Cheap Anguilla Restaurants

 
 

Anguilla is a sensational, but expensive, paradise... definitely one of the most expensive of all the Caribbean islands. And Anguilla restaurants are no exception.

Most tourists only ever experience the expensive (and truly gourmet) Anguilla restaurants. However, there are many alternatives, if you search a bit, and if you're just a touch adventurous. Your rewards will be great eating... and money left over to spend on other fun activities.

Lime Keel House serves up mouthwatering seafood & sweet vibes!

We've found many cheap-but-delicious Anguilla restaurants on our adventures, from restaurants, to BBQ stands, to food trucks, to Anguilla beach bars and Anguilla beach restaurants.

Here's a great-tasting grill
on Sandy Ground.

To eat really cheaply, generally, find the places that folks who live here themselves eat at, such as local weekend BBQ's

Places like Ken's Pork and B&D's, as well as just about any BBQ that springs up in front of a house on the weekend, will be super.

Just make sure there's a crowd there!

B&D's, which is on the road east of Malliouhana, has absolutely delicious ribs -- we picked them clean.

Another local favorite is the Roti Hut...

Roti Hut (2002)

Roti is a Caribbean food favorite... (Trinidad origin).

But this was the only of all the Anguilla restaurants that specialize in roti.

It's delicious -- and you can't beat the price.

Ask for their conch roti, it's not on the menu, but it is out of this world.

Roti Hut Today

Whenever I leave Anguilla, roti is one of the foods I miss most!

Roti Hut is open from 10am daily and is located across the street from its previous location (see 2002 photo).

Arawak Beach Inn: One of our favorite tasty, affordable restaurants is the Arawak Beach Inn.

Digging in at the Arawak
for the second time back in 2002!
anguilla restaurants arawak

This restaurant is part of the Arawak Beach Inn, which is run by a wonderful, fun English couple, who long ago escaped the grey skies of England.

Believe it or not, as crazy it may sound, these "non-Italians" serve pretty tasty pizza, one of the best in Anguilla.

As you might expect, their British dishes are delicious, too. Their dessert is one of our favorites... don't miss the Banoffee Pie!

Who would have thought that you would find mouth-watering pizza here, in Anguilla, by "Brits"? During our entire month stay in 2002, it's the only restaurant we visited twice!

Welcome to Arawak Beach Inn

Oh-So-Good and Cheesy!
arawak pizza today

Years after our first bite into Arawak's pizza and today?

The charming inn still has the goods!

Crispy, cheesy and sizzling-hot Arawak's pizza is still a go-to.

For a fraction of the price of most pizzas in Anguilla, it's a steal of a meal deal.

Even though the Arawak is pretty out-of-the way (tucked off in charming little Island Harbor), I would still count it as a "tourist Anguilla restaurant." Which makes the low price even more amazing!

 

 

Kenny's BBQ Fresh conch soup, garlic bread, ribs, chicken, all under the stars on Sandy Ground, Kenny's BBQ is loved by all, and, since he's open late, most often enjoyed after a night partying at Pumphouse and Elvis'.

Pumphouse: The Best Anguilla Bar for Anguilla Nightlife Reviewing beach bars for their nightlife value, certainly isn't my area of expertise. There is no doubt though, that this Anguilla bar is a special spot! The beers are cheap, but food prices run a little higher than a "cheap" restaurant.

Christobelle's Canteen: True Caribbean Cuisine We've had pizza, seafood, steak and even roti on Anguilla, but never tried authentic Caribbean cuisine... that is, until now!

Nico's We discovered Nico's, a fantastic restaurant right near the airport, literally two hours before we left Anguilla. What a lucky find! They had the great sandwiches and hamburgers, as well as an interesting-looking goat stew (not that any of us was brave enough to try it!).

Too bad we didn't get a chance to make a return visit. Their breakfast is supposed to be excellent... and very reasonably priced! It's hard to find good, cheap breakfast in Anguilla, so we'll be trying it next time back. Since our first visit, I've had several excellent reports about Nico. The final verdict is "great and cheap." And the goat was highly mentioned twice.

Fish Shack & Grill An impressive smokehouse home to unique flavors and some of the best beef ribs and most flavorful chicken we've ever tried!

Natural Mystic Set in The Valley, if you are in the mood for local food and a beer, stop in at this colorfully colored spot.

Sugar and Spice Bakery and Bistro Serving up sweet and savory treats (including local specialties like shark sandwiches from time to time!) for breakfast and lunch, this spot is affordable and convenient. Don't miss their fresh fruit smoothies and juices.

On Da Rocks: A Cool Hang-Out With a View From their large, roof-top terrace that offers endless views of picturesque Island Harbour, to the freshest fish, lobster and crayfish on the island, On Da Rocks has so much to offer. Don't miss their Saturday Special! Note: While their "Saturday Special" is inexpensive, their regular menu has middle-of-the-road prices.

Faustina's Kitchen Specializing in convenient, affordable and seriously delicious smoked BBQ.

"A" Burger... A Premium Burger Joint "A" Burger is Anguilla's only burger joint. Posing serious competition to our favorite island burgers, "A" Burger is a cut above the rest when it comes to quality ingredients, preparation, and a passionate mission and love for Anguilla.
