Cacao inspired cuisine featuring local produce at Rabot restaurant at Hotel Chocolat

Enjoying delicious Caribbean food in a beautiful tropical setting is one of the joys of a vacation on St Lucia. While our inhouse Private Dining menu receives rave reviews from guests, venturing out to a Lucian restaurant around Soufrière extends your vacation experience.

Cosmos has a variety of excellent restaurants within a short drive. Based on our experience and guests feedback, we’re highlighting some of the favourites for you to explore.

Dine on top of the world at Dasheene

Dasheene
Based in Ladera Resort, the original stylish boutique hotel famed for staggering close-up views onto the Petit Piton, Dasheene is a special spot to enjoy the view accompanied by excellent live music in the evenings. The cooking is also fantastic; our tip is to catch the excellent Sunday brunch buffet, starting with a welcome drink before getting intimate with an array of local curries and a to-die-for dessert spread. Medium expensive.

Trou au Diable and Jungle Grill Beach Restaurants
Grab a casual lunch or a more formal dinner on the beach at Anse Chastanet.  The Trou au Diable features an innovative fusion of modern East Indian and Caribbean cooking in the evenings, and lighter fare at lunch.  Wander down to Anse Mamin and sit under the palms at the Jungle Grill where you can sip chilled gazpacho and tuck into ceviche, salads and flame grilled burgers

Artful cacao inspired cuisine at Rabot restaurant

Rabot restaurant at Hotel Chocolat
Located at the Hotel Chocolate on the Rabot Estate, this restaurant offers innovative cooking in a modern environment looking out on to the Petit Piton. The menu specialises in exploring both the sweet and savory nature of their estate grown cacao, using superb local produce. The freshly-made warm chocolate churning in the restaurant is an olfactory and taste sensation not to be missed. Moderately expensive.

Harmony Beach Restaurant and Bar
Situated at Paradise Beach at the foot of the Petit Piton, this casual local serves-up excellent frozen cocktails and Indo-Caribbean favorites, such as their fish curry served in a lentil “roti” wrap.

Bonté Restaurant and Jalousie Grill
Set on the warm white sand at Sugar Beach, enjoy shrimp tacos, tuna poke bowls, and wood-fired pizzas with ingredients from local fishermen and farmers. Butcher cuts are cooked to perfection on the Argentinian grill.

Succulent seafood served up at Pavilion restaurant

Pavilion
The Pavilion restaurant at Caille Blanc Villa and Hotel is the closest to Cosmos and shares our stunning views, so has the potential to be a handy local. Moderately expensive.

If this doesn’t whet your appetite we don’t know what will! We hope this blog post gives you inspiration and hunger to enjoy St Lucia’s restaurants as part of your vacation experience.
