An Island Evening, Framed by Gardens

On Meads Bay, Blanchards brings together a garden-framed dining room and a menu that moves comfortably between Caribbean, Asian and Mediterranean influences. Teal shutters, ceiling fans and candlelight give the setting a familiar island character, while small plates invite guests to make dinner as light or expansive as they please. It suits a quiet meal for two, a family gathering or an anniversary dinner built around good food and conversation. Choose the dining room for a planned evening, or consider the patio and bar for a more spontaneous visit. The sea remains close, with tropical greenery shaping the view from the table.

The People Behind the Table

Clinton Davis & Huegel Hughes

Chef-owners Clinton Davis and Huegel Hughes lead the kitchen, while fellow owner Miguel Leveret oversees the restaurant as general manager. Together, they carry forward the hospitality established by founders Bob and Melinda Blanchard. The kitchen uses local and organic ingredients where available, with Anguilla crayfish among its named island specialties. Caribbean seasonings share the menu with Asian and Mediterranean preparations, reflecting an approach that accommodates both familiar favourites and changing dishes.
The Restaurant’s Story

From Vermont to Meads Bay

Bob and Melinda Blanchard opened the restaurant in 1994 after leaving their specialty food business in Vermont to begin a new chapter in Anguilla. Their memoir, A Trip to the Beach, recounts the challenges and rewards of that move. More than three decades later, the restaurant’s story remains closely connected to the team whose relationships helped shape its welcoming character.

The Experience

A Closer Look at Blanchards

Follow the transition from the garden surroundings to the dinner table, with glimpses of the open-air room, dishes arriving and candlelight after dark. The film introduces the setting and pace of an evening beside Meads Bay.

Blanchards Restaurant serves dinner on Meads Bay, with the dining room, garden patio and bar offering different ways to settle into the evening. The neighbouring Blanchards Beach Shack has its own menu and service style; select the restaurant when arranging this dinner experience.

Begin with herbed ricotta or mussels in red curry, then move to grilled Anguilla crayfish, chicken with citrus or salmon with a miso glaze. The Caribbean Sampler combines crayfish, jerk chicken and salmon on one plate. A cauliflower main provides a vegan option, and a children’s menu covers guests aged ten and younger. For dessert, Cracked Coconut brings together coconut ice cream, Irish cream, chocolate and tembleque; croissant bread pudding offers a warm alternative.

The wine programme has received Wine Spectator recognition and draws on producers from around the world. Rum and tequila flights are also offered. Bottle availability changes, so ask the team for a choice that complements the meal and the occasion.

Submit online reservation requests at least 24 hours ahead. A table is confirmed only once the restaurant replies; for dinner that evening, contact us. The form includes space for dietary requirements and celebrations, as well as requests for high chairs or booster seats. Patio and bar seating welcome guests without reservations, subject to space being available.

For a larger celebration, the events team can arrange private dinners, wedding receptions and other gatherings, with menus developed for the occasion. Discuss the setting and arrangements when requesting a proposal.
