The best restaurants Jersey

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.

The Hungry Man is a small local celebrity, even an institution, which has been operating since 1957 in a beautiful quiet bay (safe for swimming) with a breathtaking view of Les Ecréhous first and France a little further. Otherwise, behind a very colorful and simple shop window (it's almost a stand) at the northern end of Rozel harbor, you can taste delicious crab sandwiches, well-balanced hamburgers and delicious home-made cakes. Good, hearty and cheap: what more could you ask for?

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.

A relaxed, but sometimes noisy, café, to know as it is located in the arts centre of Jersey (cinema, dance, theatre, exhibitions). International cuisine. Access to the Internet. An indispensable place to note immediately in your address book.

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 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.

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

The table at Longueville Manor, the only Relais & Châteaux in the Anglo-Norman archipelago, is excellent. Here, the cuisine, while often quite classic, can sometimes be surprising. All the ingredients, local and fresh, as well as the various components of the dishes, are always the object of attentive and passionate preparation and highly professional dressing. The wine cellar (with several thousand labels) is simply legendary. It's a bit expensive, but it's a little folly that shouldn't disappoint you; we like it a lot.

This chic restaurant is very popular with islanders and is located on the first floor of The Royal Yacht Hotel. It offers sophisticated international cuisine, with Executive Chef Inaka Weerasinghe at the helm since 2021, who brings an Australasian flair to a menu that blends local products with more exotic ingredients. The wine list is very well stocked with labels from all over the world. In short, a very good cuisine in a very sophisticated setting. You can also go there for the very nice view on the marina and the central square.

Despite its name, there is nothing French about La Petite Baguette, except perhaps the "imitation baguettes" offered on the shelf. However, we have to admit that the sandwiches at Gino Risoli's are pretty good, hearty and, above all, available all day long, which for a city like Saint-Helier, which is rather short on hours, is quite welcome. An excellent option to eat a sandwich or a hamburger on the go or when the other restaurants have packed up their terraces. Notice to the small budgets!

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.

This is a small shop where you can grab a good fresh sandwich, to compose yourself, or to nibble on one of the few tables the good dishes of the day concocted with fresh products. Paninis, pasta dishes, soups and salads are also available on the menu. For dessert, there are a few small treats, including excellent homemade cakes. Note that the house also offers very good and hearty British breakfasts. A very good address for small and demanding budgets.

Jersey has a very large Portuguese-speaking community and, as such, it is only natural that some restaurants offer Portuguese specialties. This is the case here, in this small snack bar where chef Maria offers - to take away only - English and Portuguese specialties. In particular the Espetada, a beef speciality that comes straight from the island of Madeira. Ideal for a quick bite to eat (be careful though, the portions are gargantuan), before going for a walk in Howard Davis Park, located just 300 meters away.

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

The very chic Sampshire restaurant is one of the excellent restaurants in Jersey's capital. In a chic and tasteful setting, tucked into deliciously soft blue velvet sofas, you can enjoy the talent of chef Tom Radiguet and his team. On the menu? A creative, sophisticated and local menu, which honors the products of the sea, whether for brunch or dinner. And when the sun is out, you can enjoy the restaurant's terraces. And the service is impeccable

In a 17th century building, La Bastille is a charming address in the heart of Saint-Hélier. A place where you feel good, where the staff is adorable and where you can eat quality dishes. The cuisine is finely executed with Mediterranean influences and can be accompanied by a wide choice of wines offered on the menu. And some French specialities of course are to be put under the covers, like the excellent steak chateaubriand sauce béarnaise. Not to spoil anything, the welcome is warm and the atmosphere excellent.

A small rustic café, warm and friendly, where you can enjoy sandwiches and especially good cakes, all home-made in the bakery of the establishment. All kinds of people come here: young office workers, high school students, moms with their children, and they all crowd around the small wooden tables. We like the large bay windows which look onto the street and the covered market not far away. The choice of sandwiches and dishes offered is written on boards and the smoothies are excellent

In this Michelin-starred restaurant, the menu marvelously mixes local products and flavors from elsewhere. The menu changes according to the seasons and new arrivals. If the adventurous are tempted by the 6-course surprise menu, the risk will remain minimal as the quality and mastery are there. In short, this address with its chic and neat setting will delight gourmets. It is quite simply one of the best restaurants in Great Britain and is constantly winning awards and distinctions. And in summer the terrace is very pleasant.
