D'Coalpot

Top choice in Tortola


D'Coalpot's casual outdoor tables under strings of lights are a local favorite. Spicy jerk meats, curries, rotis, grilled fish and other West Indian staples emerge from the kitchen in heaping portions. Staff are friendly, prices are reasonable – what's not to love?
