The best restaurants Friar’s Bay

An idyllic, historic setting just minutes from Marigot. The panorama is pleasant, with an unobstructed view of the island of Anguilla. Service takes place on a large covered terrace, where a variety of posters give you an idea of the owner's sense of humor. The menu is unsophisticated, offering salads, ribs, grilled fish, rib steaks, fish and chips, club sandwiches... It's not haute cuisine, but it's perfect for a day at the beach, stretched out on a deckchair or sipping a cocktail at any hour.

A beach restaurant (the first you'll see when you arrive) run by a Saint-Martinois. A reggae atmosphere, you can't miss it with its Rasta colors (green, yellow, red). Its reputation comes mainly from the parties it organizes, called Full Moon Parties, on the occasion of the full moon. The restaurant is small and simply decorated. Due to its location, the menu is sea-focused, even if it includes classic dishes. You can rent deckchairs, kayaks, flippers, mask and snorkel... The restaurant does not accept credit cards.

This is the latest restaurant to open on Friar's Bay beach, between the other two. Located in the middle of the beach, 978 Beach Lounge offers deckchairs in the shade of large umbrellas, and a large terrace next to the restaurant if the sun is too strong. The restaurant serves simple, hearty dishes (grilled meats, fish, daily specials) as well as tapas. Many cocktails to discover. Ideal for sunset. Evening events are organized regularly; check the Facebook page for details.
