E's Oven

Anguilla


Named in honor of owner-chef Vernon Hughes' late mom, this charismatic cottage is a sure bet for Caribbean specialties at competitive prices. Insiders phone ahead to call dibs on the famous oven-roasted chicken, but when that's gone, coconut-encrusted grouper with banana-rum sauce, curried goat or Creole conch are tasty alternatives – and best enjoyed with an E's Smile (rum punch).

All mains come with a choice of rice or mash and veggies or plantains.
