Our St Croix Restaurants Guide is the most comprehensive, carefully curated list of restaurants, cafes, bistros, and beach bars on the island. From local West Indian food to casual beachside fare to fine dining – you’ll find only places that we eat and recommend to friends and family.
Gluten Free Friendly
Traveling and maintaining a gluten-free diet can be a challenge. As someone who follows a strict gluten-free diet for health reasons, I know the stress that can be involved. So, I’ve listed below some of the spots that I frequent and know offer well-marked gluten-free items on the menu or have staff that are friendly and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and allergies. You’ll find that several St Croix grocery stores offer an excellent array of gluten-free items.
