Mama Tilly's Bar — Restaurant in Saint Lucia

The food here is only outshined by Mama Tilly herself. While exploring in Laborie, we walked by Mama Tilly’s place and immediately were drawn to the smell. When she greeted us we immediately felt like family, despite it being our first night in the village. We fell in love with her food. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The portions were hearty and the Rum Punch was hitting! We came here multiple times before we left, each time more satisfied than the last. Mama Tilly is a kind woman who puts passion into her cooking. I pray she knows how much of an impact she has made for visitors to Laborie. Also, some info for first timers: Learn to quickly accept the Laborie way of life, as everyone here seems to chill and NOTHING happens fast here. Enjoy the open air concept to everything and embrace the sun and wind. And Mama Tilley’s is cash only....

Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of Mama Tilly's restaurant: the food is exceptional and Mama Tilly will make you feel at home! This was our favorite restaurant on the island and will miss Mama Tilly's cooking. No matter what was on the menu - chicken, pork, lobster, or tuna - it was tasteful and well prepared, served in generous portions with five or six salads and vegetables. Mama Tilly is amazingly generous and considerate: she opened on Christmas Day because she knew that every other restaurant in Laborie would be closed, and made lunch just for us on our last day, Boxing Day, for the same reason. She even gave us a box with fritters and her amazing fruit cake to eat on the plane! Lunch or dinner at Mama Tilly's is a must for anybody who...

To all the foodies looking for that one place during your vacation that’s not to be missed- this is it.

Best (and cheapest) food we had on the island, and we tried 10+ different restaurants during our weeklong stay. We had so many versions of the typical St Lucian fish/chicken entree with a smattering of sides, but this is the only standout in terms of flavor.

As with many restaurants on the island, the menu is whatever is on rotation that day. We loved the grilled chicken (seen in pic) and pork chop. Both dishes were about $10 USD.

We also loved the simple but welcoming dining area. Mama Tilly is so warm and friendly, it’s easy to see why she is so...
