One of the best things about a holiday, in my opinion anyway, is trying new foods and restaurants. I have to admit that good food is one of my vices, thank God that it
doesn't show. If good food is one of your vices, well then I have bad (?) news for you! Nevis has world class Epicurean delights too. I have had everything from a chili dog at a
snackette, Yorkshire pudding at Prinderella's, caramelized onion and Brie tart at Tamarind, and of course oceans of GREAT seafood. While the selection of restaurants on Nevis are few compared to the "big"
Caribbean islands, there are enough choices to suit any taste or budget. I knew when I began to write this site on Nevis that the restaurant page would be the most difficult, not only
because of the amount of information, but also for the fact that one person's pâté is another person's chopped liver. What I have decided to do is just give the basic information on atmosphere, service, food, and
"estimtaed" cost of dining per person. Oh, and for those of you who plan on staying in a villa, house, or a flat, there are several good places to shop for groceries. If you are near
Newcastle make sure to stop in at Julian Nisbett's, (Sunshine Shoppers) he is located across from the airport. He has a nice selection of fresh produce, canned goods, frozen meats, and even a decent selection of
wine and beer. Good service and prices too. Although his business hours are hard to figure out, he is generally open if the sun is up. If you really get a craving for European or American brand
foods then Superfoods, in Charlestown, is a must. I personally go there every time I am in Nevis just to have a browse round. Lots of UK brands there that I can't get in the States. Ramm's which
is just a few years old is great too. I hope you enjoy the restaurant tour. Just "click" on the links below. |

*****Just a quick note about the restaurant guide, these prices are just approximations. Certainly many of these fine
restaurants have less expensive as well as more expensive fare to choose from. Also take into consideration the difference in ordering prix fixe or à la carte, as well as the quality and
quantity of drinks you have with your meal. These prices are guesstimated for dinner, per person, and I firmly believe that no matter what your budget, that you can find a wonderful meal at any of these
restaurants no matter what price category you choose. Remember that you can often find a great bargain in a lesser known restaurant, and often times prices are cheaper in the "off season"! OK, enough
already, I am not a food critic! Bon Appétit, Mike
