Dasheene at Ladera
What the experts agree on
Perched at Ladera with jaw-dropping close-up Piton views, Dasheene shines especially at sunset. St. Lucian cuisine impresses, though some feel it's lost a touch of its earlier culinary cachet.
“It may have lost a smidgen of cachet since Chef Orlando Satchell left in 2012 to open his own restaurant in Soufrière, but this is still one of the island's top gourmet experiences.”
– Frommer's
