Josef's Restaurant |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
Waverly House St. Lawrence Gap, Dover 246-420-7638
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
CHRIST CHURCH PARISH. A converted residence now houses Chef Josef Schwaiger's eponymous restaurant. It's simultaneously upscale and relaxed, with wide open plantation shutters to let in the ocean breezes, white tablecloths, gorgeous views of the ocean, twinkling candlelight, and charming little gazebos dotting the carefully tended gardens. Sophisticated contemporary cuisine is on tap, Continental with hints of Asia and the Caribbean. Guests revel in tuna carpaccio with wasabi mayonnaise, twice baked goat cheese soufflé, roasted Cornish hen with braised cabbage, and orange-ginger glazed duck. Return visits are a joy, as the menu changes frequently. |

Kampai |

(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
St. Lawrence Gap 246-420-7638
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
CHRIST CHURCH PARISH. Chef Josef Schwaiger's Japanese offering is located upstairs from his much celebrated and better known restaurant on the ground floor, and it is just as impressive. Kampai sports the clean, sleek look of Asian design punctuated with bright red. Sushi, among the very best on the island, is the main draw, but the menu features a number of other choices that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Highlights include octopus and lobster carpaccio with spicy lemon dressing, broiled scallops in butter-ponzu sauce, panko-fried crab claws and lobster tempura. |

L'Acajou |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
Sandy Lane Resort, Sandy Lane Bay 246-444-2000
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
ST. JAMES PARISH. The Sandy Lane Hotel's signature restaurant, L'Acajou (Mahogany), enjoys a prime open-air setting graced by the majestic trees for which it's named. With the ocean just a few feet away, it's certainly a picturesque spot to relish the restaurant's supremely fresh sushi and sashimi, hoisin glazed duck, seared wasabi crusted yellowfin, and pork char sui. Not a fan of Japanese cooking? Never fear – there are several Continental choices as well, such as rack of lamb en cocotte. Desserts are slightly exotic but delectable: chocolate fondant with green tea ice cream, banana-dulce de leche harumaki roll, and raspberry soufflé. Three-course meal BBD225. |

Mannie's Suga Suga |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
Mullins Beach 246-419-4511
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
ST. PETER PARISH. By day, Mannie's is a trendy beach bar serving simple but tasty Caribbean-American fare, fruity cocktails, a wealth of watersports, and comfortable chairs for lounging on the beach. Come nightfall, however, the offerings become more romantic and exotic. The context may be a bit unexpected, but Japanese and Thai food somehow seem appropriate against the backdrop of gentle waves and sandy beach. Sushi, pad-thai, spring rolls, and tod-mun fish cakes with Thai curry paste taste oh-so-good here, no matter how untraditional the setting. |

Sassafras |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
Royal Westmoreland Rd Sugar Hill Resort, Mount Standfast 246-419-9100
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
ST. JAMES PARISH. Want Chinese for dinner? No, how about Italian. On second thought, what about a steak... Can't make up your mind what to have for dinner? Then Sassafras is perfect. The food is excellent, but besides that, there are so many different international cuisines represented that even at a table of eight no one needs to order from the same locale. Add to that a fantastic bistro atmosphere with a lovely garden, and you have a surefire winner. And a word to the wise: The Sunday dim sum brunch is wildly popular, so get there early and expect a wait. |

The Mews |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |
|
2nd St, Holetown 246-432-1122
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
ST. JAMES PARISH. Well-established as a place for a fine meal, The Mews is also a popular spot for a bit of late night revelry. The dining rooms are comfortably elegant, well-suited for enjoying upscale Continental dishes such as duck confit with arugula salad and an aged balsamic reduction, or Asian-influenced specialties like Thai fish cakes with sweet chili sauce. The ordinarily relaxed atmosphere takes a decidedly livelier turn after dinner, especially on Fridays when a fun local band entertains from 10:30 onward. |

(Restaurants - Asian) |

Crane Beach Resort, Crane Beach 246-423-6220
|
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
ST. PHILIP PARISH. Part of the allure of the Crane Hotel's Zen is the ambiance. It's not unusual to find a Japanese restaurant with a sizable tatami room for groups, but Zen also has several smaller ones for couples and foursomes. Lovely Crane Beach provides an unbeatable view, while the kitchen turns out excellent Thai and Japanese dishes that will leave you thoroughly satisfied. Miso soup and sushi are wonderful; Thai dishes like Tom Yam Kai (hot and sour soup with chicken, lemongrass, lime juice and mushrooms) and Bai Grapaw (prawns stir-fried with extra spicy chili, onion and basil leaves) are authentic and delicious. A brief Continental menu is also available; breakfast and lunch menus are comprised of simple but satisfying and well-prepared American fare. |
