Hemingways Caribbean Cafe

Antigua


You can have a fine meal upstairs at this deeply unpretentious 1820s Creole cottage with gingerbread trim. Skip the international choices and go for local flavors such as spicy chicken curry, coconut-rum-flambéed lobster and the off-menu blueberry bread pudding with rum-butter sauce.

The veranda tables are great for people watching.
