Best Mid-Priced Anguilla Restaurants

On a sad September day in 2005, one of our favorite mid-priced restaurants in Anguilla and Le Bar, first discovered years beforehome to Anguilla's best burger at the time, said "Au Revoir."

Tears were shed as we thought of all the good memories affectionately. But we refused to wallow in our own misery for too long.

After all, Anguilla is loaded with excellent mid-priced restaurants. Surely one of them would have a burger to die for.

The hunt for the next best Anguilla burger was on!

But which Anguilla restaurants to try?

We searched high, we searched low. We surveyed people living on Anguilla. The recurring advice?

"Try Ferry Boat Inn. Theirs is unbeatable."

Maybe. But could they come close to Didier's fine, herb-stuffed, 12-ounce burger? Being professionals on a critical mission, we couldn't get sentimental. Off we went!

We made our way down to Blowing Point village, past the colorful, Caribbean school, past the local grocery shop, and took a right just before reaching Anguilla Ferry, down Cul-De-Sac.

Soon we saw the rustic sign...

The Ferry Boat Inn

Car doors slammed behind us, as we gazed out at the picturesque little restaurant perched right on Blowing Point beach.

Visually, this place was already ahead of the game.

Magnificent view of St. Martin.

Gentle turquoise seas and rhythmic lapping waves.

Literally right on the beach, Ferryboat is your prototypical beach bar/restaurant.

Ten out of ten for location and funkyy, friendly vibe.

We took a seat right by the edge of the deck, enjoying the trades and the sun.

We waited for our friend Claire Devener to join us.

We pretended to examine the menu. But who were we kidding?

We were not here for the dolphin sandwich.

Our stomachs were not craving the snapper salad, as tasty as it sounded.

We were on a mission. Burgers!

As our waitress brought us two diet Cokes, a Carib and a rum punch (guess who!), Claire made her entrance. "Make that two rum punches," she announced.

"Claire!"

Would she miss out on the potential-next-best-burger on Anguilla? Never!

She skipped the menu-scan, and we all cut straight to ordering 5 big, juicy burgers.

We chat and drank and chat and drank.

And then, suddenly, the moment of truth had arrived...

Five sensational-looking hamburgers lay before us.

The Ferry Boat Burger

The moment my teeth sank into the burger, I knew. My sister knew. My Mom knew. My Dad knew.

This was our new #1 burger in Anguilla.

It was charbroiled to perfection, with lettuce, tomatoes and onion, all on a fluffy, white bun.

You want bacon? They'll put it on there! Just ask.

All served up with tasty fries, something we always missed at Le Bar.

Le Bar will always hold a special place in my heart. It's not every day you find a burger seasoned by a french cook with fine herbs.

The Ferry Boat Inn, though, is definitely our new burger champ among Anguilla restaurants.
