The Best Restaurants in St Helier Jersey (& beyond)

Posted on 01/27/2019

One of my favourite things to do is EAT. So I was super excited to try some of the best restaurants in St Helier Jersey and beyond on a recent trip to this wonderful island.

Everywhere I go I love trying new food and searching out local restaurants that are highly recommended by the people that live there. Jersey was no different and I was super excited to see what this small island had to offer.

They’re already famous for four staples in our everyday lives: Jersey Cows (beef), Oysters, Lobster and Jersey Royal Potatoes. Whilst on the island we tried an array of different types of food, both restaurants in St Helier Jersey and beyond.

MY FAVOURITES

FEAST – This place was my favourite on the island with great food and even better service! You can find the restaurant on Gorey Pier, overlooking the harbour and basking in the picture-postcard magnificence of Mont Orgueil Castle.

Feast offers an easy, relaxed atmosphere dressed in a distinctive and eclectic style. They specialise in simple, delicious and modern cuisine, including sticky pork ribs, sizzling garlic prawns, Thai green curry and the famous salt and pepper crispy squid.

Feast also offers an extensive wine list, as well as a selection of beers and exotic cocktails served from the Fin de siècle Parisian tin bar. It’s a haven for foodies and the perfect spot to unwind and indulge.

The Hungry Man – Nestled on the harbour wall in Rozel Bay, The Hungry Man offers a wide range of food, from gourmet burgers to crab sandwiches and delicious homemade cakes. All seating is al fresco, so be sure to rug up in the chillier months!

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried to suit the calm and natural environment of beautiful Rozel Bay. An institution since 1947, the Hungry Man continues to deliver satisfaction to all appetites, large or small! Take on the Double Decker Health Wrecker, if you dare!

Sirocco Restaurant – Guests can relax in the light and fresh surroundings of the chic 2 AA Rosette restaurant while indulging in a direct view of the chefs as they masterfully prepare delicious dishes. On balmy evenings they can dine under the stars on the Sirocco balcony and gaze out over the glittering marina and beyond.

Cafe Zephyr – Fresh and fashionable, Zephyr is the perfect destination no matter the occasion. Always popular with locals and visitors alike, the inventive and varied menus cater to all tastes, with options ranging from: breakfasts through to beef burgers and club sandwiches, to hot oriental salads, sushi and sashimi, Asian spiced meats, and the signature dish, Chili Squid. Located within the Royal Yacht Hotel.
