Reviews Summary

Orlando's Restaurant & Bar is lauded as an exceptional dining experience, consistently praised for its innovative Caribbean cuisine, masterful presentation, and the personal touch of Chef Orlando. While most reviews highlight the outstanding food and warm hospitality, a few mention that other local restaurants offered comparable food, and one diner disliked the fish.

Lise Venne

"We had the pleasure of dining at Orlando's tonight in Soufriere, St Lucia. I have to say that the experience and the food were beyond amazing and we really enjoyed our evening. The dishes were creative, masterfully put together, and were elegant but also a great representation of the culture and the tastes of the area. Orlando himself is one of those people that you can tell is genuinely sincere, friendly, and loves what he does and everyone around him. We couldn't have felt more welcome and will be back. Thank you Orlando for the experience and the nice evening. Ko"

Mike Shepperd

"We stopped here after a long day. It was getting close to this establishments closing time, but the sign out front said to knock. We are happy we did. They obviously had a slow night, but the owner Orlando offered to make us some to go boxes. While we waited for those, he sat us at the bar with Chris, where we had some very good conversations and libations. Twenty minutes later, we were back at our apartment with one of the best meals we have had on the island. Try not to be like us and show up to close to closing time. We will be retuirng tonight to get the full experience. But this was hands down one of the friendliest places we had the pleasure of stopping at."

A man on a mission, chef Orlando Sachell opened his restaurant in downtown Soufrière to present his "Share the Love" (or STL) style of Caribbean cooking. Portions are small, but the flavors and richness of the food make it perfectly filling. Orlando supports local farmers and fishermen by using only locally grown organic produce, local meats, and freshly caught fish in his delicious—and world-class—dishes.

Where To Eat, Stay & Play In St. Lucia

Not far from the kitchen of St. Lucia’s most famous chef is a farmer’s market where he shops daily while putting together a five-course tasting menu. Tucked into the hustle and bustle of Soufrière, where the color inside the restaurant’s two floors is matched only by the brightly hued homes in the surrounding neighborhood, chef Orlando Satchell pushes local and sustainable foods, which means a menu of small portions heavily influenced by fish, fruit, and veggies from the island. With a background in fine dining, the plates Satchell sends out are more complex — a reflection of his experience cooking in England, the US, Asia, and the Caribbean — than you’d find at resorts on the island, but still approachable.
