A few steps from Tranquility Beach Anguilla lies the renowned Jacala...
Jacala on Meads Bay: A Taste of Elegance by the SeaWhen it comes to "top Anguilla dining," Jacala is one restaurant that makes everyone's list. And by everyone, I mean everyone. The jetset, the yacht crowd, the "regulars." Even Martha Stewart declared Jacala her "favorite" in all of the Caribbean. A routine so well-established, afternoons at Jacala begin with a couple of cocktails and our menu favorites.
To eat, we had the Wakame-Marinated Tuna Carpaccio — a delicate blend of flavors, the perfectly cooked Black Angus Sirloin Steak, and the iconic Lobster Club Sandwich, bursting with fresh, rich flavors.
Jacala combines exquisite cuisine with the laid-back luxury of Anguilla, making it a must-visit for food lovers. Whether you're celebrating or simply indulging, Jacala elevates your Meads Bay escape.

BEST Lobster Johnny Cake Sandwich at Palm GroveOh, Palm Grove... where to even begin? Our love affair with this sandy beach shack runs deep. Set on quiet Junk's Hole, Nat's building takes full advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds it. The cooling sea breeze unapologetically enters through open windows.
These windows display the beach picture-perfectly, as though it’s an actual painting of a tropical paradise.
Palm Grove is known for its famous Johnny cakes. One of the best Johnny cakes on island, it's hard to not smile when you're about to bite into a Palm Grove Johnny cake! How to make Johnny Cakes even better? Add chicken, shrimp, fish or our favorite - the fresh lobster...
This juicy sandwich is served with two sides of your choosing. We love to pair with coleslaw and fries. Another lobster favorite? The lobster salad...
You can also choose to top a salad with chicken, fish or shrimp. Wash it all down with a classic rum punch, Ethne makes a real tasty one! At the end of a long, dusty road, Palm Grove's location is dreamy. On the ever quiet and tranquil Junk's Hole (with no other buildings on the beach and no electricity!), Palm Grove restaurant is something out of an old travel novel. A little ramshackle of a bar serving terrific locally caught seafood and mean rum punches, and owned by the most inviting Anguillian family, it wins on all levels.
The quintessential Anguilla beach bar experience, if you haven’t been to Nat’s, you haven’t been to Anguilla 😉 Click here for a full read on Palm Grove. Call ahead to reserve crayfish: 264-235-6528 Palm Grove is an Anguilla Card Partner. Save 10% at Palm Grove when you use your Anguilla Card.
