Paradise Cafe....Cocoberry Shake.

Oh wait, that's not a meal is it? Okay then, Morgan's Mango lobster, Skinny's burger, and Miss Lucy's fish fry always seem to make an appearance.

To be fair, I've only been twice, but the meals I think about between trips come from the following places:

1. Baked in the Sun
2. Skinny Leg's
3. Asolare

I've never been able to try Shipwreck Landing, Miss Lucy's or Vie's, but those are always on my wish list.

La Tapa is our absolute must do. We try and get there twice.

Zozos.

Miss Lucy's for lunch.

I ate at Sweet Plantains for the first time last trip. It is now ranked up there with La Tapa.

John would add a burger at Skinny Legs to the list.

Lime Inn and Paradiso (pricey, but well worth it)

We also love Shipwreck, but since we normally stay on the Cruz Bay side, we only get over there for lunch, but it is just superb (made twice in July).
How many more days?

I would also add Aqua Bistro. We made it there for the first time in July, and were very happy.

Rhumblines and Lime Inn all you can eat shrimp night. Unfortunately the Lime Inn was still closed when we were there.

New for us was Deli Grotto. GREAT sandwiches!!

We hit The Balcony three times last trip. It was delicious every time, great view and friendly service. We have tried Morgan's Mango twice-first time great second time not so great. We definitely would like to get back to Vie's, Sun Dog and baked in the Sun. We've done Rhumb lines two years in a row too but find most of the food overly hot (unnecessarily so) which is a shame because the stuff that isn't doused in hotness is very good.
When will I see St John again?

We always get to Morgan's Mango and Sogo's in Cruz Bay and to Sweet Plantains and Shipwreck in Coral Bay. We liked Sosa's and were sorry to see it go under. We also make a point of having breakfast at Maho at least once.

All of the Coral Bay places, since we stay there and rarely venture into the big city, lol. Chateau Bordeaux our first night. A lot seems to be closed this year (we're going this week), so Skinny's will see even more of us! Might have to change weeks next year just to catch Sweet Plaintains, which we loved the one time we ate there.

I am so ready for that bluecheeseburger in paradise, with a pineapple painkiller!

We love Lime Inn and Deli Grotto...we used to hit Chillys for breakfast but did NOT have good service on our last trip. The waitress was SOOOOOOOOOO rude...we MIGHT try it again when we're there in June but Deli Grotto for breakfast is yummy and the service is GREAT! We love Chateau Bordeaux but its PRICEY...we've been to The Fishtrap and it was ok...also love Cafe Roma...YUMMY...I would like to check out Aqua Bistro...a couple of you mentioned it...

I don't know much about the restaurants in STJ, but I know I'm headed for the Beach Barfor the Tuna Down Now as soon as I get off the ferry.
