The best seafood restaurants Channel Islands

Here is a discreet but very sought-after address which proposes a cuisine with a Mediterranean accent despite a decor of light wood almost Scandinavian in its sobriety. The warm starters are successful. The main courses are well suited to fresh fish. The meats are not left out and their accompaniments are sometimes unexpected (pork belly with apple and candied shallots). One will also note the pretty sight on the port of Gorey of the tables on the balcony (it is better to reserve). Welcome with the small care.

Hurry to the terrace of this chic hotel when it's time to put your feet under the table. The view is splendid and deliciously relaxing. And the prices are quite reasonable for a good meal in such a setting. Salads and seafood feature prominently on the à la carte menu. After your meal, plunge into the armchairs for a good cup of coffee. There's also a (very good) sandwich menu, available daily from 12pm to 8pm.

With two large terraces (one overlooking the sea and the other overlooking the street) and an additional one at the back on the parking lot, this nicely decorated pub offers a wide variety of beers(of course!) and seasonal dishes. It's also a great place for locally produced oysters and a great place to enjoy the sunset in the evening or a well-deserved tea time after a swim in the sea in the afternoon. On Sundays, it's simply crowded because the brunch is famous.

This very well kept restaurant, with a gastronomic pub atmosphere, serves very good local products accompanied by delicious fish and seafood. You can also be served in the adjoining garden at the back, with a more relaxed atmosphere, or enjoy the beautiful terrace. Very pleasant spots to enjoy a well-made menu. Near the bar, on a board, are written the daily dishes proposed according to the arrival of fish and fresh products. A simple address of great quality that we recommend.

Inside the fish market, the Pickled Pepper Café is a very nice place to enjoy a sandwich, a panini or a more substantial dish to choose from the proposals listed on the board next to the counter. Here, you will find everything and not only fish, so carnivores should be satisfied by the "special burger". The establishment also proposes very good and copious British breakfasts with eggs, bacon and sausages in particular. Moreover, the welcome is always smiling

This is certainly the most popular restaurant on the beach. Indeed, it is difficult to miss it because it gives directly on this last one. The panoramic view on the bay of Saint-Brelade is exceptional, whether from the terrace or behind the large bay windows of the elegant and airy room. Obviously, the menu here honors seafood, especially oysters and lobster from Jersey, iodized flavors and local products! We really like it. Diligent and very professional service.

Perched on the heights of the village, the Crab Shack is a large restaurant which seduces with its beautiful terrace and its dominant view on the port of Gorey, just below the castle of Mont Orgueil. It also offers a good cuisine and a very nice atmosphere. On the menu, you can choose between linguine with seafood and rather sophisticated hamburgers. Large plates to share (including one with seafood of course) are also a nice option for meals with family or friends. An excellent option.

The Green Island is a restaurant delightfully located on the beach. You can dine on the terrace with a view of the sea, it's beautiful! Accompanied by the sound of the waves, we enjoy a menu that honors local, fresh and seasonal products by working with Mediterranean influences, even oriental. At the time of our passage, after some oysters, we liked very much the nets of sole and mussels of Jersey and their spinaches in the butter in the chive. The establishment also has a very good wine list.

Roseville Bistro is a restaurant located at the end of a pretty little street leading to Havre des Pas and its beautiful beach. And where there's a seaside atmosphere, there's a sea-scented cuisine! The seafood platters are well thought-out, as are the classic moules marinières and oysters. But it's not just for fish lovers: there's something for every taste, including grilled meats and more sophisticated dishes. A very good address offering excellent value for money. Reservations recommended, especially at weekends.

The Boat House is a large, elegant brasserie facing the pretty port of Saint-Aubin. On the menu: traditional fish & chips, excellent homemade burgers, but also more elaborate dishes such as salmon steak with teriyaki sauce and other fresh, local fish. And even though it recently changed ownership, being taken over by a major archipelago group, you're always very welcome at the Boat House. And, last but not least, what a pleasure it is to enjoy the terrace as soon as the warm weather arrives!

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!

Le Nautique is one of the most popular restaurants in Guernsey which, as its name suggests, offers a menu largely dedicated to seafood, with shellfish and fish caught in the waters of the archipelago. Beautiful pieces, deliciously cooked with fresh and organic products by the chef Günter Botzenhardt. And, not to spoil anything, the welcome is as good as the plate, the service impeccable and, a little more, the view on the port of Guernsey is perfect. Nice wine list. Reservation recommended.

The Saltwater is delightfully situated above the marina of the small Beaucette marina, where you can enjoy watching the sailboats come and go. But most of all, you can enjoy a menu that obviously highlights the catch of the day and excellent seafood risottos and other crab and shrimp tagliatelle. The menu changes regularly according to the season and the availability of the fish. It is fine and very tasty.

Faulkner Fisheries is a high spot at the entrance to a blockhouse on the coast where you'll be served sandwiches, seafood and excellent barbecue portions on picnic tables. On the grill, you can choose from the fish of the day, shrimp, scallops and even lobsters grilled in butter and white wine. The cooking is always perfect. It is very simple and delicious. And especially, on sunny days, the setting facing the sea is really superb. A real good plan as we like them!

Just a stone's throw from the beach, the Bass & Lobster is obviously a showcase for seafood, freshly caught by local fishermen. These fishermen supply the restaurant's chef directly, who then transforms them into remarkable dishes. Compositions that can be seen coming together thanks to the establishment's semi-open kitchen. With 100% local produce on the menu, the whole island is in the spotlight!
