Monsterrat – Cheap Eats

Hilltop Coffee House and Family Centre
“This delightful coffeehouse percolates with strong java and lively chatter thanks to owners David, Clover, Sun, and Kristina Lea (the folks behind Gingerbread Hill up the road). Volcanic relics, old Montserrat Lime posters, and a wild collection of hats adorn the space. In addition to luscious lattes, you can order bush teas and fresh local juices, as well as yummy cinnamon rolls, apple tarts, pure frozen-fruit ice cream, and more. Active types can play Ping-Pong, chess, darts, or dominoes. All the local artworks and products on the walls are for sale. It’s open several afternoons, but hours are irregular (call ahead).” – Fodors.com

Pont's Beach View
“John Ponteen is a man with a big heart who serves big platters of top Caribbean food – from catch of the day to succulent baby back ribs and spicy Creole chicken. Sit at handcrafted mahogany tables in an enchanted garden pergola festooned with detritus washed up by the sea, or grab a table on the breezy octagonal deck overlooking Little Bay.” – Lonelyplanet.com

Soca Cabana
“This hot spot offers live Caribbean beats, as the name implies. But expat owner Tom Walker is passionate about the island’s musical heritage, including the halcyon days of Air Studios. He salvaged the “Bar of the Stars” from Sir George Martin’s celebrated recording space, where weekly Montserrat Idol competitions take place. It’s a delightful liming spot, with the bamboo bar and whitewashed patio accented in mint and turquoise overlooking the beach. Seemingly half the island descends here on Sunday for meals, music, and merriment. Karaoke Saturdays also reel partiers in.” – Fodors.com

Hanks Beach Bar
“This beach-bum hangout sits right on Isle’s Bay Beach at the mouth of the Belham River and gets busy with locals on Sundays. Aside from burgers, chicken and salads, it also has good pizza (sometimes) and a killer lemon-blueberry cheesecake.” – Lonelyplanet.com
