Blue Bar...
Tranquil, Trendy Dining With A Bayside View

 
 

Perched high above beautiful Crocus Bay at CéBlue Luxury Villas, Blue Bar pairs relaxed, stylish dining with one of Anguilla's most beautiful views.

Aptly named, you are indeed immersed in "tranquility wrapped in blue" at Blue Bar.

Just steps from CéBlue's open-air front desk, Blue Bar's panoramas draw you in from the moment you step foot onto the property.

With its white walls, long stone bar with wood accents and potted desert-style plants, the atmosphere at Blue Bar is distinctly modern and high-end, yet unpretentious and inviting.

Locally, Blue Bar has long been a hot-spot, known for serving some of the best pizza on the island.

The open-air dining room at Blue Bar

Crocus Bay is pure magic at dusk. As the sun sets and twilight appears, you are treated to a sky filled with a kaleidoscope of colors from flaming oranges to soft magentas to violets.

Sunset over Crocus Bay

The show isn't over when the sun sets... stars twinkle in the indigo sky only adding to the enchanting ambiance of the evening.

The dining space itself has a relaxed feel with comfy-chic chairs and tables facing the ocean. Because Blue Bar is open air, every seat has a view.

And, we all know that taking in that view is best enjoyed with a specialty Blue Bar cocktail! ;-)

So let's settle in for dinner.

An Evening at Blue Bar

A beautiful location can certainly draw you in, but it is the people who create the experience.

It was great getting to meet the team and seeing the energy they are bringing to Blue Bar.

With introductions made, it was time to settle in and start the evening!

We tried three very different drinks: an Aperol Spritz, a shaken Classic Daiquiri and a Paloma with a special dash of Ting.

Cocktails at Blue Bar

The Aperol Spritz was crisp and refreshing, the shaken Classic Daiquiri was simple and perfectly balanced, but the Paloma was the table favorite. That little splash of Ting gave it a distinctly Caribbean twist.

With cocktails in hand, we were off to a pretty good start.

Next came our Caprese salad.

Caprese Salad at Blue Bar

Fresh sliced mozzarella and tomato, finished with a drizzle of homemade pesto and balsamic vinegar, make for one of the simplest combinations on any menu. But, when the ingredients are fresh, it is hard to beat.

Light and refreshing, it was a perfect way to begin the meal.

Next up? Pizza!

We ordered the pepperoni pizza, finished with crushed black pepper and a brushing of olive oil on the crust.

Pepperoni Pizza with Crushed Black Pepper

Hot, cheesy and satisfying, it had a nicely crisp crust and plenty of flavor from the pepperoni. The crushed black pepper gave it an extra little kick.

Prepared in Blue Bar's open kitchen and baked in their large brick oven, pizzas come out hot and ready to eat. Sitting just feet away from the oven, there's no time for them to go cold!

First bite of a Blue Bar pizza pie? Just right, with savory toppings and a thin, crisp crust.

And, of course, when you're dining in Anguilla, it is always nice to see fresh local seafood on the menu.

For our main course, we tried the snapper fillet, served in a lemon butter sauce with potatoes and grilled vegetables.

Fresh Snapper in Lemon Butter Sauce

The fish was beautifully prepared, with the lemon butter sauce adding richness without overpowering the delicate flavor of the snapper.

This dish is a good reminder that while Blue Bar may always have a special connection with pizza, there is plenty more to explore on the menu.

The setting is as beautiful as ever. The sea views are breathtaking, and Blue Bar is a wonderful place to sit back, order something delicious and enjoy an evening above Crocus Bay.
