“Excellent meal, great location, friendly hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

We returned to Catherine's Cafe for the first time in 3 years. Greeted like long lost friends. Excellent food - fresh Mahi Mahi always good, as is Salidou mouse. The Rosé 'Minuty' great value - perfect for a leisurely lunch.
Can't fault it!

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Hard to know what to say, really, other than this restaurant deserves a Michelin star. Quite exceptional in all respects.

“Don't miss at Nelson's Dockyard”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

"This is a happy restaurant," my wife said. "Everybody is very happy here!"
We were strolling on the quay, gawking at the trophy yachts when we got to Catherine's and yes, every table seemed to be having a very good time. Catherine is in the middle of it all, going table to table with the menu on a chalkboard and plenty of Gallic charm.
Menu has the French bistro standards with generous helpings of Caribbean spiny lobster--lobster soup, lobster cakes, lobster salad. The soup was creamy and foamy with excellent flavor. Tartiflette is a little individual version of quiche with a layer of gratin potatoes beneath the eggs and bacon, again excellent. You see where I'm headed, lots of reasons to be happy at Catherine's.
Loved the tarte tatin, the true classic, crunchy puff pastry and warm apples topped with vanilla bean ice cream.
A big storm broke out while we were eating, torrential rain pounding the bay but by the time we were done the sun was back out and we headed for the beach. It's never bad for long around here it seems.

“Wow!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

So it may have been that we were on our last night, but honestly I think it was the best meal we had during our stay! Lobster risotto, yum! Only downside was the extremely long wait for our check at the end of our meal while they experienced a rush. Certainly not enough to keep us from returning though!

Have just returned home from having a delightful Sunday lunch at Catherine's. a truly memorable meal.
Starter of Prawns with a stunning Mango dip..Mains Lamb Shank....delicious. Pud was a Choc Volcano....amazing... Washed down with a bottle or two of Rosé. Stunning location.. Overlooking the Super Yachts in English Harbour what more can a girl ask for....
It lives up to its reputation. We will be back!
