One of the biggest advantages of vacationing in the British Virgin Islands is the chance to savor the delicious regional cuisine, which features some of the freshest fish and seafood you’ll ever taste, as well as vibrant spice combinations. Check out our guide to the best BVI restaurants so that every meal on your trip is a hit:
Cooper Island Beach Club, Cooper Island
As an eco-resort that prioritizes minimizing its environmental impact, Cooper Island Beach Club is self-sufficient in both power and water. Their open-air restaurant delivers a relaxed, luxe dining experience, including decadent seafood and one of the largest rum collections in the Virgin Islands.
Pirates Bight, Norman Island
Norman Island is believed to be the inspiration for the novel Treasure Island, and Pirates Bight is one of only two restaurants on the uninhabited island. Pirates Bight is another laid-back eatery right on the beach that typically serves popular island dishes like jerk chicken, ribs, grilled fish, and frozen drinks. In the evening, it becomes a popular spot for music and dancing.
Potter’s by the Sea, Anegada
Potter’s By the Sea on the small, coral island of Anegada is unique among BVI restaurants because diners can watch as their lobster is pulled fresh from the sea and then grilled. Anegada is famous for its native lobster, and Potter’s by the Sea specializes in serving cooking them to perfection.
