Cecilia’s exudes island sophistication, yet the casual setting in a beautifully restored chattel house emits a relaxed atmosphere. From the pretty antique furnished verandah, guests are treated to fabulous ocean views beyond the picturesque white sandy beachfront. The freshly prepared bistro menu is as appealing as the location. Cecilia’s expert chef serves delicious temptations from shrimp & avocado salad, to fresh ravioli. Favourites include the fillet of salmon with a dill sauce, fresh red snapper & Swedish hash. Dessert is a must; choose from a wide range. The imaginative drinks list includes homemade lemongrass tea, Absolute Pear cider, an excellent old fashioned rum punch, plus a quality selection of wines, premium spirits and champagnes. The ultimate ‘barefoot chic’ venue, check-in here before you leave island. Just 2 mins from the airport with free WiFi internet, beach loungers and a shower to freshen up before you leave. What more could you ask for? Open Friday-Monday from 12:00pm for Lunch . Dinner Monday & Thursday evenings. Closed Tuesday & Wednesday.
Antiguan heritage site Fort James is home to the sympathetically renovated Russell’s Bar and Seafood Restaurant. Steeped in history, the fort dates back to the early 18th century, offering unrivalled views of the entry route to St. John’s Harbour. Be there with your camera as the sun sets. Russell Hodge whose untimely passing rocked the nation founded the restaurant, but his legacy lives on led by his charming daughters Gail & Danielle who continue to run this legendary establishment. Relaxed live music sessions, weekly and special events continue throughout the year including live Jazz weekends to entertain guests. On Saturdays enjoy a traditional local menu, (during the summer months accompanied by school steel bands). Indulge yourself in the Caribbean inspired seafood selection. Start with a bowl of freshly steamed cockles in white wine sauce and continue with the spiced whole red snapper or traditional Barbudan grilled lobster. By day or night, this is a most stunning venue. Russell’s can be booked for weddings and private events. Open: Wednesday-Sunday from 11:00am - 11:00pm
