Food: Best Caribbean Restaurants

Writer : Caribbean E-Magazine on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 | 1:26 PM

The Caribbean is known pretty much for its gorgeous turquoise beaches, but there are much more to the beautiful Islands, and this includes great food.




CEM takes a look at some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean

Coyaba Restaurant, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos


Coyaba is an elegantly appointed gazebo style restaurant in a lush tropical garden offering fine eclectic contemporary Caribbean Cuisine. Chef Paul Newman uses his culinary expertise for the daily-changing main courses, which include exquisitely presented dishes such as crispy, whole, yellow snapper fried in Thai spices.

One standout is lobster Thermidor in a Dijon-mushroom cream sauce. You may want to try several different appetizers instead of an entrée for dinner; guava-and-tamarind barbecue ribs and coconut-shrimp tempura are two good choices if you go that route. If you enjoy creative menus, this is the place for you. Coyoba keeps the resident expat crowd happy with traditional favorites such as lemon meringue pie, albeit with his own tropical twist. Don't skip dessert; Paul makes incredible chocolate fondant.

The Cliff, Barbados


One of the West coast's finest restaurants, The Cliff opened in January 1995 to rave reviews and hasn't looked back since. Chef Paul Owen's innovative and creative cuisine has been matched with an imaginative setting awash in candlelight and art, where every table has a view of the Caribbean Sea. The restaurant is located on a clifftop, overlooking the calm waters of the Caribbean.

The Cliff Restaurant is also available for private functions such as weddings, retirement parties and corporate functions.
