Local Tips
Visit Blanchard's during their 'locals night' on Wednesdays when they offer a more casual atmosphere and sometimes feature special Caribbean dishes not on the regular menu. The crowd is smaller and you'll get a more authentic island dining experience.
Ask about their 'fisherman's catch' option - when local fishermen bring in fresh catch that day, Blanchard's will often prepare it at a lower price than their regular fish entrees. It's not advertised but available when fresh local fish is delivered.

Local Tips
Visit during lunch hours (12-3pm) for the same exceptional cuisine at significantly lower prices - Chef Kerth offers many of his signature dishes on a more casual lunch menu that locals prefer over the pricier dinner service.
Make reservations directly by calling rather than using online platforms - Chef Kerth personally takes calls in the afternoon and often shares details about special preparations or seasonal ingredients he's featuring that evening, plus locals know he sometimes accommodates dietary restrictions better when you speak with him directly.

Global Fusion, Caribbean
Sandy Ground, Anguilla
Must Try: Secret garden in treetops with lush hillside setting. Bold globally-inspired cuisine from Africa, Asia, Caribbean. Lantern-lit deck sets mood for magical night.
Breakfast

Dinner
Local Tips
Visit Veya during the weekly local night (usually Thursday) when they offer special Caribbean fusion dishes not on the regular menu and locals get priority seating - arrive before 6:30 PM to avoid the rush.
Ask your server about the 'chef's market catch' which isn't listed on the menu - it's typically the freshest fish of the day prepared with locally foraged ingredients, and it's often priced better than the regular seafood entrees.

Local Tips
Visit on Wednesday evenings for their weekly rum tasting event - it's not heavily advertised but locals know it's the best night for authentic Caribbean spirits education and the restaurant is less crowded than weekend nights.
Ask about the 'local lunch' - it's not on the tourist menu but they offer a simplified Caribbean plate with the catch of the day, rice and peas, and plantains for about half the price of dinner entrees, available weekdays before 3pm.

Blanchard's Beach Shack
Casual Caribbean
Meads Bay, Anguilla
Must Try: Best family-friendly restaurant. Crave-worthy toes-in-the-sand casual fare: fish tacos, hot dogs, seafood. Relaxed beach atmosphere at Meads Bay.
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Local Tips
Visit Blanchard's Beach Shack on weekday afternoons around 3-4 PM when the lunch crowd has cleared but before dinner service begins. You'll have better beach chair selection and more attentive service, plus the lighting is perfect for photos of both your food and the turquoise water.
Skip the expensive imported wines on the menu and ask for their local rum punch or the bartender's special rum cocktail made with locally distilled spirits. It's half the price of wine, pairs better with the Caribbean cuisine, and the bartenders take pride in their rum knowledge.
