Lunch: Tourist Trap, Vie's Snack Shack

Dinner: Shipwreck Landing, Sweet Plantains

Definite Coral Bay slant here....................................

Sounds like from these lists we will be busy for years to come trying out all of these fabulous recommendations!! Our list is very sparse compared to all of yours...

Donkey Diner for Breakfast
Skinny's for the burgers
and High Tide for the location

Been going to the Lime Inn for over 20 years and I still love it. It's a St. John institution.

Skinny's is equally notable, but in contrast embodies the Coral Bay community culture. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner there.

My mother loves Sweet Plantains and we went there to celebrate both our anniversaries last year. However, I was thoroughly unimpressed with the meal that night.

Shipwreck is also memorable, but I haven't been there in a decade.

I've had more Donkey Diner pizzas than I can recall. My father loves taking us for Sunday brunch.

Hands down the best kitchen on the island is ours. Between a Greek mother and Thai wife, all who visit eat well.

Definite Coral Bay slant here....................................

I'm with you Randy. Our last two trips we never went to Cruz Bay. We pretty much plant ourselves in Coral Bay.

Zozos
La Tapa
The Equator (at Caneel)
Waterfront Bistro
Asolare
And Skinny Legs burgers are a must have.

1. Sheila's Pot. FANTASTIC lady and fantastic food. Plus you get enough food in one $10 meal to feed 3 people. A must as far as I'm concerned.

2. Cafe Roma. YUM! Pizza and pasta are both great.

3. Aqua Bistro. On Friday they have a tuna dish that is fantastic. I forget the name of it, but it's delicious. And you can only get it on Friday. (The appetizer portion is more than enough, by the way.)

4. Beach Bar - especially the crab dip.

Forgot to mention Mojo's for breakfast.
Great omelettes/ breakfast buttitos... Not sure if it was called "spanish" or "southern", but regardless, it was slammin'.
Hopefully we're talking about the same place in Wharfside village. Kinda' across the street from the G-Spot,near all of the shopping...
Yummo breakfast!
Smiles-
MJ

I hope you're keeping count .

Breakfast - Mojo Cafe, Jakes
Lunch - Tourist Trap
Dinner - Lime Inn, Aqua Bistro (and every other place mentioned)
Finer Dining- Asolare, La Tapa

There was someone re-opening the Chateau Bordeaux location in late 2009, but I haven't seen it mentioned lately.

Shipwreck
High Tide...location and Kenny and T Bird
Beach Bar
Skinnys
Morgan Mangos

The Deck on our villa for Breakfast or Dinner...lunch is usually on some beach

We like Jakes & Tamarind Inn for breakfast, Baked IntheSun, Skinny Legs, and Tourist Trap for lunch and Asolare, Lime Inn, La Plancha, and Cruz Bay Prime at the Westin for dinner. I'm getting hungry; be there Thursday! Wahoo!

Thank You to everyone for sharing your tips!

Does anyone know if the space formerly held by Chateau Bordeaux is vacant? What about the outdoor grill on the left side of the building? I believe Loretta used to open for lunch there.

When we were there a few weeks ago, there was a sign that said it was open for lunch, but we did not stop (sorry - Tourist Trap it was!). There were alot of people milling around near the shops, so I would guess the grill may be open. Perhaps PIA would know for sure.

Maybe start with "pizza by the pool", not sure..."shish-keboobs" could get freaky with those pointy skewers, and fondues could end up being painful, as well... -not sure we're ready for all that, yet...

If ya get real brave, try topping all of that off by nekkid dining in town.

Only been once, but our favorites were:

Zozo's,
Sunday brunch at Miss Lucy's,
Skinny Legs and
Uncle Joe's.

Going back in a couple of weeks and we'll revisit our favorites and hopefully get to Sweet Plantains, Rhumblines, Shipwreck Landing ...

Oh, and Ted's Supper Club is coming by the villa one night for our special anniversary dinner.

Who said you have to go on a cruise to put on weight when you're on vacation??

I'm with you Randy. Our last two trips we never went to Cruz Bay. We pretty much plant ourselves in Coral Bay.

I'm with Bev and Randy as to staying on the Coral Bay side, however I must add Aqua Bistro to the mix.I think that MJ is a terrific chef and the bar has become one of my favorites.
