St Lucia
This unfussy little eatery could hardly be better situated: the dining deck is right on the waterfront with picnic tables looking out onto the bay. The food consists of simply prepared seafood and meat dishes served in generous portions; can be a bit hit and miss.
The attached Chateau Hurricane Hole bar gets lively and is a good place for cocktails. Also does breakfast (EC$15 to EC$35).
