Antigua
Sushi at South Point
Inspired by Asian, Mediterranean and Middle East cuisine, they offer a fantastic mix of fresh, high quality and locally sourced ingredients – the sushi really is to die for! Though the restaurant’s stylish setting suggests fine-dining and dress codes, South Point is the definition of island chic – understated and easy-going. Both the lounge and restaurant welcome non-hotel guests to enjoy the casual, cafe-style vibes. As a testament to this, the restaurant deck, which is suspended over water, is easily accessible by water and equipped for tying up dinghies and paddle boards. The Restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner from 6.00PM to 10:00PM.
