Authentic Caribbean Dining at LaVista Antigua

Discover the Flavours of the Caribbean

For many travellers, experiencing local food is an essential part of discovering a destination. Caribbean cuisine offers a taste of the region’s culture, traditions and locally grown ingredients, bringing together distinctive herbs, spices and cooking methods passed down through generations.

Authentic Caribbean Dining is available at an additional cost, with meals offered for purchase on selected days. Guests will be advised of the day’s dish and price each morning, allowing them to choose.

At LaVista Antigua, our Authentic Caribbean Dining service gives guests the opportunity to sample traditional Caribbean dishes during their stay.

Meals are freshly prepared on site on most weekdays, often where guests can see the cooking taking place. Using locally grown herbs, spices and other ingredients wherever possible, we offer a different dish on selected days, showcasing some of the flavours enjoyed throughout Antigua and the wider Caribbean.

Our dishes are prepared using traditional Caribbean cooking methods, with recipes and seasonings that may vary between islands and individual cooks. Each dish reflects the distinctive flavours of the region, using local herbs, spices and ingredients wherever possible.

Cooking takes place on site, often outdoors where guests can observe the preparation and enjoy the experience of Caribbean cooking. Depending on weather conditions and practical arrangements, cooking may take place where it cannot be viewed by guests

How Authentic Caribbean Dining Works

Depending on the day’s arrangements, guests can join us for relaxed waterfront dining or have their meal delivered to their suite. Meals can also be ordered to enjoy later in the day, making it easy to fit dining around your own plans. The meal varies each day, with a dish selected from a range of Caribbean favourites.

Our dining service is available on selected days, usually on most weekdays, rather than every day. When available, guests are advised of the dish being prepared that day and can decide whether or not they want to enjoy the fare on offer that day.

Simply let us know if you would like a meal and whether you prefer to dine by the waterfront or have it delivered to your suite.

Availability depends on seasonal produce, local ingredients and the day’s arrangements. Cooking is usually carried out on-site where guests can observe, although weather and other practical considerations may affect this.

Combined with the welcome breakfast provisions supplied to guests who book directly with us, Our Authentic Caribbean Dining offers another way to enjoy the comfort and privacy of your waterfront suite while sampling local flavours during your stay.

Whether you choose to dine beside the water or relax on your own balcony, it is an opportunity to experience a little more of Caribbean food and culture at LaVista Antigua.
