Lobster BBQ at C Level: NEW YouTube Video

Aurora has established itself as a Caribbean culinary destination.

Their restaurants are among the island's best. Time and time again, Aurora's talented team of chefs prove that passion prevails as they re-define and set new standards for the entire region.

This holds true for Aurora's signature, weekly culinary event, Lobster BBQ🤗💗



Held every Thursday night, it has long been hailed as one of Anguilla's top weekly events. The value is unbeatable. $85 buys unlimited BBQ lobster and crayfish with a plethora of gourmet mains and side dishes.

All served in an elegant beachfront atmosphere, it is as far as you can get from typical "all you can eat" resort buffets.



Right on the sands of Rendezvous Bay, Aurora's C Level is transformed into a gourmet food festival.

Dining tables and chairs are elegantly set on the beach. The BBQ's various "stations" sprawl out on C Level's terrace, adjacent to the bar.

The welcoming staff seats you at your table, and then? Check your diet at the door. It's time to take a big bite of Lobster BBQ!



"Lobster" receives top billing for this evening. But, it has a terrific supporting cast. This is much more than "just" a Lobster BBQ.

Your eyes will pop at the enormous plate of paella, loaded with seafood. Perfectly crisp and full of flavor, the paella will have you coming back for more.

It's best enjoyed with Aurora's five-star sides like rice & peas, roasted veggies, roasted corn, and creamy mac & cheese.

What a way to kick off Lobster BBQ! Now, time for the main event...



Billowing with sweet-charcoal smoke, one look at the grills and you swear Aurora has hundreds of beautiful Anguillian spiny lobsters on hand. They certainly never run out!

Spiny lobsters and crayfish are grilled to perfection. The lobster meat itself is moist and smoothly separates from the shell. The butter will just about have you licking your plate clean.

When your plate is polished? It's time to go back and do it all over again!

Reveling in the glow of post-dinner perfection, it is absolutely impossible to not completely overdo it and make at least two visits to the dessert station.



The Crêpes Suzette goes down as best-in-Anguilla. Buttery-soft crêpes are topped with a dollop of ice cream. This is the stuff of dreams.

Lobster BBQ is high value. The extraordinary quality of food, excellent and attentive table service and flow of the entire evening is a sheer delight.



Longstanding "must-do's" often disappoint. But, Aurora Anguilla raises yet another bar a level higher. Lobster BBQ really is a must!

Seaside Lunch at Tropical Sunset

Tucked away on the quiet side of the beach, Tropical Sunset is a top choice for a peaceful day on Shoal Bay East. Here among the sea grape trees, serenity rules supreme.



For the quietest, calmest experience on Shoal Bay East? Tropical Sunset delivers.

A laidback, little beach restaurant, Tropical Sunset has a front row view of Shoal Bay's impressive stretch of sand and blue waters.

For a vivid sea view, take a front row table. No matter where you sit, though, Tropical Sunset's casual, relaxed feel sinks right in and that ideal location on Shoal Bay is always in view.



Start your afternoon with the popular strawberry daiquiri! Thick in consistency, it's rich in very berry flavor!



Not only does Tropical Sunset tout a desirable location, set apart from the other businesses, they also serve good food.

The menu has a variety of options, from salads and sandwiches (including a hamburger and fish sandwich) to combos (ribs and chicken), to a grilled fish entree and lobster.

One of our favorites? The cheeseburger!



The perfect beach meal, we are always in the mood for a Tropical Sunset burger. Melted cheese and grilled onions with sliced lettuce, tomato and pickles top the beef patty and fluffy bun.

After lunch, its time to beach!

It's a relaxing way to spend your afternoon... dine on terrific seafood, indulge in a post-food nap in the shade of your umbrella or the shade of a sea grape tree, then cool off in Shoal Bay blue.

How does it get better than that?
