Cafe Madeleine

This elegant restaurant occupies a large, hilltop house on the east end of the island, a brief drive from Christiansted. The place opens at 5pm for cocktails, and folks often arrive then to enjoy drinks and spectacular sunsets. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, but no matter where you sit, you'll be enthused by creative dishes that combine elements of Continental and Caribbean cuisine. Start with a hearts of palm salad or baked artichoke hearts, and then enjoy jerk-spiced pork tenderloin or red snapper Milanese. After dinner, enjoy a nightcap in the mahogany-trimmed bar. Weekly wine specials.
