The best British restaurants Channel Islands

If you do not know where to eat in Saint-Hélier, do not hesitate for a moment, go to this fish' chips, one of the best in town. The cuisine is very hearty and is perfectly suitable for big eaters. We love.

The Chambers is one of the city's largest pubs, styled in much lighter tones than traditional pubs. With its contemporary decor and mezzanine, it's a really friendly place to enjoy burgers, pizzas, grills and salads. And it's always at the Chambers that the population is the most heterogeneous and changes throughout the day. Bands play regularly, and the island's young people come to dance the night away, often to the sound of a DJ or live band.

Located in the heart of Saint-Hélier, opposite the port in the Liberty Wharf complex, Quayside Bistro is a place for epicureans. We come here to eat well, but mostly for the view. If you're looking for a friendly setting, this is the place. The cuisine is of the highest quality and the presentation is meticulous. You can also enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail on the upstairs terrace. An address not to be missed, very lively especially on Sunday lunchtimes.

Here is an old mill transformed into a pub which proposes British cooking always copious with its meats in sauce and its soups and also - proximity of the sea obliges - of many seafood. The building is charming and warm (but we prefer the large terrace nevertheless). In winter, it's a fireplace, teas and good beers. And in summer, the beautiful terrace adjoins a magnificent little park for children to enjoy the good weather. An address to come to in large numbers, with family or friends.

Here is a small typical English pub, transformed into a very nice and pleasant restaurant, which benefits from a very beautiful view on the coast. It proposes a rather traditional kitchen. You can taste very good pizzas, sandwiches, but also a fish pie with lobster bisque sauce and pea and parmesan purée, an omelette garnie, linguine with Jersey crabs and shrimps sautéed in white wine... After a hearty meal, the beach and the thousands of rocks are waiting for you for a digestive stroll nearby

This café looks like an overturned boat... Impossible to miss it! This lath-covered building is isolated along the harbor. It serves excellent breakfasts (note that the café boasts the biggest scones on the island...), honest dishes during the day and a very nice menu of Thai specialties in the evening. But we will come there especially at the end of the day, at sunset time, to drink a glass of wine facing the Elizabeth Castle and the bay of Saint-Aubin. A magical moment in perspective.

Located in a quiet little street in Saint-Peter-Port, this really nice place offers hot chocolates as thick as you want, 100% natural smoothies to die for, good and not too expensive dishes (fish'n chips, seafood linguine, burger with local beef and bacon, croque-madame...) to nibble on the go at any time of the day, and in the evening welcomes young and old alike in a lounge atmosphere with a tempting cocktail list. The welcome is always pleasant.

Located in Saint-Hélier's main square, this fish & chips offers hearty dishes in a very lively, modern decor, on the small terrace in the shopping mall or to take away to enjoy on a sunny day. Prices are fairly reasonable, and the dishes are quite good, prepared to order and always cooked to perfection. A good address for fish and chips, of course... but not the only one, as you can also choose from a number of excellent burgers. There's also another restaurant in the village of Saint-Aubin.

The Beach Restaurant at the Coco Bay Hotel is a very good, award-winning restaurant with a magnificent view of the sea. On the menu, traditional dishes are always well done: roasted salmon on pea puree and vermouth sauce, large steak and onion confit. Especially during the summer months, shellfish and seafood from the bay are passed directly from the fishermen to the menu of Lars Kloetzer, the restaurant's German-born chef. The restaurant also offers an excellent tea room. The service is always friendly.

In this friendly pub, people flock at mealtimes to enjoy the chef's gargantuan and tasty cuisine (we may be able to reheat something for you outside these times, but it's not certain). Fish, crabs and other seafood products feature prominently on the menu, but not only. You'll also find pasta, meat (the beef is delicious, by the way) and chicken. Everything is produced on site: another good reason (if you needed more) to choose this address.

If you don't know where to go when it's time to put your feet under the table, especially during the low season, here is a golden address. Here, you will find inexpensive and copious dishes, always refined, all to be tasted in a rather classy atmosphere, without being stuffy. On the menu, the ineffable local dishes, accompanied or not according to the season by the soup of the day. In the evening, the 3-course menu is an excellent option.

We love this authentic and pleasant address where you can eat hearty dishes after a day of walking. Among the main dishes, the meats are really good, the hamburgers very good and there are many sweet and sour side dishes. Even if it has recently changed its name, L'Auberge du Nord is one of the oldest establishments on the island which also has an adjoining pub. The reception is always attentive.

In the heart of this charming, long village, here's a pub with a very friendly atmosphere, housed in a typical Jersey inn, and serving good local specialties. The dishes are obviously hearty (chicken cordon-bleu, burgers, pies), sometimes a little more elaborate (seafood with curry and coconut milk), and above all change with the seasons. In winter, the wood fire is a welcome addition. A great little "country" address, just the way we like it.

This pub is located on the bay of Ouaisné, adjacent to the bay of Saint-Brelade and is therefore accessible by a short walk outside the village. It is housed in a 17th century building and offers a very cosy atmosphere. In winter, by the fire, you can enjoy a typical English pub cuisine: grilled fish, meat, fried brie, curry, pudding, hot apple pies... The reputation of its beers is well established, judging by the number of stickers that flood its facade and by the large number of regular customers.

An address much appreciated by islanders for the freshness of its produce and its location near the Gouffre, not far from the cliff. Victor Hugo is said to have dined here in 1870. You'll be greeted with a warm welcome and seated at a good wooden table, brightened up in season by a bouquet of flowers. The decor is both rustic and modern. Before or after your meal, you can play pétanque in the garden. Also ideal for dinner or cream tea.

The Kiln is one of those pleasant brasseries serving hearty, well-prepared dishes at lunchtime all year round. The traditional fish and chips, of course, but also burgers, hot sandwiches, good meat or fish pies... And why not finish with a local ice cream! The little extra for families: a pleasant children's play area for a sunny lunch or a quick break.

Before the arrival of the banks and their services, all stores in Saint-Peter-Port must have looked like this: a takeaway area (a good option for enjoying a treat while strolling along the harbour on a sunny day), a seated area, with wood, teak and, of course, a rather cheap British atmosphere. Yet this is - by far - the best & chips in town. No more, no less. And if you've had enough of the eternal fish & French fries, other no less light options are available: burgers, nuggets, etc.

The welcome is warm and the atmosphere very friendly and relaxed for this "gastronomic pub" which takes place in the magnificent setting of the hotel Les Douvres. An address that is really worth the trip and where you will find local products, international cuisine, but above all copious plates and excellent flambé specialties. The establishment is also famous for its deliciously rustic pizza menu, with excellent homemade dough and seasonal products. Concerts at the hotel bar on Friday nights (7:30 pm).

Don't be afraid of the "wicked wolf"! The Wicked Wolf is a great pub, warm, family and friendly, where you can eat well and where the plates are copious. And not too expensive! On your plate, you will find a classic and well prepared pub cuisine. On the menu, hot pies (meat or fish), grilled or stewed meats always well accompanied with local products. And, as soon as the sun comes out, you can enjoy the sun on the terrace of the establishment.

A few meters from the beach, this pub, which changed name and owner in 2021, offers seafood specialties (mussels and French fries, shrimp) and more classic pub fare (shrimp tempura, breaded cutlets, etc.). Some meat proposals are proposed to carnivores and vegetarian options are also on the menu. To sum up, here there is really something for everyone. As its name indicates, it is located in La Pulente and offers very nice views on the bay of Saint-Ouen. An address to test!
