The Prince Of Wales Hotel

This modern brasserie on Jersey's south coast is split across several areas: there's a small lounge and bar; a paved terrace with bay views; and a dining room with heavy wood tables, modern seashore paintings and animal ornaments. Unsurprisingly, locally caught seafood is a feature of the menu – with produce like wing of Jersey skate on offer – but there are also hearty meat dishes to satisfy.

Ocean is a fitting name for this restaurant perched above St Ouen’s Bay. Its crisply laid, bright white dining room and shuttered windows certainly give it a nautical feel, backed up by stunning views across the grounds to the rolling waves. Island produce leads the way, with the likes of black butter, local fish and top-notch oysters featuring in dishes such as Jersey butter poached cod with sweetcorn and smoked eel. Desserts are a highlight and if the bavarois with strawberries is on the menu, be sure to choose it. Service is cheery and, as its set within a hotel, luxuriously appointed bedro

One of the best things about Oyster Box is that it really reminds you that you're on an island. The location looking out over St Brelade's Bay is magnificent, with the terrace in particular offering some of the finest sea views you'll find – and the food is a perfect match for the setting, with bright, fresh dishes featuring top-drawer seafood. Jersey rock oysters are an obvious must-order, but the rest of the dishes are equally enticing; it's worth keeping an eye on the fish of the day and if you order the terrific crab taglierini, you won't be disappointed.

Jersey meets Italy at this wine bar serving hearty, full-flavoured dishes in what was once a delicatessen. The owners run a business called Wild Wine, which imports natural wines from small producers – and a fabulous choice of these bottles is available to enjoy while dining. The pasta and gelato are both made in-house, and all the cooking is executed with such care. Keep an eye out for the blackboard specials.

Overlooking St Aubin's Bay, this intimate restaurant inside the Grand Jersey Hotel offers a haven of luxury, not only in its opulent surroundings but also in the ingredients used. While you relax in the elegant room with linen-clad tables, you can expect to enjoy Jersey produce from blue lobster to Angus beef, not to mention excellent wild turbot. While their components are classically luxurious, there’s some playfully creative touches to the dishes. Bespoke wine flights are available to complement the cooking.

Owner and self-taught chef, Stephen, takes inspiration from his travels and discoveries across Asia when compiling the immensely appealing menu at this cute neighbourhood spot, which resembles something between a little bistro and an izakaya. There are lots of local ingredients, the bao buns are delicious, and be sure to end with the Japanese French toast.

Overlooking Liberation Square, this buzzing restaurant takes inspiration from the chef’s time working in Spain. Ingredients from Jersey and the surrounding area meet techniques often associated with the Basque region; glowing hot coals and a wood-fired oven are both visible in the open kitchen, with a few counter seats available if you can stand the heat. From chops of turbot and ex-dairy cow to Ibérico ham collar, plenty of quality produce gets the fire-based treatment, in dishes that push natural flavours to the fore.
