Blanchard's

Probably the most well-known restaurant on the island, Bob and Melinda Blanchard opened the restaurant in 1994, and have written two books about the experience. A Trip to the Beach: Living on Island Time in the Caribbean chronicled their experiences establishing Blanchard's, while At Blanchard's: A Trip to the Beach Cookbook recreates the restaurant's stellar offerings for the home cook while illuminating the Blanchards' life on Anguilla and back home in Norwich, Vermont.

Chef Melinda is known for her fusion cuisine, which blends the flavors of Asia, Spain, California, and the Caribbean. Her ever-evolving menu has earned the restaurant the Best in Caribbean award. The restaurant has also been recognized by Wine Spectator magazine for its extensive wine cellar.

Choose from an impressive array of appetizers--lobster cakes, corn chowder, pistachio-crusted goat cheese salad, grilled portobello mushrooms. The house specialty is the Caribbean Sampler, a medley of crusted mahi-mahi with coconut, lime, and ginger; roasted Anguilla lobster; and spicy jerk chicken served with grilled cinnamon-rum bananas. Other popular choices are the roasted swordfish, seared filet mignon of tuna, osso buco, rack of lamb glazed with Hoisin barbecue sauce, and the beef tenderloin. For dessert try "pie in a glass" - a wonderful key lime pie.

Surrounded by lovely tropical gardens and only steps from the beach, this open-air restaurant in Mead's Bay is a charming place for dinner.
