This is a fantastic lunch spot in Basseterre. Some very unusual choices and a menu that changes everyday. We ate there a few times. The conch and the saltfish are particularly interesting and the cornmeal with okra were a welcome change to the usual side dishes of rice or chips. Lovely owners too!

Had the pleasure of going to eat at this gem today. Our tour operator Kelly eats there whenever possible. The owner "Ken" greeted us as if we were family and he can mix an unbelievable rum drink for you, while you are waiting for your food. I had the Mahi and my wife had the shrimp. Both dishes were bursting... More

Steamed fish is great, conch stew was also good. No view but the good food and large portions compensate for that.

We had a great lunch here our first day in St. Kitts. Excellent fresh fish, rice and beans and veggies. Very friendly place, and reasonable prices.

If you want great local food this is the place to go! It's the only restaurant we found that served local veggies, such as bread fruit, dasheene, christophene etc, much better than cauliflower and carrots, which seemed to be at every restaurant we went to on the island. We also had the BEST FRIES!!!

El Fredo’s is primarily a lunch place near the port in Basseterre. It is family run joint. The son of the owner was extremely polite and friendly. He was helping out serve during his lunch break from his other job and on his way out came to say goodbye to us and wish us well on our trip. I had... More

We loved the fish roti and sides. The young lady who served us was very helpful and sweet. We walked over from Crystal, which of course has wonderful food, but we were very glad we did - one of the highlights of our trip.

We went here as a family after visiting the main city section of Basseterre. The restaurant is about a 10 -15 min walk from the circus or clock tower. The food was great. The service was a little slow, but we did have 13 people with us and they got all of our orders correct. I got teh beef roti... More

Stopped in here after walking by several times missing the open times (lunch 11-4, closed Sunday) and reading the precious day's menu chalked on the board outside. Amazing. Owner is cooking in kitchen and is delightful to speak with about the food, which is all prepared daily with local ingredients whenever possible. We'd heard about 'goat water' and thought we... More
