Anguilla 12/24- B&D's BBQ

Every year in Anguilla there are a couple nights we don't go out to eat, but eat what the locals favor. B&D's BBQ is a family owned BBQ on the front lawn of their home where they serve ribs, bbq chicken, grilled lobster (sometimes).

Noted Dishes: Ribs, Chicken, Johnny Cakes, Coleslaw, Rice/Beans, Fried Plantains, cold Pasta Salad

ALL VERY GOOD.

Anguilla 12/23- Veya

Best restaurant on Anguilla!

Noted Dishes: Vanilla cured duck*, butter poached lobster, Filet Mignon

At the beginning of the mean a basket of breads comes out, with creamy and melty butter to spread on. There is moist banana and pumpkin bread along with JOHNNY CAKES. They are a fried cornbread-like bread that is shaped like a disc and incredible. At Veya, I never order an appetizer because I know Johnny Cakes are in my future. EAT THEM. And a lot of 'em.

Anguilla 12/22- Jacala

French-ish place on Meads bay

Noted Dishes: Pan seared duck liver foie gras, whole snapper, calamari risotto

Dessert: Tasting platter***, Creme Brulee, Chocolate cake

Overall thoughts: Entrees were pretty good, especially the snapper*. Desserts sucked pretty hard. The only fine dessert was the tasting platter. All of the flavors of the creme brulee were present, but it was soup (no consistency). The chocolate cake tasted like dirt. hahaha I still ate it all

Anguilla 12/21- Sandbar

if you happen to stumble into Sandy Ground, what better way to spend a lovely dinner with family and friends at an elegant, tasty tapas restaurant. Sandbar was marvelous as it offered a variety of foods, categorized as fresh, fried, grilled/pan fried. All dishes are sharing portions and two per person is highly recommended.

Dishes to order: Carib beer battered fresh caught fish with capers and aioli $8, Panko Crusted Shrimp $9, Watermelon and feta cheese salad, lemon roasted hen, duck (can be rolled into pancakes), ***Special french fries with homemade aioli (You may need 2-3 orders of them)

Overall Report: For a place that is new and not popular yet, Sandbar is absolutely a restaurant that is a must for tourists of the island. Very reasonable price wise as all of the dishes are between 8-10 dollars (US). Very Very Good. For more information.

Anguilla 12/20- The Barrel Stay

Had caesar salad to start. Still a tad too gloopy. I now now just to ask for less dressing. Still very eatable. Last year when we went my Dad got the scalloped/seared foie gras. OUTSTANDING. 11 out of 10. Just as how I remembered from last year. It is a must order. Desert tonight just baking cookies with Lily. 

Other noted dishes: Wahoo (given choices for preparation)

Like most kids, i'm a desert guy. The menu looked a little weak. Ice cream assortment, chocolate cake, and a vanilla creme brulee that sounded the most appetizing. One of the chocolate dishes sounded too rich for me to handle especially after over indulging on the foie gras....

Overall report: Very Solid, definately worth the trip down to Sandy Ground.
