Restaurants on all three islands have developed loyal followings among travelers who have sampled the diverse mix of local and international cuisines served throughout the territory. The picturesque beauty and year-round warm climate of the USVI continually draws internationally trained chefs to its shores, creating a wealth of talent in commercial kitchens on all three islands. Many hotels and resorts have lured these skilled culinary magicians into their kitchens, resulting in the creation of a medley of memorable and exquisite hotel dining rooms and seaside restaurants throughout St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. Often the most difficult issue facing vacationers in the USVI is how to choose from among the islands eclectic array of quality restaurants.
