This is a fairly comprehensive list of restaurants on St. Croix that cater to our visitors and locals alike. This is a non-commercial list. If any of the restaurants even know about it, it's because they found it on the web just like you did.. It's done purely as a service to visitors to St. Croix. It's updated often so if you're planning a trip to paradise, bookmark this page and check it a few days before you go.
Restaurants are grouped into three categories, that loosely fit their
pricing:
1. Fine Dining (My top six choices for the best on the island)
2. Midrange (Most restaurants fall into this category. In several you can still get
"fine dining" quality food)
3. Budget (Good food at a great price in a very casual atmosphere. There's not one
restaurant on this list that would make you wear shoes and only a couple that would
require a shirt.)
Within the groupings, this is the way the information is presented:
Name of Restaurant (Phone number)
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location

East End Road 1 mile east of Christiansted
Inspired by the home cooked Greek meals that Peter's (the owner) mother and
Yia-Yia (grandmother) prepared for him as a child. As with many Greek family
recipes nothing was written - instead they were handed down with a pinch of this
and a dash of that. Chef Aaron Matlofsky spent 6 months working with Peter to
recreate the childhood recipes that warmed his soul. The Pickled Greek's menu is
complete with favorites like dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), souvlaki,
authentic Greek gyros (pronounced "heroes"), and mousaka. Or enjoy one of Chef
Aaron's famous Greek pizzas - highly recommended
