Overlooking the undisturbed, white sand shores of Long Bay lies Anguilla’s first Relais & Châteaux property, the grand Quintessence Hotel. The hotel is home to one of the island’s finest five-star restaurants, JULIAN’S: A Tropical French Bistro.

Lunch is served in the most elegant of settings, overlooking the hotel’s pool.

What’s for lunch?

Chef Dominique Thevenet whips up a plethora of specialties. His chilled soup with tomato, cucumbers, bell pepper and red onion makes for a refreshing start to lunch.

It sets the stage for the show stopper…

The Crab Cakes

Panko crusted lump crab cakes, they are served with an apple fennel slaw and roasted red pepper aioli. They are a “must have.”

JULIAN’S is open for lunch from 11:30am-2pm and dinner at 6pm-11pm. For reservations, call: 264-498-8106.

Lofty, open-air, with charm and class, da’Vida is a favorite for elegant evening meals. It is set on secluded Crocus Bay, which is one of Anguilla’s top sunset viewing spots.

The view goes perfectly with their expert mixologist, Mr. Joash Proctor’s cool cocktails…

And what goes best with a crisp glass of wine or cool margarita?

da’Vida’s excellent Indian tapas of vegetable samosas with tamarind chutney…

And tandoori lamb chops with cilantro mint chutney…

da’Vida, we are so excited you are back!

da’Vida is open Tuesday-Saturday for dinner and tapas. For reservations, visit www.davidaanguilla.com or call 498-5433.

A favorite for its breathtaking view of Sandy Ground blue, we are excited to announce that Flavours is BACK!

The delightfully breezy restaurant is owned and operated by Chef Kevin Paul. He is a household name here in Anguilla, best known for creating some of Straw Hat’s most popular menu items back in the day. Today Chef Kevin Paul’s creations can be tasted at Flavours.

What comes highly recommended?

First, Chef’s tomato pie…

Layers of tomato are mixed with mozzarella and popped into a flaky pastry shell. The sizable creation is baked and finished off with a balsamic drizzle. It is one of THE best dishes in Anguilla.

Another favorite is the juicy fish sandwich…

This fish sandwich packs a punch! Its secret? Grilled-to-perfection fish is topped with a gentle jerk aioli. Every bite is tasty-spicy delight.

If it’s pasta you prefer, Chef Kevin Paul has you covered, too.

With roasted chicken and lots of veggies, it is a quality pasta plate.

A sweet spot for family lunches and romantic dinners, join me in saying a huge “welcome back to Flavours!”

Flavours is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Closed Sunday.
