How to Plan the Perfect Trip to St. Lucia

"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 Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"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."

This is a restaurant for fine dining excellent for that special occasion. In my opinion does not allow you to experience the real and authentic St. Lucian cuisine. You can choose from 3 to 5 menu course with or without wine, and obviously it comes with a price. In my opinion slightly pricey for the quality/quantity of food that you get. The service is really attentive, but there is a service charge of 10% as well. Overall is an experience maybe to do once. Recommended

Orlando's Restaurant and Bar was the perfect way to begin our St. Lucia experience. My wife and I dined here on our first night on the island, a Wednesday evening with a 7:00 p.m. reservation. From the moment we arrived at the locked front door, complete with a large door knocker, it felt like we were stepping into our own private speakeasy. That immediate sense of intention and intimacy set the tone for the entire evening. Katianna, our waitress, welcomed us warmly and escorted us to our table on the balcony overlooking the town of Soufrière. The view alone was special, but the experience goes far beyond scenery. There is no menu here. You don’t choose your meal. Instead, you choose either a three-course or five-course tasting menu and fully surrender to the experience. The pacing of the night is slow, deliberately so. Each course arrives with purpose, encouraging you to slow down, savor every bite, and build anticipation for what comes next. And somehow, each course manages to be better than the last. Katianna did a wonderful job explaining every dish as it was served, adding context and care that made the experience feel personal and thoughtful. The food itself was outstanding. Deeply flavorful, beautifully balanced, and clearly prepared with intention and love. This is not a place for picky eaters or anyone who wants complete control over their meal. If that’s you, this may not be your spot. But if you’re willing to sit back, trust the chef, slow down, and truly enjoy the journey, Orlando’s delivers something truly special. Slow down, surrender control, and let Orlando transport you all the way into the heart of St. Lucia.

We almost missed the opportunity to eat at Orlando's. It was a national holiday and the restaurant was normally closed but Orlando opened up for our 7 person crew for a private dining experience! Amazing. Each person in our group helped with the plating of each course. So much fun to get into the kitchen and see what it takes for a chef to create such a delicious and artful meal. I won't forget this meal! Orlando is so gracious and absolutely loves what he is doing. Love is the main ingredient at Orlando's.

This is a more sophisticated meal with options of 3 or 5 course menu. The food is tasty, well balanced flavors, and well presented. We had the 3 course menu on Christmas eve, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Portions are meant for you to appreciate the flavors. Photo of the desert attached.

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 were extremely disappointed with the experience at Orlando's. The prices are completely off base compared to other experiences we had in the area. The food was below average and not innovative for a surprise tasting menu - the accompaniments for both mains were exactly the same and the portions shockingly small. It was also unclearly explained as the first course being soup and salad to share, which was actually 1 soup and 1 salad with a couple bites each. For $65 USD per person you get a few bites of 3 courses with dessert and you will leave hungry. Despite a fully stocked bar, they said they had no cocktails. They were very understaffed and our server was hustling, yet the owner was introducing himself to tables and sitting at the bar - not a great look. We left feeling like we were ripped off from a tourist trap. You're better off spending your money elsewhere for a way better experience overall - we loved The Mango Tree.
