Malliouhana's Fine Dining Restaurant

 
 

For decades, Malliouhana's restaurant set the pace for high-end cuisine in the Caribbean. The restaurant opened in 1984 under the two-starred Michelin chef, Michel Rostang. Chef Rostang brought an unprecedented level of French-Caribbean fusion to the region. If you wanted the best, you came to Malliouhana.

Today, that superior standard of cuisine has returned to Anguilla's Grand Dame.

Malliouhana's Fine Dining Restaurant

"Celeste by Kerth Gumbs," Malliouhana's signature restaurant sits high on its elegant perch, gazing out to Meads Bay. Its white and blue nautical color scheme remains, as it did when it was "The Restaurant at Malliouhana".

Meads Bay's waves lap gently below as its lights twinkle beyond. A most romantic dining scene is set. For the full Malliouhana experience, book a table for 6pm. You won't want to miss this magical sunset...

Dinner at Celeste by Kerth Gumbs

Dinner begins with Celeste's warm, accommodating and professional staff. They always make sure everyone is well taken care of.

Seating at Celeste by Kerth Gumbs

As you arrive, you are kindly escorted to your table on the terrace with a full view of Meads Bay and its stunning sunset.

To best settle in for a night of exquisite cuisine?

Begin with one of Malliouhana's signature cocktails.

The Under The Cabana is a Grey Goose lover's dream. Made with Grey Goose, Hendrick's gin, St. Germain, cucumber and black pepper, then finished with fresh lemon, it is a cool kiss on a warm day.

The Malli Rum Punch is a classic. A combination of Mount Gay Rum, coconut rum, Disaronno, pineapple and orange juice is topped with a Myers rum float.

Malliouhana Sunset Cocktails

Another top choice is the Soleil Mojito. Made with Bacardi white, fresh lime, stingy thyme and champagne, you cannot go wrong with this cocktail!

As you sip, warm house-made rolls and focaccia bread are placed before you.

Celeste's menu is tight. Inspired and thoroughly thought-through, Malliouhana's team focuses on conceptualizing and executing sophisticated dishes to perfection.

Appetizers include seared scallops with crispy bacon and warm vinaigrette, local pumpkin & coconut soup, charred cauliflower and a variety of salads. When it comes to starters, the lobster bisque is highly recommended.

Lobster Bisque

The creamy soup is loaded with chunks of lobster, topped with a drizzle of herb oil and served with a side of crispy shallots. This bisque is packed with flavor. You will want to lick the bowl clean!

Next from the starters...

Blackened Shrimps

Three big, tasty shrimps are blackened to perfection and served over a mix of green mango, pink grapefruit and cilantro, and topped with lime dressing.

We also can't get enough of the...

Conch Salad

A generous portion of shredded conch is flavored with peppers, jalapeño, fresh lime, cilantro, and served with toasty warm Johnny cakes. Each bite is refreshing delight!

Next are a selection of exceptional entrées.

Malliouhana's dinner menu features a juicy snapper fillet...

Pan Seared Red Snapper Fillet

The snapper fillet is cooked and prepared skin on. Crispy on the outside, soft and flakey on the inside, this fish is heavenly. It is served on a creole sauce, then garnished with fennel and lemon slaw.

For the pasta lovers...

Anguilla Lobster Linguine

Served in a photogenic seashell bowl, this dish is as delicious as it looks. Generous pieces of lobster are tossed in a chili, basil, garlic and tomato sauce to make a most refreshing and flavorful lobster linguine.

Another seafood option...

Charred Spanish Octopus

Perfectly charred octopus tentacle is served on a garlic puree, with roasted potatoes, tomato confit and a zesty chimichurri.

Sweet Endings at Celeste by Kerth Gumbs...

Finally, dinner at Malliouhana is not complete without a sweet treat and a digestif. With a plethora of extraordinary sweet treats on the menu, choosing "just one" is no easy task.

Chocolate Molten Cake & Warm Johnny Cake Donuts

For something shareable and fun, the sugar covered Johnny Cake Donuts are a "must." Dip them in the dark chocolate sauce or rum creme, or both!

If you have more space, the Warm Chocolate Cake has forever been a favorite. Served in a pistachio sauce with a scoop of raspberry sorbet, it is sure to impress all chocolate lovers!

Malliouhana's restaurant has always been a stylish and sumptuous setting. The property's new culinary team is the missing piece. The key ingredient. The magic touch. They surpass expectations at every turn.

It is safe to say, the original Malliouhana is back!

Brunch at Celeste by Kerth Gumbs

When the sun rises, Celeste delights all over again. Mornings here just may be the most scenic way to start your day in Anguilla.

The restaurant's three-level dining area offers stunning views of Meads Bay. Feast out on the terrace right by the sea, or sip your coffee inside, gazing out to infinite Meads Bay blue below.

Morning Inside Celeste by Kerth Gumbs

Celeste offers a buffet style breakfast with a wide selection of fruit, cereals and fluffy pastries. But, we recommend ordering à la carte. This is where brunch becomes one of kind.

To start the morning off, we had the cappuccino, beet booster made with beetroot juice, ginger, green apple, and lime, and the tropical smoothie with mango, banana, and pineapple.

For something a little stronger, the "Bloody Mali" combines citrus-infused rum with house-made Bloody Mary in a Caribbean spice-rimmed glass.

A favorite from the "Full On" section of the menu...

Saltfish on Johnny Cake

The filled Johnny Cakes or bagels are a must-try.

I could not help but choose the saltfish with fried egg, avocado, arugula, and a silky spicy mayo. This sandwich is packed of flavor!

You can also try the pulled oxtail topped with a fried egg, cheddar, and sweet peppers, or for a vegetarian option, enjoy the portobello mushroom with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and arugula. Each combination offers a unique burst of flavors.

Next, from the "Eggs Your Way."

The Omelette

Your choice of an omelette, scrambled eggs, or fried eggs. Each option comes with stewed saltfish, curried eggs and plantain toast.

Everything is made just the way you like it—simple and satisfying.

On the sweet side, the plantain French toast is irresistible.

Plantain French Toast

Topped with pineapple compote, whipped cream, and maple syrup. I absolutely LOVE this breakfast dish.

The banana bread, served with spiced cream and rolled oats, is another delightful option. Filled croissants, like the white chocolate matcha and pistachio crémeux, paired with strawberries, make for an indulgent treat, while buttermilk pancakes with passionfruit and soursop caramel bring a tropical twist to a classic.

We couldn’t resist adding a few tasty sides — crispy bacon, golden hash browns, and of course, a couple of those fluffy Johnny Cakes.
