Coral Reef Restaurant & Bar Open Now

Coral Reef Restaurant & Bar is a relaxed, beachfront restaurant-and-bar in the heart of Calibishie on Dominica’s north-east coast, known for its sea views and easy “pull-up” atmosphere. It’s often described as a hidden gem because it sits behind/alongside a small grocery-style frontage, so you can easily pass by without realising that, tucked at the back, there’s an open-air dining space right by the water.

The overall experience blends casual island comfort with a surprisingly romantic setting. Coral Reef is frequently described as having a spectacular ocean view and a cosy, by-the-sea ambience, ideal for a casual lunch, a laid-back dinner, or drinks with the view. If you’re planning a date night or a special evening, it’s worth requesting a table closer to the sea when you arrive.

Food leans into authentic local Caribbean / West Indian flavours, with seafood featuring strongly alongside hearty, satisfying plates. The menu is known to change daily depending on what fresh produce and ingredients are available, which keeps things seasonal and genuinely local. Hospitality is often highlighted as a major part of the appeal, with the owner and staff described as warm and welcoming. One signature that gets special mention is the short ribs, often described as famous, unforgettable, and a must-try if it’s available.

Service note: Delivery may be available if a driver is available, so it’s best to call ahead and confirm.
