Dining on St. Croix

St Croix has some wonderful restaurants we have a few personal favorites.  Savant is top of our list with Kendricks a close second.  if you are looking for casual be sure to visit Cheeseburgers in Paradise.  

East End

Duggan’s Reef  Located in Teague's Bay.  Very popular upscale spot for dinner with casual atmosphere.  Located directly on the beach, Duggan's tends to have mosquitoes right at dusk, clearing later.  If you are looking for lobster this is the place.  (lunch in season and dinner and Sunday brunch year-round).  click on link to view menu.  Reservations 340-773-9800                                                                                                                            
Galleon Restaurant At Green Cay Marina. Good reports on food and entertainment. Tends to be expensive.

Buccaneer  The Terrace restaurant at the hotel is a beautiful place to dine outdoors and see the lights of Christiansted. The Little Mermaid sometimes opens for dinner this season with a more casual menu.

Cheeseburgers In Paradise  Casual, family style and reasonable with entertainment. Popular with local construction people and tourists alike. There is a large play area where the kids mingle and make new friends.

Christiansted

Top picks would be Rumrunners, Kendrick’s, Bacchus, Giovanni’s, Tutto Bene, Café Bleu, Tivoli Garden. The choices are many depending on the group, the desired ambience and your pocketbook. All have menus and prices posted. Stay to the main tourist areas bordered by Company Street and the Boardwalk, and by the Waterfront Park (fort) and King Cross Street.

West Indian Barbeque  Tuesday at Hotel on the Cay. Buffet dinner on beach with entertainment, steel bands, mocko jumbies, fire eaters, broken bottle dancers, etc. (A little bit hokey with mass produced buffet food of mostly starchy local dishes.) Kids enjoy the entertainment.

Kendricks  located in downtown Christiansted is another local favorite. The chef is the owner and takes great pride in what is served.  Style is a French, Contemporary and specials are fantastic. Fish is fresh so be sure to ask about the catch of the day.  Be sure to make a reservation 340-773-9199

Frederiksted

A long drive from Judith’s Fancy or East End at night. Some favorites are Sandcastles, Coyote Café and St. Tropez. Would not recommend wandering these streets at night, but I’m a chicken. One Friday per month, they have a sunset jazz concert on the waterfront. If you wish to go to F’sted in the evening, this is a good time as there’s more activity and restaurants are busy. No coolers allowed at the concert but food and drink can be purchased from local vendors.

North Shore

There are a number of popular restaurants along Cane Bay as well as the restaurant at Carambola. The latter is a bit of a drive at night along sparsely developed winding roads.

Attire: Decent shorts, polo shirts, t-shirts and flip-flops will do just about anytime anywhere. In better restaurants at night, ladies might wish to opt for a cool summer shift and guys perhaps for lightweight long pants (only maybe) and boat shoes. Some restaurants, such as the Terrace at the Buccaneer, require men to have collars (Polo shirt OK). If in doubt, simply inquire when making a reservation what is customary. Jackets and ties or socks are not necessary anywhere.
