The food is amazing best on the Island and a view over english harbour. It is a must to come here. Service is relaxed and so it should be no need to rush here, just soak up the view and drink more wine. I always visit this restaurant when I come to Antigua, and it should be on the 100... More

Sublimely tasty food matched with great hospitality. Very friendly service and a great location. Catherine's is moving soon to a new location. Good luck and hope all goes well.

Magnificent meals at Catherines cafe! Really fantastic set lunch during the Classic Yacht parade - delicious, good quality and great choice. We also went for the Wed evening jazz night - magical! Lovely music, not too intrusive, and fantastic food. This really is a top quality restaurant in a fantastic setting. The food is WONDERFUL and the staff are FANTASTIC!!

The food at Catherine's is excellent and the service is cheerful. Eight of us had eight different appetizers and entres for lunch and all were fantastic, helped along with generous quantities of Clos Beylesse. The great location right on the waterfront allows for a post meal stroll and viewing of the local historic naval sites from the 18th century and/or... More

Claudine (she took over from Catherine) does a wonderful job here. Dine by the waters edge and admire the super yatchs. Better still admire the wonderful food that will be delivered to your table.

You could not ask for a better setting on a sunny day in the Caribbean. Located right next to the harbour waterfront with stunning views across to Nelson's Dockyard, this restaurant has fantastic food, fantastic service and a fantastic ambiance. The fact that the three waterfront restaurants located nearby were virtually empty, whilst Catherines Cafe was busy, says it all.... More

Returned after 5 years and was not disappointed. Lunch was served by really friendly staff . Starters of Caprese,followed by lobster salad washed down with well chilled Minuty Rose couldn't be bettered......until we had the famous tarte tatin and ice cream. Obviously a popular venue for regulars and tourists,which creates a lively atmosphere. Can't wait to return.

Catherine's is a nice place with a beautiful scenic view of english harbor. The staff were very nice and friendly the food unfortunately is only average and quite expensive. Note if you arrive at Nelson's Dockyard you have to take a boat across the harbor although they are readily available for about $5 per person.

Went for lunch. Nice spot. Typical expat french cuisine. High prices, small portions. Service was good to start, then deteriorated as the wait staff fawned over one or two tables. Food was good. Expect to pay $100 US for lunch without wine.
