Restaurants in Saba offer delicious international and Caribbean cuisine in relaxed indoor and outdoor eating areas. With the small size of the island, travelers have every opportunity to explore a number of the small eating establishments in Saba.
Most of the restaurants in Saba are like the island itself: small. Nevertheless, like Saba, they charm vacationers with relaxation and intimacy. Island eating establishments represent a spectrum of cultures and price ranges, and travelers have plenty of options when it comes to meal time.
The atmosphere on Saba and in its restaurants is relaxed and casual. Travelers, however, should remember that beachwear and revealing articles of clothing are not appropriate attire in cities, shops, and restaurants. However, unlike on some other islands in the Caribbean, wearing shorts to lunch is acceptable. Dinner dress is still casual, but travelers may wish to wear pants or informal dresses, especially at some of the island's nicer establishments. Travelers should pack clothes that are neat but comfortable for their nicer dinner engagements. As always, if you plan on a business meeting over dinner or will be celebrating a special occasion, more formal dress may be appropriate.
While Saba does not attract a large number of tourists to compete with for dinner reservations, keep in mind that the island also has fewer restaurants and tables than larger islands have. Reservations will be unnecessary at most restaurants on the island, but they are suggested by some of the finer and more popular establishments. Select restaurants may also arrange transportation for their diners.
Most restaurants in Saba accept MasterCard and Visa, and some also accept Discover and American Express. Your bill will often include a service charge of 15 percent. Feel free to leave an additional gratuity for good service. If your bill does not include a service charge, leave a 15 percent as a tip.
Many of the island restaurants also have bars and special events such as karaoke, dancing, and music on various nights of the week. Some restaurants also have theme nights when they serve special cuisine. Some restaurants are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while others will be open from 11:00 a.m. to around 9:00 p.m. Others will open around 6:00 p.m. for dinner. Most restaurants and bars will be closed by Midnight.
