"Coal Pot is a marina-front Caribbean and French fusion eatery in St. Lucia's capital that has been here for years, a testament to its appeal with locals and visitors alike. You'll also want to visit Coal Pot's sister restaurant, The Pink Plantation, for Creole-inspired dishes in a historic, 150-year-old estate." - Carley Rojas Avila

"Builton a deck overlooking the Vigie marina, The Coal Pot is a local favorite that makes a breezy, delightful spot for a lunch or dinner with a view. Named after the traditional methods of island cooking, the restaurant specializes in some of the best seafood on the island, including St. Lucian crab back and traditional saltfish with green fig (banana), as well as steaks, poultry, salads, and soups. Weekday lunches have a fixed three-course option. Reserve ahead for a bayside table: At night, the setting couldn't be more romantic."
Sketchy road coming in but wow! Delicious food and beautiful restaurant. We reserved a waterfront table. I got the tuna and I have dietary restrictions so no butter and no oil and they managed to grill the tuna and use lemon instead!! I thought that was so creative because it tasted sooo good. The Dorado was also super good! There are mosquitos and I denied the bug spray offered because of the smell but I did wake up the next morning with a lot of bug bites, my fault, so use it. The water is gorgeous and there’s a turtle who likes to visit. You can also see crabs. Very dim lighting. Overall recommend trying this restaurant!

The atmosphere was nice. I enjoyed the setting that was created, similar to a Bali inspired theme.
The food was also decent. Not amazing, but still enjoyable.
I was a bit let down by the level of service and also having some dirty utensils.
As a visitor to St. Lucia, I was expecting more, based on feedback from the locals.

The Coal Pot is a great option if you’re looking for a place to eat in Castries. It’s located near George F. L. Charles Airport and Vigie Beach, with a beautiful waterside/marina view.
The open, terrace-style seating makes it feel airy and relaxed, and you can really enjoy both the food and the scenery. A lovely spot to unwind.

Had the Dorado with garlic butter sauce and it was amazing. The fish was fresh, tender, and full of flavor with perfect sides. Beautiful waterfront setting with warm lighting and a peaceful breeze. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel special. 100% recommend The Coal Pot, it’s a must visit.

We went in the evening and it had an almost magical feel to the place, beautiful lighting, overlooking the water (where we saw a turtled) and felt very special. Our favourite dish was the mussels which not only were in an incredible sauce but were also a lot larger than any we've had before. The staff were very accommodating and had good recommendations. Would thoroughly recommend!

Visited this restaurant last night with my family and wow. The ambient lighting and Bayfront view is beyond stunning. We enjoyed a few appetizers and I am still thinking about the mussels. The portion sizes were just right and the staff were very attentive. Probably my favourite dining experience of my trip.

Amazing food. Great service. The perfect restaurant for a date. We drove there and will recommend to use a Susuki Jimmy or a similar vehicle as there is an open road to arrive there. Drive slowly and Be careful with the dogs that are sleeping near the gate entrance when leaving at night.
