Dining out on Jost Van Dyke offers many local delicacies as well as good home-cooked Caribbean food. From grilled Caribbean lobster to curried goat, fresh fish caught hours before or
a good old-fashioned burger and beer, you'll never run out of dining choices.
WHITE BAY
Just down the foot path
in White Bay, there is:

We SO enjoyed the people that we met on the island, along with Ivan, Gertrude and Bun, the good-natured taxi-driver.
Our trip was everything that we could have hoped for. We thank you and all the members of the White Bay Villas Staff
that made our experience so enjoyable. We've made a promise to ourselves that we will return! Cheers and painkillers
all around. ; - )
Sincerely, Erin and Joel Lanik

Ivan's Local Flavor Restaurant and Stress Free Bar is a
family owned business and a favorite hangout for
locals and visitors in a casual atmosphere. Ivan's prepares a mouth-watering barbeque
every Thursday night serving fresh, delicious fish caught and prepared locally. Live entertainment
provided by Reuben Chinnery, a local favorite. On Friday and Saturday nights, Ivan's offers
an evening dinner menu with fresh local selections. Lunches have also now been added to the menu.
Thursday and Saturday nights are the time to catch live music as musicians come from all around to perform.
There's even been the occasional sighting of artists with major record deals.
It will be your home away from home while staying in White Bay Villas and Seaside Cottages.
It is also one of the last remaining honor bars in the Caribbean. Even Kenny Chesney has visited Ivans
and one of his videos was filmed in White Bay! Everyone makes a stop at Ivan's while visiting Jost.
Come in and meet the family! (Pictures below: CENTER - Kenny Chesney RIGHT - Keith Richards )

"I have been meaning to write since last August and here we are already into summer!
My husband and I had the most wonderful time on Jost at White Bay Villas and hanging on the beach last August.
Everyone was so nice and freindly. It made our stay even better than expected. Not to mention the beach, Ivans
and the Soggy Dollar. For four days we practically had the beach all to our selves. And the view from our
cottage was splendid!!! Thank you for all your help in planning our trip last year!!"
