  • 1. Bananas

    $$$

    The wildly diverse experiences of peripatetic English owner Gillian Smith inform every aspect of this restaurant, which is set in a classic plantation greathouse she herself painstakingly built and decorated with an array of items: colonial pith helmets, carved pineapple chairs, calabash chandeliers, dressmaker dummies, Turkish kilims, and Moroccan lamps. From bourbon-glazed guava ribs to lobster linguine in saffron cream, the dishes are equally eclectic, and the selection of aged rum—from Appleton to Zacapa—is sterling. The property, which is surrounded by extravagant gardens, also features an art gallery in a faux chattel house.

  • 2. Hermitage Plantation Inn

    $$$

    After cocktails in the antiques-filled parlor, head to the verandah for a dinner featuring dishes often made with ingredients from the inn's herb garden, fruit trees, and livestock collection. The scrumptious cured meats, baked goods, preserves, and ice creams are homemade, and the traditional wood-burning oven yields incredible thin-crust pizza. Wednesday night pig roasts are an island must; Friday night pizza and Caribbean cicchetti (small side dishes) are quite popular. The ever-growing wine list is exceptionally priced, and the entire evening is spiced with bon mots and bonhomie from a scintillating mix of locals, expats, and guests.

  • 3. Restaurant 750

    $$$$

    The Hoffman family presides over a scintillating evening: canapés and cocktails in the Montpelier plantation's great room, followed by dinner on the breezy west verandah above the lights of Charlestown. Executive chef Halva Brown uses produce from the inn's organic herb gardens and fruit trees to full advantage on the changing three-course menu, which might start with melt-in-your-mouth tuna tartare or pork belly with curry and apple chutney; segue into gossamer wahoo with artichoke, carrots, and pickled onions in fennel-turmeric sauce; and end with decadent desserts like lemon tart with milk chocolate corn flakes and strawberry coulis. Wines on the exemplary list pair perfectly with the cuisine, and infused rums make the perfect finish. You can take a taste home with you: M Boutique sells homemade jams and sauces.

    • Gorgeously presented dishes

  • 4. Serendipity

    $$$$

    This stylish restaurant occupies an old Creole home whose charming enclosed patio offers lovely views of Basseterre and the bay. The interior lounge is even more conducive to romantic dining—with cushy sofas, patterned hardwood floors, porcelain lamps, and African carvings—and the ambitious menu reflects co-owner-chef Alexander James's peripatetic postings: crispy fried Brie, spring rolls with plum dipping sauce, mahimahi with a cheese-and-basil crust, teriyaki-glazed tiger shrimp.

    3 Wigley Ave., St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-465–9999

    Known For

    • Affordable lunches with gargantuan tapas-style selections
    • Creative vegetarian options
    • Well-considered wine list

  • 5. Spice Mill

    $$$$

    The cuisine at this beachfront beauty references the Caribbean's melting pot of African, French, English, Iberian, Asian, and Dutch influences. But the kitchen and barefoot-chic bar, which is open daily and serves light snacks, also adopt a locavore philosophy, sourcing as much as possible from Kittitian farmers and fishermen (who might troop through the restaurant with 30 just-caught snapper). Hibiscus lovers enjoy the spirits made on-site with local sorrel found throughout the drink menu. Lunch is considerably cheaper and more island-flavored, albeit often overrun by cruise ship passengers.

    • Lively clientele
    • Lovely beachfront setting
    • Fresh fish dishes (try the Panko-crusted crab cakes or seafood risotto)

  • 6. The Pavilion

    $$$$

    Imagine a semi-alfresco cathedral of raw limestone coral overlooking a sandy, palm-fringed crescent: that's this ritzy Christophe Harbour beach club (open to nonmembers for dinner only), whose soaring interior contrasts a curved exhibition kitchen, streamlined bar stools, and abstract pendant lamps with sea fans and driftwood, antique settees, and 19th-century black-and-white photos of island scenes. The kitchen similarly combines tradition with innovation, juxtaposing textures, flavors, and colors so that even "traditional" fare like conch fritters is goosed with pickled ginger, passion-fruit coulis, and swirls of jerk mayo. The wine list features some surprising bargains, especially among white varietals, and you can finish your meal in style with one of a dozen aged rums.

  • 7. Carambola Beach Club

    $$$$

    At this ultra-stylish restaurant, which unfurls sensuously down South Friar's Bay, more casual lunches take full advantage of the beachfront setting, with white tents and hedonistic beach beds (often overflowing with cruise ship passengers). But nighttime is truly spectacular, as outdoor fiber-optic fountains enhance the visual flair of the vast, sleek-but-not-slick interior, replete with eat-in wine cellar and tile-and-layered-wood sushi bar. Sterling starters include the creative maki rolls. Seafood such as herb-marinated grouper in caper cream is masterfully executed; nothing at Carambola is overcooked. The sole letdown is the wine list. Although it's the island's largest, it lacks imagination; however, the by-the-glass selections are at least reasonably priced.

  • 8. Marshall's

    $$$

    The pool area of Horizons Villa Resort is transformed into a stylish eatery thanks to smashing ocean views, potted plants, serenading tree frogs, and elegant candlelit tables. Jamaican chef Verral Marshall fuses ultra-fresh local ingredients with global influences. Artfully plated, most dishes are more along the lines of what you'd find at a steakhouse (grilled ribeye), but the Caribbean portion of the menu is where dishes shine, like the curry chicken with pineapple and coconut.

    • Superlative seafood

  • 9. Nisbet Great House

    $$$$

    The interior of the greathouse is blissfully air-conditioned and tastefully decorated with equestrian bronzes; antique hurricane lamps; works by famed Nevisian artist Eva Wilkin; and wicker, mahogany, or cherry-wood furnishings. Local ingredients are used as much as possible, and although a more mature clientele dictates menus of straightforward Eisenhower-era options (from house-cured gravlax to filet mignon), longtime executive chef Antonio "Tony" Piani might sneak in a conch-breadfuit-and-dumpling soup or a stuffed lobster.

    Newcastle, Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis

  • 10. The Gin Trap

    $$$

    This split-level space lives up to its "Let the Evening Be Gin" mantra, but succulent seafood and myriad house-made items (from pastas to infused oils to baked goods) ensure that gin isn't the sole reason to visit. The inlaid-wood bar—where free popcorn is served in whimsical oversize glasses—and adjacent patio make smart settings for the mixologist's wizardry; cushy leather seating with Union Jack and American flag throw pillows, huge model boats doubling as drink carts, and steamer trunks serving as coffee tables complete the fun, funky look.

    Main Rd., Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–8230

    Known For

    • Stunning sunsets from patio
    • Extraordinary selection of gin with tasting flights
    • Affordable bar bites
  • 11. The Rocks at Golden Rock

    $$$$

    This glam eatery's tiered garden is a masterpiece: glass panels and ceilings display the night sky while reflecting patio lights; silvery waterfalls, pools, and fountains filigree the grounds; strategically placed boulders resemble hulking Henry Moore sculptures; and flowers as well as fire-engine-red directors' chairs and a tarp add pops of color. Contemporary and colonial artworks from Mali and Afghanistan grace the interior, where the kitchen doesn't always match the setting's creativity; still the jerk pork, pan-roasted snapper, or justly celebrated conch chowder (perfectly chunky with a touch of heat offsetting the creamy base) are solid choices.

    Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–3346

    • Striking design
    • Expert re-inventions of Caribbean classics
    • Fabulous lobster rolls at lunch

  • 12. Yachtsman Grill

    $$$$

    This beachfront eatery features nautical decor (sailboat models, keels, fishing rods, outboard motors) and seafood to match (pick your own lobster from the tank). Steaks, barbecue ribs, and lamb chops are also on offer, and there's a wood-fired pizza oven. The place overflows with good cheer, especially during the joyous happy hours. Oenophiles will appreciate the Cruvinet dispensing several wines by the glass; the convivial owners, Greg and Evelyn, adore Austrian bottlings.

    Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
    869-469–1382

    Known For

    • Enviable beach setting
    • Excellent, fairly reasonable wine list
    • House-baked goods and pizzas
