About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

The food was excellent, the best we tried on Nevis during our 9 day stay. The setting is secluded and beautiful, and has a great indoor-outdoor setup. The staff were also kind and very helpful as well!

Just had an amazing dinner at McDuff’s on Normans Cay in the Exumas, Bahamas, and it was everything we could’ve hoped for! The vibe there is so chill, perfect for a relaxing evening after a day out on the water. For dinner, I went with the Caribbean Bowl, and let me tell you, it was a flavor-packed delight! 🍲 The bowl came loaded with grilled chicken, savory rice and beans, fresh corn, tangy pickled onions, crunchy cabbage slaw, and creamy avocado slices. Every bite was a perfect mix of textures and flavors, totally hit the spot! I also couldn’t resist getting a side of fried plantains—crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. They were the perfect complement to the meal! 🍌 To wash it all down, I opted for a virgin mango daiquiri. 🥭🍹 It was super refreshing with that perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and just look at that vibrant color! Topped with a cherry and a slice of orange, it was the ideal tropical drink to pair with the meal. If you’re ever at Normans Cay in the Exumas, McDuff’s is a must-visit. The food is awesome, the drinks are on point, and the setting is just what you need for a laid-back island experience.

St Thomas

About the restaurant

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and
