One of the Caribbean’s most anticipated annual culinary events is almost here: St. Kitts and Nevis Restaurant Week 2026 kicks off tomorrow, July 16, bringing an 11-day celebration of local flavor centered around a surprisingly dynamic ingredient pair: carrot and passionfruit.
Organized by the Nevis Ministry of Tourism, this year’s event invites both local diners and visiting food enthusiasts to explore more than a dozen participating eateries spread across the island, each crafting unique, themed menus that highlight the versatility of carrot and passionfruit. From casual quick-bite specials to elevated three-course fine dining experiences, the lineup caters to every taste preference and budget, with options ranging from a few Eastern Caribbean dollars to $60 USD per person.
Most venues are offering full three-course dinner packages priced between $40 and $60 USD, or 108 to 162 Eastern Caribbean dollars. One standout participant, Westbury’s Geothermal Bar & Catering Service, is celebrating its tenth consecutive year taking part in Restaurant Week with an exclusively carrot-and-passionfruit menu priced at $40 USD per guest. For fine dining seekers, Mango Restaurant serves up a $60 USD prix fixe spread featuring creative dishes including a Nevis Peak green salad, Caribbean spice-rubbed roasted lamb loin, and a creative deconstructed carrot cake finished with passionfruit accents. Montpelier Nevis, another premium option also priced at $60 USD, will offer service only on select dates, with a menu that opens with a smoky fire-roasted carrot and passionfruit velouté and closes with a decadent carrot and white chocolate délice.
For diners looking for more flexible, lower-cost options, many establishments are opting for a la carte or rotating daily specials rather than fixed-price full menus. Boddie’s Restaurant & Pizzeria is running a week-long series of changing daily dishes priced between 3 and 35 Eastern Caribbean dollars. Two spots, The Hook Up Bar & Grill and Level Up Sports Bar and Grill, will exclusively offer their themed specials for one day only on opening day, July 16, with individually priced items. Cocktail lovers can head to Margarita Wheels, where a full special menu of passionfruit-focused drinks is available for $25 USD per cocktail.
The full roster of participating venues covers every corner of Nevis, ranging from beachfront clubs to hilltop dining spots and casual neighborhood bars. Other confirmed participants include Chrishi Beach Club ($40 USD), Yachtsman Grill ($60 USD), Passion Bar & Grill (a la carte lunch), Sunshine’s Beach Bar & Grill at Pinney’s Beach ($60 USD), Mojo’s Bistro, Bakery & Bar in Belmont Garden (162 Eastern Caribbean dollars), The Grub (passionfruit baked pork chops at $35 USD), Sip on the Square (select dates, $60 USD), 869 Sports Bar & Grill (100 Eastern Caribbean dollars), Queen City Bar & Garden in Charlestown (two-course lunch for $20 USD), The Mount Nevis Hotel ($55 USD), Bananas Tropical Treetop Dining ($60 USD), L’Escale French Caribbean Bistro ($40 USD), Hermitage Nevis ($60 USD), and Buju’s Place ($20 USD).
To help attendees plan their culinary itineraries ahead of the 11-day event running through July 26, the Nevis Ministry of Tourism has published all participating venues’ themed menus in a public Facebook post, and urges diners to book reservations early to secure spots at their top-choice restaurants. “The wait is over… the menus are HERE! It’s time to start planning your foodie adventure,” the tourism authority shared in its announcement. “Now’s the perfect time to browse the menus, pick your must-visit restaurants, and start making those reservations!”
