Straw Hat
Meads Bay, West End, Anguilla
Straw Hat earns its place near the top because it is one of the rare Anguilla restaurants that genuinely works from breakfast through dinner without feeling anonymous at any point in the day. Set at Frangipani Beach Resort on Meads Bay, it has a long-running public identity of its own and remains one of the island’s most useful and recognisable dining addresses. Its strength is versatility with personality. It suits an arrival-day breakfast, an easy beach lunch, a late-afternoon pause or a relaxed dinner with sea air and no excessive formality. In a ranking filled with special-occasion options, Straw Hat stands out for being deeply woven into how visitors actually eat on Anguilla. That practical day-to-night appeal is part of what has made it such a durable island institution.
