British expats Julian and Tracy Rigby, who sailed around the Caribbean for a while before establishing this place near Oualie Beach, are now among the island's best chefs. Their well-chosen and carefully prepared menu is backed up by a sophisticated wine list. Open only 4 days a week, they have often entertained celebrities, including Meryl Streep. Menu items feature a wide variety of fish that's smoked in-house according to whatever comes in fresh that week. Angus steaks, the best on Nevis, arrive regularly from the U.S. and are prepared any way you want them. There's also a selection of spicy curries, vegetarian dishes, and beef and chicken main courses. Desserts are made fresh daily, featuring cheesecakes and such delights as a mocha and chocolate torte. The restaurant's name is a corruption of a term that the Rigbys developed during their years as yachties -- "The Galley Pot."
