BUZZ SEAFOOD & GRILL is a relatively new addition to Rodney Bay's restaurant strip and is already a firm favourite. Chef Marie and owner Pat Bowden have put together an eclectic menu with dishes tried and tested from their previous 5 ventures. The a la carte menu is modern and internationally inspired and has a dish to suit everyone's palate. House specialties include Spicy Lobster and Crab Cakes; Homemade Spinach Ravioli and to follow Moroccan Lamb Shanks; Roasted Pesto Chicken or for something more 'local' West Indian Pepperpot or Seafood Creole. There are succulent Char-grilled Steaks and BBQ Ribs for the meat lover and a great selection of pastas, salads and vegetarian dishes. Fresh fish is delivered daily for Seared Tuna; Potato Crusted Red Snapper or Grilled Mahi-Mahi as well as fresh Lobster in season. The wine list is simple yet varied and the house wines excellent. Desserts are a must and all made on the premises - Frozen Coconut Mousse and Caribbean Crème Brulée. Buzz truly has something to offer everyone. Diners may choose whether they wish to sit in the cozy and intimate gazebo or under the fairy lit marquee or even at the popular bar, which has traditional pub food such as shepherd's pie and fish and chips. During the holiday season (Dec – May) Buzz opens every Sunday at 11am for a great Sunday Brunch. Eggs Benedict, Scrambled Eggs with Lobster, Omelets and the infamous Buzzing English Breakfast are just a few things you can choose from. With its spacious all weather marquee, Buzz is a great location for weddings and private parties. Buzz is open daily from 5pm. Closed Mondays. Sunday brunch in season from 11am onwards. Reservations are recommended. Telephone: 458 0450. Major Credit Cards accepted.

The Coal Pot has been a fine dining experience for the last forty years. Michelle Elliot and her French husband, Xavier, own and manage the restaurant – voted Restaurant of the Year in 1999. Michelle is the elegant hostess, Xavier is the chef sans pareil. New World cuisine, the marriage of the freshest Caribbean ingredients with simple yet exquisite, French cooking methods is The Coal Pot's trademark. At lunch, a daily special is served alongside dishes like Greek and shrimp salads. Fresh, local fish prepared in a variety of excellent sauces is an ideal lunch choice. Dinner, with linen service, is a relaxed affair. Coquilles St. Jacques and smoked salmon add a continental flair to local delicacies, such as curried chicken served in a coconut shell. There is also a selection of fine wine. The Coal Pot's ambiance is as special as the cuisine. The walls of the wood and stone open-air structure are decorated with colorful Caribbean art. These acrylic and water designs are Michelle's imaginative creations. Just a few feet away from the dining tables, the waters of the Vigie marina lap against the coral stone beach. On full moon nights, tables are set under the stars. The Coal Pot is not only a food lover's delight but an intimate place to lunch and dine. An extension of The Coal Pot is the Café au Lait. Open for breakfast and all day for light meals, Café au Lait serves French pastries, ice creams and specialty coffees. Ferry service available from Pointe Seraphine.
During the last 20 years, Jacky Rioux, the restaurant's owner and chef, has travelled all over the world. His voyages have given him a great appreciation for indigenous ingredients and he has developed his own style of fusion cuisine that combines fresh ingredients with French cooking methods. Jacky Rioux specializes in fish and seafood (fishermen are always bringing him unusual delicacies) and he shops personally for fresh produce. The result is meals cooked to perfection. Colourful appetizers and entrées have "Eat Me" written all over them. Chef Rioux mixes his own spices and seasonings and, like most French chefs, he is a talented sauce maker. He also smokes his own meats. The restaurant's extensive wine list carries vintages from just about every wine-producing country in the world. The cocktail list contains old favourites and some seductive new concoctions. Cathy Rioux, the chef's wife, is the hostess at Froggie Jack's Gourmet Restaurant and the service is excellent. The restaurant is set in a tropical garden overlooking the Vigie Marina. Every evening the water is lit up to enhance the dinnertime ambiance. The lunch menu is a set selection written up on a blackboard. Dinner is à la carte and each dish is prepared to order. Popular selections include starters like octopus and conch in curried coconut sauce and main courses of boneless chicken breast stuffed with smoked salmon in a citrus butter sauce or oven baked kingfish with a white wine and sweet pepper sauce. Froggie Jack's Gourmet Restaurant is open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. Reservations are advised. Visa, MasterCard and American Express accepted.
The cuisine at Dasheene has been created by world-renowned Caribbean chef Orlando Satchel, who makes Ladera his winter home (in his absence, St. Lucian chef Nigel Mitchell runs things in the kitchen). Menus change every six months but the golden rule for Dasheene's cuisine is to combine St. Lucian ingredients with modern cooking styles. The restaurant, overlooking the Pitons, has one of the best views in St. Lucia. Lunch is an uncomplicated yet tasty menu with appetisers like Jazzy Ti-Zel (the manager's favourite) marinated chicken wings, a Cajun Caesar Salad and a selection of main courses. The dinner menu is described as "St. Lucia's Peak Experience." Appetisers start with lobster and seafood sausages and include the signature Dasheene Palm Tree salad. The main course menu makes decisions difficult. Choose from Shrimps Dasheene, a gold-medal winning dish, to "What the Fishmen Catch Today," all served with fresh vegetables. The desserts are positively delightful: Ladera Coco, a chocolate rum mousse served with coconut waffle, and Paw-paw Créme Brulée are just a couple of suggestions. There is also a menu du jour. Every Sunday, Dasheene throws a Sunday lunch party with a barbecue buffet and live music. Dinner reservations are requested. American Express accepted.

If you have not had the privilege of visiting the Green Parrot and St. Lucia's Chef Harry, then your taste buds have not yet been excited or tantalized by his heavenly delights. Chef Harry is world-renowned for his culinary expertise, backed by his 10 year cooking experience and professional training at the most exquisite and renowned Claridges Hotel in London.
