"Chef Orlando Satchell used to head the kitchen at one of St. Lucia's finest resorts before opening his own restaurant and bar on the island's west coast. A cozy, no-frills setting lets multi-course menus packed with sustainably sourced ingredients and Caribbean flavors shine." - Carley Rojas Avila

"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."

We had the pleasure of dining at Orlando's tonight in Soufriere, St Lucia. I have to say that the experience and the food were beyond amazing and we really enjoyed our evening. The dishes were creative, masterfully put together, and were elegant but also a great representation of the culture and the tastes of the area. Orlando himself is one of those people that you can tell is genuinely sincere, friendly, and loves what he does and everyone around him. We couldn't have felt more welcome and will be back. Thank you Orlando for the experience and the nice evening. Ko

We stopped here after a long day. It was getting close to this establishments closing time, but the sign out front said to knock. We are happy we did. They obviously had a slow night, but the owner Orlando offered to make us some to go boxes. While we waited for those, he sat us at the bar with Chris, where we had some very good conversations and libations. Twenty minutes later, we were back at our apartment with one of the best meals we have had on the island. Try not to be like us and show up to close to closing time. We will be retuirng tonight to get the full experience. But this was hands down one of the friendliest places we had the pleasure of stopping at.

This is the best restaurant in St. Lucia. Criteria: unparalleled innovation of exclusively local ingredients; perfection of every bite; complexity of layered flavors; elegance of presentation; range and beauty of Chef's talent. Orlando is an absolute master and it's a privilege to eat his creations. His "Ingredients without Passports" approach to fine dining presents a nightly tasting menu that never fails to amaze. Eve at the front of house is superb at pampering guests and ensuring each person's comfort is attended. The art and music of this beautifully presented restaurant makes every table feel exclusive, intimate. Chef truly thought of every detail, including locally carved custom purse holders. If you have one meal to eat in St. Lucia, eat it here. I've brought many well-traveled guests for dinner - my son's a chef - and all agree Orlando's should be on Michelin radar if it isn't already.

Amazing l 5 course tasting menu dinner with my family / party of 6. The food was incredible. The rib on the bone was one of the best I ever had, as was the pumpkin/ carrot soup. We also had amazing risotto with king fish, chocolate brûlée (to die for), salad, a couple of complimentary snacks, and coconut pie!
Orlando came over to our table to say hi and explain some dishes. We are tourists on vacation, but we would recommend this special restaurant to anyone. The staff was incredibly accommodating to dietary restrictions at our table as well.

I stumbled upon Orlando’s the first night that I arrived on St. Lucia not knowing what an incredible gem it is. I was greeted by the chef and owner, himself, and told that he would try to accommodate me although I did not have a reservation (and this was on a Friday after Valentine’s Day). Throughout the evening, I learned Orlando’s award-winning history in the culinary world and had the pleasure of enjoying a multi-course delectable cuisine. Made with love for all of his guests. There is a slogan at the entrance that embodies his establishment. You truly leave as friends. This dining experience is not to be missed. Treat yourself to a unique experience not just on St. Lucia but in the culinary world. It’s like being at the chef’s table but that’s for every guest.

We had the best time at Orlando’s for our first dinner in Soufriere. So fresh and absolutely delicious. $75usd for a 5 course meal with dessert at the end. Had lobster bisque, amazing mango salad, incredible bbq chicken, and such fresh fish. From major foodies, we could not recommend this place more!
