In-Depth Information
décor is minimalist, but the staff is very welcoming and the
food is terrific. Many consider it the most authentic West In-
dian restaurant on the island, which explains why virtually
all your fellow diners are locals. Caribbean lobster, fresh lo-
cal fish, curried chicken and mutton stew are all favorites,
as are the pork chops. Local bands play on the lower level at
dinner. Lunch 11:30 am-4 pm, dinner 5:30-9:30 pm. Closed
Sun.

GLADYS' CAFÉ
Royal Dane Mall West
(340) 777-6604
Inexpensive
Set in an air-conditioned Colonial warehouse, in the most at-
tractive alley in town, Gladys' is the most popular breakfast
stop in town. Hot cereals, thick French toast, lox and bagels
and all kinds of omelettes are served. Gladys herself sets the
tone for her informal eaterie, greeting each guest with a
broad smile. Lunch starts at 11 am and the hot chicken salad
is a top draw, followed by such West Indian dishes as salt
fish and dumplings, curried goat, mutton stew and conch.
There is a special “roti” (wrap) daily. Burgers, grilled sand-
wiches and pasta are served as well. Sample a fresh fruit co-
lada with a splash of rum. Locals add Gladys' home-made
hot sauce to virtually every dish. You can take some home for
$5 or $10 a bottle. There are three varieties. Breakfast
Mon-Sat 6-11 am, Sun 8-11 am and lunch 11 am-2:30 pm. No
dinner.
