Jacala Beach Restaurant

We wanted a special Christmas Eve lunch and happily returned to Jacala. We love the oceanfront setting, the chic yet relaxed vibe, and have always enjoyed the food. We arrived early to settle into the loungers and savor a cappuccino while watching the waves crash below. Kim made the best cappuccino of the trip—perfectly dry and full of flavor—which set the tone for a leisurely start. We had reserved a corner table and pre-ordered, as we had a flight to catch. My daughter loved her lobster BLT, and my Niçoise salad was beautifully composed. The tuna was a small thin portion but the flavours were nice. The true standout, however, was the house-made bread served with Anguilla salt and a divine EVOO. As a committed carb lover, I could have happily made a meal of the bread alone. My daughter also declared their house rosé the best we had on the entire trip. Jacala is a stunning place to dine—absolutely not to be missed.

Went here on our last night and it was the perfect last meal on the island. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant is also very nice and quiet, despite being quite full when we visited. Overall an amazing dining option.

Very delicious meal my family of four had when visiting Anguilla. I had the crayfish. I am not a big seafood eater but this was melt in your mouth good. Very similar to Boston lobster!

We returned after 10 years and was just as good if not better the last time we were there what a nice chill beautiful dinner. Everything was great from the tuna tartare to the pork and the lobster tail and as our kids said, it was the best ice cream they have ever had.

Stay away !!! Lady walking out to us on parking was very arrogant and condescending. Very unusual, considering that everyone on Anguilla in general very nice, warm and friendly people. We were shocked with absolutely unreasonable and unprovoked rudeness.

This was our favorite restaurant during our entire 6 night stay in Anguilla. Everything was amazing! The lobster risotto and the crayfish are MUST-HAVES. The service is great, and so is the ambiance. The lobster risotto is seriously one of my favorite meals I've ever had. YOU NEED to eat here while you're in Anguilla. It will not disappoint. I have no idea why it only has 4.3 stars, it definitely deserves 5.

The food was excellent and I would easily give five stars if the bottle of rosé had the right temperature. It came to the table warm (almost hot) and although the waitresses were very friendly and efficient bringing ice to the bucket several times to cool it down, it didn’t help. We had to put ice cubes inside our glasses in order to be able to drink the wine. The wine only hit the desired temperature when we were eating our desserts. Other than that, everything was perfect.

What happened to my taste buds . That Mahi Mahi in that sauce without a hint of spice. Oh yes. Then the dessert options retry a little of everything was just what I needed. Wait, did I forget to tell you about the coconut rice. Have not decided which was better the service or the food.
