The resort recently unveiled a new dining concept, featuring fresh sustainable seafood prepared with local Caribbean ingredients.
In keeping with Anse Chastanet’s eco-conscious philosophy, the resort’s Treehouse restaurant is offering a new menu, titled Balawoo – a Creole name for a small fish – which embodies the sea-to-plate, farm-to-table philosophy for which the legendary resort is known around the globe.
Balawoo Dinner Sashimi
Tapping into the resurgence of agricultural industries such as fishing, foraging and farming, Anse Chastanet’s culinary team has partnered with local fishermen and farmers to plan a fresh, coastal menu that features fish and produce that are in season.
Balawoo menu offerings include a Caribbean seafood bar with fresh options such as Snapper Tiradito, Lionfish Ceviche and Wahoo Sashimi. Other menu items include the whole fish of the day roasted in banana leaf. During lobster season, guests can also enjoy Grilled Local Spiny Lobster with Passion Fruit Butter or the World’s Largest Shrimp.

The menu was created by consulting chef, James Beard award winner Allen Susser in collaboration with the vegan Chef de Cuisine at the resort, Frank Faucher. As an added attraction, Emerald’s will host international vegan chefs regularly.
Much of the fresh produce used in the restaurant comes from the resort’s own organic farm Emerald’s in the Soufriere hills, about 20 minutes away from the resort. Guests are able to visit the farm and enjoy farm to table cooking classes with freshly harvested vegetables, salads and fruits. The farm focuses on growing produce that is not easily available on island and the resort supplements the daily kitchen requirements with purchases from the local farmers in the community.
