Gladys’ Cafe

US Virgin Islands


With the stereo blaring beside her, Gladys belts out Tina Turner tunes while serving some of the best West Indian food around. Locals and tourists pile in for her callaloo (spicy soup with okra, meats and greens), fungi (cornmeal pudding), Ole Wife (triggerfish) and fried plantains. Gladys’ homemade hot sauces (for sale at the front) make a fine souvenir.

There's also a towering Caribbean-lobster salad sandwich.
