I went to a lot of restaurants in St Kitts, I tried plate after plate of the Kittitian food and so I think I’m well placed to advise where you should be spending your dollars, and calories.

Food in St Kitts is all about fish, seafood, rice and beans. Great for me – I love the whole ‘fresh out of the ocean’ Caribbean vibe. With a week of scoffing my way round the island to choose from, here are the best places to eat in St Kitts, with a suggestion of what to eat there too.

1. Ceviche at Arthur’s

When the ‘ceviche’ arrived, I was disappointed, I’m not going to lie. This Kittitian ceviche looked very unlike the traditional ceviche I was after. It was made from the local delicacy, Conch, which I thought I’d try for holiday’s sake.

With the perfect setting on the beach, looking out to the ocean, I could tell it was as fresh as it could possibly be, totally flipping my initial disappointment on its head.

How about this place for fantastic suggestion of where to eat in St Kitts, hey? Niiiiice!

Shame about the weather on the day we visited, but hey ho.

While we were at Arthur’s a local fisherman arrived with a wheelbarrow full of fresh lobster and fish, proving just how ‘ocean to table’ the seafood in St Kitts actually is.

You don’t get that in England!

2. Go Vegan at Ital Creations

We took a much needed break from the indulgence of rum and lobster with a vegan meal at Ital Creations.

It’s kind of like a road side cafe, mixed with a pop up street food place, combined with a super eco-friendly / sustainable / farm to table/ vegan farm.
