Are you currently in Antigua & Barbuda searching for the best places to eat while you are here? When you come to Antigua you will have multiple restaurant options, all offering a tropically delicious menu. I have complied my own personal favorite of top restaurants in Antigua & Barbuda. It was difficult to narrow down my list to my tops, but I have managed. Honestly I rate a good restaurant on the quality and the portions.
I’m not the biggest fan of the classiest restaurants- classy fancy restaurants usually offer small portions and I usually leave hungry.
90% of Antigua’s restaurants are located outside, so hopefully that doesn’t bother you. It is hard to recommend restaurants when everyone has different taste buds, but many places I have listed offer a mix of food that everyone should enjoy.
Food lovers rejoice and reunite and if you do happen to arrive to Antigua and try one of these restaurants please let me know!

Cloggys:
Cloggys is located in English Harbour, and is an outdoor restaurant with a view overlooking the Harbour and because it is on an elevated deck there is a constant breeze so you aren’t sweating from the heat while enjoying your meal.
This restaurant offers many food options, so if you are with a group that can’t agree what they all want, Cloggys would be your number one option.
My food recommendation is shawarma! It is fat, extra stuffed, saucy, and tasty chicken pita sandwich. My family is Middle Eastern and we make homemade shawarma sandwiches, and even we say it’s delicious.
Side note: Try the lime squash drink! If you love lime try it, and you can make it as sweet or sour as you want. Lime squash is my go to drink order, but not one restaurant makes it as delicious as Cloggys. It’s one of my favorite non alcoholic drinks on the island.
Make sure you venture out onto their docks and walk around while soaking up the sun and the sea breeze. If you happen to visit during Tourist season (November-April) you will see many yachts parked around the harbour, and for some reason the ocean and all the boats is very tranquil and resembles an image from most puzzles.
Before you make your way out of the Harbour, directly below Cloggys is a small cafe. I recommend buying a mango smoothie to go, and make your way back home with a delicious beverage in your hand.
Spices of India:
This is our takeout dinner every Saturday, and for a good reason. The staff are friendly, and if you love spicy I highly recommend Spice of India. Their naan is to die for and they offer many vegetarian options.
Their vegetarian dishes Bhindi Masala (Okra) and Channa Masala (chickpeas) have so much flavor its makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I particularly love their vegetable spicy hakka noodles and mushroom masala. If you don’t love extremely spicy food, you can enjoy their food with either mild, medium, or hot spice.
Order a little bit of everything on their menu, Indian food is best eaten shared with a combination of everything on your plate.
Al Porto:
Al Porto is a must if you love pizza with a breathtaking view. Their pizza is made fresh and cooked in a wood fire oven and it is absolutely delicious. It’s an Italian restaurant and they also offer pasta, but honestly the pasta is nothing special. I tried their pasta once and I much preferred the pizza.
They have about 10 different pizza options, and my husband and I have tried all of them and they are all delicious! Our favorite is their vegetarian with no spinach.
The pricing is affordable, and if you go on a Tuesday they have 2 for 1 pizza night! If you are looking for a restaurant on the water and great pizza this needs to be penciled in to your itinerary.
Cafe Bella:
This isn’t technically a restaurant, but I am adding it to my list because their sandwiches and coffee make it a perfect meal for lunch. Antigua’s cafes don’t offer any fancy flavored coffee like Starbucks would, most of the cafes here offer vanilla, hazelnut, or caramel.
Recently though Cafe Bella added white chocolate mocha to their menu along with a few other not so basic flavors…
so if your inner basic American girl is coming out and all you want is a delicious white chocolate mocha this is the place to go (literally it is your only option… trust me I have looked).
They offer sandwiches, soups, burgers, salads, and daily specials. If you go on a Tuesday their special is roti and it’s pretty damn delicious. If you are a traveler who enjoys trying local food, roti is one of Antigua’s specials.
Southpoint:
Go here for the sushi! It’s a little bit on the classier side and the restaurant is on a dock that overlooks the Falmouth Harbour marina. They have a lounge area, so if you want drinks (I recommend the mojito), a stunning view, and a comfy sitting area Southpoint is one of your best choices.
It is a beautiful and yummy option for dinner. It you are with a group that don’t enjoy sushi their menu also offers other options. Southpoint offers asian, mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisine. The pricing is a little bit on the spendier side, but it is worth it.
Their food is fresh, savory, and they have daily specials. If you go on a day when they are offering lobster salad, order it! I am not really a big fan of lobster, because I feel like lobster does not have much flavor and lacks spices, but this salad is so flavorful and tasty I am constantly craving it.
The sushi menu is not available for lunch, so if this is why you are going make sure you go between 6pm- 10pm. If you do decide to go to Southpoint do your research or just call them, because on some nights they have a live band playing. So you can enjoy your meal with some lovely soft music in the background.
Even if you are just looking for a cozy place to lime, while sipping yummy c
