"Dasheene, the restaurant in the award-winning Ladera Resort, is a magical place unlikeany other on the island. The open dining room, overlookingthe sea, isso close tothe Pitons that you feel as if you could reach out and touch the peaks. The menu, which focuses oningredients sourced from local farms and plantations, putsa creative spin on classic St. Lucian cuisine, including plantain gratin with a coconut rum sauce, androast conch. The restaurantis open for breakfast and lunch as well, but there's no beating the romantic atmosphere and sunset views at dinner, which make a meal herewell worth the high price."
