The best restaurants Guernesey

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.

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.

In the midst of this "craft attraction", there's also a more than decent café-restaurant. Here, you'll find sandwiches and seafood as starters (fish and French fries with tartar sauce, smoked salmon and lemon cream) or main courses. But also some meat dishes, pizzas, Asian specialties and good burgers. On Sundays, the menu features the old-fashioned roast. You can also stop in for coffee, tea or breakfast, especially on the lovely terrace overlooking Fort Grey.

Adjacent to the Imperial Hotel to which it also serves as a pub, this nice establishment seems to be nothing less than the last one before the end of the world... And this seems to be the case on this side of the island! We stop there to quench our thirst, to eat simple and well-made dishes, like burgers, nice pieces of meat, pasta dishes or good pizzas. It is also the ideal address to watch from the small terrace the waves crashing on the beach. Everything for a perfect gourmet and exotic break!

Here, in the eponymous hotel, you can choose between a warm bar with wooden decoration and a restaurant with a more traditional charm and a deliciously chic and romantic atmosphere. The latter, which has won numerous awards, offers good, rich international cuisine, but also some traditional specialties. The local products (usually organic) are well worked to realize a nice menu with colorful and rich dishes. A nice terrace in summer too.

L'Auberge du Val is a former hotel in the heart of the countryside, which has kept its delicious restaurant open. In a beautiful setting, it offers a menu that perfectly combines English and Mediterranean specialties. Proof of the quality of its offerings, the establishment attracts locals and tourists alike. It's an ideal place to sample the produce of the islands, including the seafood from Guernsey waters and the excellent local meats for which the establishment is renowned. A good address when it's time to sit down to dinner!

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.

The Lobster and Grill is the very good table of the Friquet Hotel. The English and especially the Guernsey cuisine that we find in this establishment is tasty and copious. And if the menu gives pride of place to vegetables from the garden, one goes there especially for the beautiful pieces of beef and, above all, the seafood and the lobster presented in all its forms and emphasized by the talented chef Gabriel Pestana and all his brigade. A beautiful wine list also. This address, much appreciated by the islanders, will delight the most demanding palates.

The Lobster and Grill is the Friquet Hotel's top restaurant. The English and especially Guernsey cuisine served here is tasty and hearty. And while the menu features garden vegetables, the main attraction is the fine cuts of beef and, above all, seafood and lobster, presented in all their forms and brought to life by the talented chef Gabriel Pestana and his entire brigade. A fine wine list too. This address, much appreciated by islanders, will delight the most demanding palates.

The Rockmount is a modern pub with a gastronomic flair that is very popular in Guernsey. Overlooking Cobo Beach, it's a great place to dine during or after a lazy day on the beach. The menu features simple yet effective dishes such as moules marinières, lamb chops, sea bass fillets, gnocchi with Guernsey cheddar or breaded chicken with parmesan. Pizzas and burgers are also on the menu.

This excellent restaurant with a very good reputation offers spectacular views behind the large bay windows of a room literally perched above the bay. A dream setting for a romantic and gastronomic moment, since the menu is of high quality and knows how to renew itself with the seasons. Here, the chef combines fresh and local quality ingredients with talent. The cocktail bar of the establishment is also a very popular spot on the island. An address to remember when planning a vacation in Jersey

Marvin's is a new table in the Aztech Soccer Arena, the popular indoor soccer center. The address is sure to delight sports fans. A trendy bar with a resolutely modern and relaxed decor, with large screens and televisions galore, as well as quieter corners, this is an ideal address for a drink in front of a good match or with friends! The à la carte menu features simple but well-executed dishes, from burgers and curries to fish & chips, wraps and pizzas.

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.

In the heart of Saint Sampson, this charming little address offers great sandwiches, toasts and paninis, as well as tasty omelettes, pasta dishes, wraps, salads and a wide range of drinks to quench your thirst at any time of day. For breakfast and afternoon tea, there's also a choice of excellent pastries. Nothing unforgettable, of course, but whether eaten on the premises in the friendly little dining room or to take away, it's more than enough.

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.

The restaurant of the Hotel de la Sablonnerie is a well known address on the island that mixes a very classical charm with a little touch of sophistication. On the menu, we make the (very appreciable) effort to work with home-made and local products to offer a tasty and organic cuisine in general. During the summer months, you can enjoy the delicious garden of the property at the table in the open air. And the charming owner's welcome is always smiling. An establishment not to be missed during a stopover on the island.

On the terrace (barefoot!), by the hotel pool, for a delightful lunch (reserved for residents) with a glass of excellent white wine in one hand, accompanied by a lobster salad to nibble on the other; or in the evening (open to all), in a more formal dining room for a 3-course menu (for example) of the highest quality, using fresh, seasonal produce, the Stocks Hotel's excellent table is a must-try. From spring to autumn, the menu here is one of freshness, flavor and creativity. A must for visiting epicureans!

Here is a small store that offers coffee, tea, very good homemade cakes and even some sandwiches (including a very good crab one), salads or good hot dishes. For a touch of freshness in season, there are delicious local ice creams that will please the whole family at any time of the day. In short, a nice address that will always be a pleasure to help you out when it's time to break bread or have a snack. And a gourmet stopover during a trip to Sark. A great find!

No doubt the name comes from the sunflower tablecloths laid out in this vast hall, where locals and tourists alike seem to gather for lunch or drinks (on the vast rooftop terrace in particular). Here, in the Island Hall and Community Centre, you can sample local produce prepared by charming island ladies who always welcome you with a smile and offer tea and cold drinks. All in all, a great place to keep the community alive and have a game of darts or pool.

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.

Braye Chippy is a nice place in Alderney where you can enjoy a small dish on the go. In particular a good fish'n'chip or mussels and French fries. This unpretentious, really simple establishment is located in the harbor. You can eat your fish and French fries on the terrace (where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets) or take it away to have a snack on a beach of the island. Be careful, if you want to drink a glass of wine, you have to bring your own bottle. It is a very popular address for the islanders.

In the heart of Sainte-Anne, here is a very good Thai restaurant which proposes well prepared and especially very copious dishes. Excellent curries, a pad thaï to fall down and all the other great classics of the gastronomy of the Land of Smiles. It is in any case very original to eat Thai on this small island in the Channel. As an aperitif, you can also enjoy a good cocktail. Note that take-away is also possible (until 9:30 pm).

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.

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.

In the middle of Victoria Street, this little sandwich and patisserie doesn't look like much. And yet it's an interesting place to order a sandwich, burger, panini or gulp down a soup of the day before setting off on a stroll to the other end of the island. Before finishing off with a crêpe, a brownie or a slice of pie. To make matters worse, the prices are affordable, the products used are fresh daily and the portions rather generous. A good place to eat on the go, especially as you can also eat in.

In this very well kept inn, one can taste fish and seafood specialties with a beautiful view of the sunset and the island of Guernsey in the background. But if the return of fishing is in good place on the menu, they are (well) accompanied by local and seasonal products. The menu changes regularly, according to the arrivals and the restaurant also has a very nice wine list. It is really a beautiful address. Proper attire is expected (jeans, shorts, sneakers and flip-flops are not allowed).

With its terrace sheltered from the wind, the Ship Inn has more character than other establishments on the island, and the food is quite good. Apart from the services, a cream tea is served all day long, as well as ice creams in the afternoon. Note also that it is possible to travel from Guernsey and back just for dinner, which many people from the neighboring island do. A good indication of the quality of the cuisine. Also note that a special Sunday lunch menu is offered every Sunday. A good typical UK address.
