Alfonso’s Restaurant

Well-known spots are generally popular for good reason. But, here in Anguilla, there are spots that are equally delicious, just a little more unknown. All it takes is a bit of searching, a keen eye and an adventurous spirit to find them!

This week we had the chance to eat at Caribbean Restaurant, a simple restaurant tucked away on the quiet backroad on the western side of the island. Seeking something new, Nori, our new intern, Kyiv, and I set out for a fun lunch outing.

From the outside Caribbean Restaurant may not give off a very welcoming vibe. There are still hurricane shutters on some of the windows and there’s a certain stillness that surrounds the restaurant that makes it seem a tad vacant. But don’t let that put you off. That vibe is only what’s on the outside.

Inside, however, the mood brightens up with shades of yellow, green and beige against darker earthy tones.

The colors create a lively atmosphere, without being too vibrant on the eyes. The vibe sets a nice tone for a casual afternoon lunch.

We were shown to our seats and were given the menu promptly.

Caribbean Restaurant has a number of reasonably priced selections on their menu. The lunch entrees include soup, pastas, light salads, burgers and even sandwiches.

We put in our orders, all opting for Caribbean classics. Our kind waitress returned with toasted rolls. Freshly baked, they were melt-in-your-mouth yummy.
