 Serious foodies must try East, famed for its pan-Asian flavours, or head down to Indigo on the Beach for fresh seafood, light and healthy fare. Don't miss Friday night's beach barbecue, for fabulous food under a brilliant canopy of stars.
East is Carlisle Bay's more formal restaurant. The setting continues the hotel's air of stylised cool and calm. You enter through carved wooden double doors from Indonesia and walk into a striking enclave of dark stained wood. Banks of dark louvers close East off from the piano bar and pool outside, but on the other they admit the flickering of the torches at the entrance. The walls themselves are a washed grey. Set against all these muted tones there is a single shout of colour in the fuchsia pink chair covers. As the name implies, the cuisine is Eastern, a fusion of Japanese, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese flavours served in stylised Oriental dishes.
The less formal, open throughout the day, is Indigo on the Beach. It has a delightful setting on the beachfront with a wooden floor and slim pillars supporting a high wooden roof. The tall backed armchairs are also made of wood. Around the edges stand ranks of Caribbean greenery to waist height (lit at night), allowing a view of the sea beyond. The food is simple and healthy, fairly international, and leads on grills, salads and fish.
It is also possible to dine in your suite. A table can be laid on the balcony (or brought inside if you would prefer to be air-conditioned). In the evenings another option is to indulge in a private dinner for two on the jetty at the far end of the beach - the ultimate romantic experience as the jetty is lit entirely by candlelight. Advance booking is required. Room Service is available 24 hours a day.
