What people are saying about Blanchard’s

"This is the top on the island. Set in a pretty, floodlit garden in Meads Bay within earshot of the breaking waves, where you dine in a delightful room . . . outside under the eaves. The cuisine gathers influences from around the world to make an eclectic and thoroughly satisfying mix . . . all beautifully presented and delicious. Very elegant. Reserve in advance (people actually fax their reservations down to the island ahead of time.) Excellent wine list."

— James Henderson, Cadogan Guide to the Caribbean

Note: James Henderson is also the author and editor of The Definitive Caribbean Travel Guide.

“Perfectly blending sophistication with island charm, the intimate, candlelit dining room looks out over greenery to the sea beyond. Offerings on the ever-evolving menu include chili-crusted sea scallop salad, gumbo ya-ya soup, lemon-glazed lobster dumplings, and seafood imaginatively prepared with local fruits and vegetables. The homemade cinnamon ice cream with peaches or mangoes is mouth-watering."

— Birnbaum’s Caribbean

“Bob and Melinda Blanchard are the masterminds behind this elegantly casual, intensely fashionable restaurant on a garden-swathed pavilion beside the sea . . .The cuisine is among the most creative and interesting on the island, and they’ve attracted a sprinkling of celebs..."

. . . you’ll enjoy sophisticated food with a Caribbean flair, enhanced with spices from Spain, Asia, California, and the American Southwest. Dishes change according to the inspiration of chef Melinda but are likely to include . . . swordfish stuffed with toasted corn dressing and a jerk Jamaica-style chicken, with bananas grilled with molasses and rum.”
