Two restaurants with different styles & menus. Blanchards Restaurant open-air dining room is warm and welcoming with a “polished casual” atmosphere. Blanchards Beach Shack has casual dining at picnic tables on the beach.
Blanchards has been one of Anguilla’s most beloved dining experiences since 1994. The restaurant’s dinner menu has bold flavors with a global influence and an extensive wine list.
The Beach Shack serves our all-time favorite foods for lunch and dinner including homemade tacos, burgers & sandwiches, fresh salads, ice cream, cocktails, beer & wine.
The two restaurants are located next door on Meads Bay, one of the most pristine Anguilla beaches. Both locations offer a variety of delicious gluten free and vegan dishes.

If I could give 10 stars for service, I would! We had reservations for my 60th birthday and Mckayla sure made me feel special. Not only did we get two glasses of prosecco to start, but the menu also said “Happy Birthday Amy” on it, and we got gelato at the end with a sparkler. In addition, we seemed to have the best seat in the house. Mckayla stayed after her shift to talk with us about the island as she grew up there. We learned so much!
We ordered the herbed ricotta and Iceberg with feta to start. Both were fabulous. Those were followed by yummy skewered shrimp covered in lemony panko. For my main I had the Thai Curry mussels. It was a very generous portion in a well-balanced sauce. My wife had the gnocchi bolognese. That dish fell short for us because of the consistency of the gnocchi was dense and gummy. We were told they were known for their carrot cake, so we took a piece back to our room. It was fantastic.
This dinner, because of the service and atmosphere, was our favorite of our 6-night stay.

So, based on reviews, I not only came to this pace, I tried the burger- The Blanchard burger. I ordered medium and it came well done. Needed salt, just like their fries. VERY small burger size for $17.25 (fries are like $3.25). Very underwhelming. Their sauce is a good portion size. Their fries are a good portion but you can tell they’re frozen… not much to them. Burger is simple. I also ordered a Rum Punch earlier on and while it did give me a buzz, the one I had earlier this morning from Studz_Pub (Instagram) was far better tasting and stronger. It’s a nice place to watch sunset. Water/waves are rough. Nice ambiance with the twinkle lights outside. Would I come back? Nah… too many other place to try. I don’t feel satisfied nor satiated and that’s not a good place to be after investing $25 in food and beverage.

We were celebrating my wife‘s 60th birthday. Every staff member knew about it and congratulated her. We got 2 glass of champagne for free. I ordered spanish dates and we both had the crayfish. The food was so delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant

Amazing food and experience here! It’s an order at the window & seat yourself restaurant. The seating is all outdoors – a lot of shade – they have beach chairs available too. The food quality is so good. Burger and fries, fried chicken were 11/10. Variety of frozen drinks and cocktails were also amazing

Such an amazing restaurant, by far my favorite in Anguilla! Food is amazing, we ate there multiple times for lunch and dinner. Everything was fresh and made perfectly. I loved the unique taste with the robust flavors, perfectly placed garnish and great care in presentation of each plate. Highly recommend you make a reservation for dinner due to it being a favorite and always a bit of a crowd. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It’s bright and cheerful and just brightened my mood, it screams elegant beach restaurant! You can walk out and take the most amazing photos of the sunset.
Staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to be back in Anguilla to try more of their exquisite dishes!
There is plenty of parking, lot fills up but there is additional parking across the street and next door.

It took some effort to secure a reservation this year, but Annie came thru and provided us an incredible opportunity to celebrate our 39th anniversary. The entire staff was aware of our celebration and treated us like long time friends. Our dinner was simply delicious. Char siu ribs were so tender and the Korean sauce was incredible. Fresh grouper with a ginger topping left me wanting more! And do not leave without trying the Coconut Crack for dessert. We will be back next year for sure. Book your spot well ahead of time and prepare to be amazed!

Came here for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation so we ended up on the outdoor patio. Our server was quite friendly and engaging. I ordered a rum flight which was a good price and generous servings. To start we had the whipped ricotta. For entrees, the sea bass, pork shank, and the dates and green beans. All the food was pretty tasty. My fish was a bit overcooked but had good flavor. For dessert we shared the bread pudding and carrot cake. Overall a good meal!

Blanchards is a lovely restaurant with a calm, welcoming atmosphere and a beautiful beach view. The food was decent—I had the wings, which were a bit overcooked. They came with a blue cheese dressing that didn’t quite complement the wings, though the dressing itself was actually really good (my sister even went back for more, she liked it so much).
The drinks were just okay. I had a frozen drink that didn’t really stand out to me.
I’d definitely go back, but next time I’d probably try something different or ask for a recommendation instead of sticking with what I ordered.

We returned here for a 10th anniversary and it was beyond delicious. As seen from the photo we got a personalized menu for our anniversary, which was a really nice touch. The only disappointment was that we didn’t have time to make it to the Blanchard at beach shack for lunch.
