Hibernia--Still Worth the Drive
www.news.ai   Site Map   Click to enlarge pictures

A favorite place to eat in Anguilla, for locals as well as tourists, is Hibernia Restaurant in Island Harbour. Hibernia specializes in French-Indochinese dishes, mostly seafood but also duck, chicken and beef. It is run by husband and wife team, Mary Pat O'Hanlon (hostess) and Rauol Rodriguez (chef), who won "Chef of the Year" in the 1997 All-Anguilla Culinary Contest.

My wife drools over the building as much as the food. The charming West Indian style house, converted into a restaurant, has had the benefit of years of collecting and refining the interior. Rauol and Mary Pat travel extensively every year in the low season, mostly to Asian destinations whre they collect recipes, china and artwork for the restaurant. Each dish on their menu is served on a unique, coordinated china plate from their collection.

Service charge of 10% is added, but you might want to add more. Reservation are strongly recommended. They have email at [email protected] or make your reservation by phone at 1-264-497-4290. Closed Monday.

Most of the items on the menu are new this year, but a few Thai dishes that are customer favorites remain. Below is their 1998 menu in US dollars.
