to — a legacy of Danish trade, Puerto Rican and down-island families, and chefs who came for a season and stayed. Christiansted holds the densest cluster, fifteen minutes from the villa; the East End has two waterfront classics practically next door; and the West End rewards a sunset drive.
✦ Owners’ picks are the places we, the owners, send our own guests — 20 of them, from fine dining in Christiansted to a chicken shack and a beach bar.
Relaxed waterfront grill at Green Cay Marina — the villa's everyday option, a short drive away.
Duggan's Reef
✦ Owners’ pickThe East End's beachfront classic since 1983 — fresh local seafood, ten minutes from the villa. Reservations required.
AMA at Cane Bay
✦ Owners’ pickSustainably sourced Caribbean-American plates and frozen craft cocktails over the water — worth the drive.
Fresh, homemade breakfast and lunch a couple of blocks off the waterfront.
La Reine Chicken Shack
✦ Owners’ pickThe local institution: spit-roasted chicken, johnny cakes and Crucian sides, open-air and cash-friendly.
The Landing Beach Bar
✦ Owners’ pickToes-in-the-sand lunch, local Leatherback beer, and the north shore's easiest afternoon.
The historic Buccaneer resort's fine-dining restaurant, and the casual Beauregard's on the Beach covering lunch.
Galangal
✦ Owners’ pickUpscale French-Asian fusion, serious cocktails, and one of the island's best wine lists.
Steaks and seafood right on the harbor — the sunset-table stalwart of the Christiansted boardwalk.
Savant
✦ Owners’ pickThe downtown fine-dining staple since 1998 — Mexican, Thai and Caribbean flavors in one candlelit room. Book ahead.
Oceanfront terrace dining at Sand Castle on the Beach — live music on Saturdays.
Tacos, burgers and crushed-ice cocktails overlooking the pier, vegan options included.
The beloved waterfront coffee-and-lunch cafe beside the Frederiksted pier.
An island institution for oversized deli sandwiches — take-out or picnic tables outside.
