This great restaurant is right in downtown St. John's but a half-block walk away from the busy tourist area. Great decor. Service was great. A great place to slow down, relax and enjoy your lunch while you are doing a day-trip in St. John's (and luckily you could also get onto the free Wi-Fi of a neighboring internet cafe). Great... More

I went here with 2 of my friends for lunch on April 19th. Most of the meals were around 48 EC and the desserts were between 18 and 25 EC. We got there and the owner I am guessing was working hard and told us that a table would be cleared right away. She was Irish and had great customer... More

One of my favourite restaurants in Antigua. Although right in the centre of the hustle and bustle of St John's, this has a very easy and relaxed atmosphere in a little courtyard just off the street. Great choice on menu with excellently cooked food. Helen and the staff are brilliant! I just love the atmosphere. Not the cheapest but good... More

Just returned from my second Friday night visit to Cafe Bambula where Pascal is the Guest Chef. The food has been top quality on both occasions and the informal surroundings make for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. This is definitely THE place to eat in St Johns on a Friday evening.

You'd walk past the entrance a hundred times before venturing into this oasis of a restaurant experience of exquisitely prepared meals and wonderful wine. Casual caribbean at its best, Cafe Bambula combines an island feel with true French mediterrean cuisine. Staring with the freshly sliced baguettes and the olive tepenade, our luncheon was highlighted by our mahi-mahi and peppercorn steak... More

We ordered fish was was very good. We made reservations for the following Friday. We turned up on time... More

A Nice placed tucked away between two buildings. The atmosphere was great, you sneak in via a path lined with small trees. There were little fans on the walls to keep the air circulating since it's pretty enclosed for being outdoors. It does get a tad warm in the corners or in the direct sun. Choose your seating carefully. The... More
