    Excellent food, service, views, ambiance, and they give great tips for visiting the island. Just love it. It’s our favorite place for breakfast and coffee. They also have fun cocktail drinks.

    We were SO happy to come across this place for lunch on a Saturday. Not many other places were open and we were so relieved to find a place that was. Not only that, but the view and the food were unreal. I had a snapper club sandwich and my husband had the burger. No fries were available that day, but my husband ended up loving the kale coleslaw. The homemade sourdough bread was to die for! This was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and worth the price ($24). They serve coffee (hot and cold) ice cream and other desserts too. Definitely stop here on your trip. You will not be disappointed!

    We ate at the Ridge Cafe 4 times during our 6 day stay on Grand Turk. Every meal was better than the last. Everything is homemade and fresh. The menu changes based on what is fresh and available. The homemade ice cream was fabulous. Ed’s homemade breads were to die for. He would make you anything you want. It is a must visit location and visit it early in your vacation so you can go back more than once! Thanks for the best food we had on the island!

    Super fresh food, creative options, always changing menu based on what's shipped in, and the setting is second to none. The owner's are Canadian and so amazing. Incredibly friendly, welcome, and talented.

    Our family (a group of 9) traveled to Grand Turk in March 2021 and stumbled upon this inviting, delicious, family run establishment. I’d consider our group “ food snobs” as we were raised on home cooked, from scratch meals, and we can sometimes be hard to please! But Amanda and her dad at the Arches blew us all away! We loved every meal and especially their desserts. Amanda is a true cocktail queen and makes the best coconut latte (her attention to detail is second to none) and she even makes coffee ice cubes to not water down your iced coffee on a hot day! Her dad, creates magic in the kitchen making everything from scratch, pairing flavors and fresh ingredients in a true artful way. There was not one item we ordered that we did not devour. We made many stops for coffee, breakfast, dinner, and sometimes just desserts to go during our 10 day stay. Every time we stopped someone said “this is the best...that I’ve ever had”! They graciously accommodated our large group during COVID with ease. If you are ever on Grand Turk do not miss out on this precious establishment with the best chef, kindest hearts, and great view! Our favorites were: Coconut creme brûlée, carrot cake, homemade ice creams, pork chop, shrimp tacos, garlic crostini, grilled lobster.

    So lucky to find this while cruising down Lighthouse Rd. Amanda served us right away and offered us a great selection of breakfast options. We split the Mexican scrambled eggs, which came perfectly cooked sliced potatoes and a small greens salad. The latte was very tasty but the views and the breeze stole the show. From the Cafe’s elevation, you have clear views of most of the island.

    We only got to have one meal here, but breakfast was great! We had the tuna bagel and chef’s breakfast (like an English breakfast with jazzed up beans and flavors). They were able to make an iced decaf, too. Service was great. Only wish they’d been open for dinner while we were there!

    We loved the Ridge Cafe! They have daily specials and the waitress was very friendly and helpful with the island!

    At some point when visiting Grand Turk, if you’re like me, you’ll get sick of the island options. Head up to the ridge (sunrise up there is also worth a trip) and have a meal. Breakfast: tasty. Didn’t love the homemade tortilla of the breakfast tacos because it fell apart. But otherwise the ingredients were bomb. She will make you an awesome breakfast cocktail. I went with an iced coffee with rum cream. Yum. Dinner: we pre-ordered from that days menu. I went halfsies with my sister on a bacon burger and mahi mahi tacos. Again the tortilla wasn’t for me but otherwise all was good there. Burger isn’t exactly a burger we’d have in the states, but some delish flavor mixed around it. Again, very tasty cocktails and I enjoyed affagato with rum cream to put me right to bed. Just go here. You’ll like it.

    The food was great (we had the huevos rancheros), and the view was second to none!

  • 5/5 Stefanie C. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow. Wow. Wow. We came here for dinner and loved it so much we went back for lunch the next day. Delicious, well thought out menu made fresh to order! And, the ice cream is amazing! They make it in-house! SO good. This is a small place with only 7 or 8 (ish) tables, so you'll want to call ahead. If you call ahead, you can place your order to ensure they don't run out of an item before you arrive for your reservation. Amanda and her husband own the place. The kitchen and dining area are seperate, so the food is prepared in the kitchen and then comes to your table in the restaurant area. I'm impressed that Amanda could do all she did. She took orders, made drinks, served each table with a smile. She and her husband seemed highly regarded in the community. The environment is warm and welcoming, and they have a great view. Would highly recommend trying this place while you're in Grand Turk. Another note: each meal is prepared to order by one person in the kitchen, so yes, it does take longer than the average restaurant experience in the US, but you're on vacation and nearly every place we went was on island time, so order a drink, enjoy the view and wait for a delicious meal. If you're in a big hurry, don't eat anywhere in Grand Turk. We're already looking forward to coming back here next time we visit Grand Turk, and we'll probably come multiple times then. Please check this place out--You won't regret it!

    We came because of the views and reviews. After seeing ourselves, everything is truly amazing! 👏 Even the ice cream choices on a hot day to end a great meal! Amanda was awesome. Thanks again, will return whenever on the island again!

  • 5/5 Scott A. J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food quality and ambiance. Easily the best views on the island. The price is high but you get what you pay for; besides, you’re in the middle of nowhere and quality ingredients aren’t cheap to import so I felt it was overall a fair value. Order the ice cream with pecan pie for dessert - you won’t be disappointed.

    By far the best food I’ve had on this island. Homemade bread with their lobster salad and burger was amazing. Great toasted coconut ice cream and an iced London Fog to go, you can’t go wrong.

  • 5/5 Bruce G. 1 year ago on Google
    The best food on the island. Without question. Freshly made, inspired culinary creations that are simply delicious. And thoughtfully presented. Added bonus? Even comes with a panoramic view on the side. Immaculately clean premises. Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent place. Breakfast and lunch daily. Dinner Thurs-Sat. Closed Mondays. Takeout is also available.

    This was our second time dining at this lovely restaurant and we were not disappointed. The location is perfect with a spectacular view of the beautiful Grand Turk sunset. The food was amazing, made to order and simply delicious. Amanda was extremely attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Will definitely be back when we return to this beautiful island this winter.

    Marc and Patsy from Drift Villa told us this is one of the best restaurants on the island and they are right. Definitely worth a side trip if you find yourself on the island. Everything is homemade and delicious. The menu changes based on what's available. When we visited we had Wahoo burgers with slaw and spinach salad, quiche with bacon, and some to-die-for homemade ice cream. Do not miss the ice cream! Or the bread. When we stayed at Drift Villa we bought the bread in one of the local grocery stores and ate well for days. So good! Highly recommend for the food and the excellent views at the top of the ridge. Would definitely return to try more of their menu.

    Really great coffee and brunch food. My boyfriend had the grouper burger and he says it's the best burger he's ever had.

  • 5/5 Sandra J. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate here twice for breakfast and once for dinner during our week stay on the island. Everything is fresh or homemade, including the ice cream. BEST coffee and loved the huevos rancheros and breakfast sandwich. For dinner one night we had the best pork chop we’ve ever had! Awesome high views of the island and great service, too. Not meant to accommodate cruise ship traffic but if you’re staying on or live on the island, this place is the best.

  • 5/5 LOVE V. 4 years ago on Google
    Today we had fresh Wahoo Fish Taco’s and Lobster Chowder! Followed by Chocolate Salted Caramel Pecan Pie and one of my favorite ice creams! It doesn’t get any better than this! 👍🏝

  • 5/5 Harrison N. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food and super friendly staff. Had the Grouper Burger and it was legit! The burger bun was home made and made the meal so much better. Highly recommend if you are planning a trip to Grand Turk. Will definitely be going back during our trip.

    Lovely little spot to enjoy some coffee! The iced latte is phenomenal. We also had dinner here with our friends the last night we were in Grand Turk. My husband is a picky fish eater. He ordered the tuna nicose. I was sure he wouldn’t like it because it’s medium rare and never good in the Midwest AND I was WRONG!! This was by far the BEST tuna I have ever tasted!!! If it’s on the menu, it’s a must try!

    Idyllic spot; we loved our stop-off here for a late lunch!

  • 5/5 Laura J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great location with a swimming pool. Very tasty unique breakfasts and delicious dinners. We returned to this resteraunt a few times as we couldn't resist the food there. The homemade ice-cream is to die for. It is a father-daughter run business and both are really friendly and happy to accommodate your needs.

    Love this cute little spot! My wife and I did a day trip recently and had lunch here on a good friend's reco...so glad we did! It's perched up on a 'ridge' and has fab views of the sea off both sides of the island and all open air with at least the day we were there perfectly light breezes. We were greeted by Amanda, who was super nice and we had a good chat. It's actually a family-run biz, as her dad Ed is the chef and mom runs the rest of the business. OK, to the food, we had the excellent shrimp tacos w/ spicy mango salsa and a really good pickled veggie salad. Yum. And the mushroom & walnut quiche was fantastic and both dishes were big servings as well. We will make this a destination every time we visit, and the dinner menu looks great too. Plus, I hear they have terrific ice cream, but we skipped it this time around. Anyway, go!

    FANTASTIC dining! The fresh, home-made breads are to die for! If you're on the island & have the means to get here, do NOT miss it! (& THANK YOU AMANDA for locating that charger for me!!! <3 )

    Amazing little gem on the road to the lighthouse. Delicious food, great view and excellent service. Note that as of Dec 2020, the actual place is a bit further back from the pin, inside “The Arches”.

  • 5/5 EG X. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and deserts.My favorite meal is shrimp tacos made with home made tortillas followed by pistachio home made ice cream.
