Our hotel of choice in Anguilla is the Viceroy - a beautiful resort perched between Meads and Barnes Bays, at the western tip of the island. I like the Viceroy's luxury and newness; when I’m on vacation, I want a room that really feels like a getaway. At the Viceroy, the bed is comfortable, ... continue reading...
Spaghetti alla carbonara
If left to my own devices, I think I'd eat pasta almost every day - not terribly healthy, but oh so delicious. Spaghetti alla carbonara is probably the poster child for unhealthy-but-delicious, since it's basically just pasta tossed with eggs, lots of Parmesan cheese, and a bit of ... continue reading...
Blanchard’s, Anguilla
Blanchard's is the grande dame of Anguilla fine dining - practically a lifestyle empire, with cookbooks and life coaching books, a new 'beach shack' cafe, and of course the flagship restaurant. It might not be the most exciting restaurant on the island, but Blanchard's delivers a ... continue reading...
Trattoria Tramonto, Anguilla
OK, we've taken a bit of a break from my Anguilla reporting, but there are so many wonderful restaurants there that I still have a few more places to write about. So without further ado, I give you Trattoria Tramonto. As fresh and good as the seafood is in Anguilla, sometimes I simply must ... continue reading...
Hasselback potatoes for NYE. Happy 2012!
I've been traveling around to see my family over the holidays, which means good home cooking and fun meals. For our New Year's Eve dinner, we had a roasted beef tenderloin, big soft rolls, lots of vegetables, and two utterly fabulous desserts - my mother's lemon meringue pie and my aunt's chocolate ... continue reading...
Koal Keel and Le Petit Patissier, Anguilla
Just a bit outside The Valley (the closest Anguilla has to a downtown area), there's a lovely old wooden building that dates from the late 1700s. Known as Warden's Place, it was once a sugar plantation great house, but is now the Koal Keel restaurant and Le Petit Patissier bakery. Le Petit ... continue reading...
Jacala, Anguilla
If I had to pick a favorite restaurant in all of Anguilla, it may well be Jacala. At night, it's relaxed yet sophisticated in the spacious and airy dining room; at lunch, it feels like we're dining right on the beach, with a blindingly beautiful view of Meads Bay spread in front of us. We ... continue reading...
Rainy day lunch at Hibernia, Anguilla
We had a few days of rainy weather during our trip, so what better to do than take a drive around the island and enjoy a late lunch? Anguilla is just over fifteen miles long, and easy to navigate... at least once you get past the disconcerting combination of American-style right hand drive ... continue reading...
Ribs on Sandy Island, Anguilla
Paint a picture in your mind of the perfect deserted island, with white sand and a smattering of palm trees, and maybe even a little beach shack that serves barbecued ribs and cold drinks. Now look at Sandy Island - is it better than you imagined? For me, the answer is definitely ... continue reading...
