Tortola: The Sugar Mill Hotel Restaurant
Best Restaurant in the Caribbean

A typical evening's selection might begin with Peanut Pumpkin Soup, Caribbean Country Pate, or Prosciutto and Mango with Mango Pepper Puree. Main courses that evening would offer a choice of Scallops in Puff Pastry with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Sugar Reef Spicy Chicken with Pineapple Salsa or Almond Crusted Lamb Loin with Spinach, Goat Cheese and Roasted Peppers. For the vegetarian diners, the restaurant has Black Bean Pancakes with Vegetable Salsa or perhaps Wild Mushrooms in puff pastry. You must wind up your evening with a dessert from the Sugar Mill's sinful selection.

Exotic drinks are served in the alfresco gazebo terrace bar which has a view of Jost Van Dyke and is a perfect place to sip a rum punch or pina colada while watching one of the North Shore's dazzling sunsets.

You'll find breakfast on the open terrace where the menu will tempt you with such dishes as the Beach Breakfast (a Caribbean combination of Black Beans, poached or fried eggs, creole sauce and fried plantains) or Mushroom Eggs with Green Onion Bearnaise Sauce, Rum French Toast, Plantation Pancakes or Pina Colada Pancakes.

Lunch is served at the beach restaurant at Islands the seaside restaurant. At midday you can feast on such dishes as Stamp and Go (salt fish fritters), Flying Fish Sandwiches, Jerked Baby Back Ribs, Crab Cakes, Garden Pita Sandwiches and, of course, Cheeseburgers in Paradise.

From January until late spring Islands is also opened for casual barefoot dinners on the beach. The evening menu features dishes from islands throughout the Caribbean such as Chicharrone de Pollo (Fried Chicken from the Spanish Islands), Crab Farci, Grilled Fish with Vegetable Jump Up, Rotis and Conch Fritters.
