Dasheene Restaurant
Guests and visitors flock to Dasheene to enjoy the spectacular views and award-winning cuisine. Best known for eclectic and innovative menu items, Dasheene is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a Sunday Brunch offering.
Dasheene sets itself apart by focusing on sustainable cooking sourced from locally harvested ingredients. Chef Orlando Satchell's kitchen is dedicated to serving up fresh native ingredients from island farmers and neighboring plantations that grow their produce primarily for the resort.
Chef Orlando's cooking renders stylish interpretations of traditional St. Lucian dishes, such as sweet potato and coconut soup, Caribbean lamb salad, roast conch with pickled vegetables served in a yam basket, Cajun Creole vegetable bakes, jerk poulet sausage, plantain gratin with coconut rum sauce and more.
Using the bounty of the local catch, Dasheene's menu offers tempting Caribbean fare with items such as Sugar Cane Shrimp, Fish Pot Consomme and the daily catch prepared in Chef Satchell's award winning, West Indian flare.
