Buccan might as well be the cultural heartbeat of Sandals Saint Vincent, a resort that’s quickly skyrocketing in popularity. As you search for distinctive island flavors, this can be an excellent place to start. As one of Sandals’ first family-style dining concepts, this restaurant does not disappoint.

Think you’ve already found a favorite restaurant at Sandals Saint Vincent? There’s plenty of time to decide, with many more restaurants to explore.

During the day, the outdoor dining area is very popular, with ocean views, tropical flowers, and cool ocean breeze.
Before dining at Sora, decide whether you’re in the mood for a laid-back and delicious breakfast buffet, or an equally tantalizing dinner. That can help you figure out the best time to visit. If you go for dinner, the à la carte menu features a variety of choices. Guests often rave about the Caprese salad, crispy calamari, and risotto, among other options.

Heartier options like fried chicken, burgers with fries, and island-inspired desserts like banana fritters and guava parfait are also on the menu.

Pizza is always a yes, whether you’re in vacation mode or just looking for a casual bite on a regular day. And at Sandals Saint Vincent, you can indulge in oven-fresh pizza right from your resort! This is one of the simpler dining options available, and you can usually get your pizza in around 15 minutes after ordering.

Coffee and ice cream, all in one place! If that isn’t enough incentive to step out of your room and get moving, maybe we just need to say it a little louder. Seriously though, Crema at Sandals Saint Vincent is a hard to resist invite to grab coffee or ice cream, adding a memorable touch to your vacation. The highlight here is tasting locally grown, harvested, and roasted Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee beans brewed exclusively for Sandals Resorts guests.
At Crema, you can indulge in not only coffee and ice cream but also specialties like ‘Risorto’ – espresso with a shot of liqueur, and ‘Affogato’ – ice cream with a shot of espresso. This restaurant also offers iced coffees and a variety of ‘Boozy Adventures’. The Black Pearl, made with Tia Maria, Jamaican Rum, and cold brew over ice, is a must-try.

Tall, short, iced, or spiced, Blum knows exactly how to get your day started on a tropical note. This mini restaurant serves coffee and breakfast bites, and it is the earliest breakfast option that you’ll find at Sandals Saint Vincent. Much like Crema, you can find espresso with a shot of liqueur here and other ‘Boozy Adventures’. But, aside from the coffee, the real highlight is the pastries that are made fresh daily. This is a great spot to grab breakfast if you’ve got tours scheduled early in the morning or you otherwise just want to get an early start to your day. If you just want to grab coffee, that’s fine too!

Most restaurants at Sandals Saint Vincent do not require reservations, but a few, such as Gatsu Gatsu, Butch’s Island Chop House, and Buccan, do. Due to their limited capacity, making reservations ensures guests receive the best dining experience. While many restaurants do not require reservations, arriving early can also secure good seating and minimize wait times.
Typically when staying at Sandals Resorts, try your best to make dinner reservations early where necessary or arrive early to avoid extended waits at restaurants without reservation requirements. Guests staying in butler suites need not worry about reservations, as their butler handles these details on their behalf!
There’s so much to look forward to at Sandals Saint Vincent that planning your day is essential to make the most of it. While the sun is out, enjoy the laid-back beach atmosphere and soak in the easygoing vibes. As night approaches, consider dressing up a bit to explore the resort’s top dining spots. Choosing the best restaurants depends entirely on your mood. Italian cuisine one day, perhaps Caribbean fusion the next—mix it up and indulge in multiple dining experiences in a single day if you feel like it.
For the best dining experiences at Sandals Saint Vincent, we suggest starting with restaurants that serve your favorite cuisine to ensure you don’t miss out. Or try some of the newest concepts like Buccan. Booking restaurants that require reservations early in your stay can be helpful; if plans change, you can usually reschedule. Ultimately, the best restaurants at Sandals Saint Vincent are a matter of personal preference.
