Koal Keel Restaurant

  From the Anguilla Local News - Site Map.

[Click to enlarge Koal Keel Restaurant] To reach Koal Keel you go to The Valley and turn west at the center of town on Coronation Avenue, drive up to Crocus Hill through an alley of mahogony trees that were planted when George VI was crowned in 1937, and look for the second oldest building in Anguilla, the warden's house. Besides its charming stone and wood architecture and its elegant pastry shop, Koal Keel Restaurant boasts excellent dining.

Ambrose the Captain of the waiters takes your order. Jerome is the pastry chef, Pascal the bread chef, and Leonard "Smoke" Sharplis is the head chef. Koal Keel has an extensive wine list, housed in a huge wine cellar made from a converted antique cistern.

This year Koal Keel has two fixed-price menus in addition to the ala carte menu. Reservations necessary in the high season: (264) 497-2930, fax: (264) 497-5379. They are not open for lunch.

Here is a copy of their current dinner menu. All prices are in US dollars (sigh!) and a 15% service charge is added.
