Lillian’s
Caribbean Grill:
This Grill dishes up local specialties with a very small sampling of
items
like burgers and ribs. This is your chance to try things like pigtail,
stewed
oxtail, goat water, souse, and other exotic treats. Folks with less
adventurous
appetites might prefer red snapper fried or in butter sauce or the
chicken
curry. The menu changes daily. Lillian’s location right at the head of
the Main
Street shopping district keeps you from braving Charlotte Amalie’s back
streets
in search of a good West Indian lunch.

Cruzzin’s Carribean
Restaurant and
Bar
You
will find this charming neighborhood restaurant brimming with
customers. Old
red brick walls, a holdover from days when the building served as a
stable, serve
as the backdrop for works by local artists. Curries and local seafood
dishes
are the specialty. Try the conch, lobster and fish, and dishes like
Cuzzin
Nemo, a seafood assortment with a spicy sauce served over pasta. Sample
a local
beverage like sea moss (a milky drink made from seaweed,) maubi (made
from bark
and spices) and ginger beer (tastes like it sounds.)

Agave Terrace (Point
Pleasant Resort)
This
lovely cliffside restaurant epitomizes tropical dining. The friendly
but
elegant atmosphere is outdone only by the excellent cuisine. Agave
Terrace is known
for its seafood specialties. Try the local lobster or the catch of the
day
prepared with your choice of sauce and style. The restaurant has a menu
just
for children, who are welcome here. It has won six gold medals,
including the
Best Overall award, from Chaine des Rotisseurs and an Award of
Excellence from Wine Spectator. A steel drum band usually plays on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Duffy's
Love Shack:
This
crazy place has been named the ultimate tropical drink shack and the
offerings
will not disappoint. The party-hearty ambience is definitely tropical
with a
thatch roof bar and leopard prints on the seats. Creative drinks are
the rule,
from the 50-ounce flaming Volcano to the Revenge of Godzilla, served in
a big,
green take-home cup. Food is just as colorful. You can cook your own
meat with
the flaming pupu platter, or eat already-prepared jerk chicken, grilled
mahi-mahi or gourmet burgers. Every night has a different theme. No
credit
cards are accepted.
