Green Island Restaurant

The story

For many years, Green Island Restaurant has been a fixture on the quiet St Clement coastline, consistently drawing diners with its inviting charm. Its enduring appeal lies in the straightforward elegance of its offering: fresh, thoughtfully prepared food served against a quintessential Jersey vista. The menu frequently spotlights the day's catch, reflecting a deep respect for the island’s maritime bounty, alongside grilled options and a considered wine selection. The real magic unfolds on the terrace, where tables are almost suspended above the sand and rockpools, providing an unobstructed gaze towards the eponymous tidal island. This connection to the landscape makes Green Island more than just a meal; it's an immersion in the island's natural beauty, particularly captivating as the sea slowly reclaims the shoreline.

What to expect

Dine in a bright, airy space, or better yet, secure a table on the terrace to truly appreciate the coastal theatre. You'll choose from a menu that champions fresh, locally sourced seafood, often featuring daily specials based on the morning's landings. Alongside these, expect a well-curated selection of grilled meats and an appropriate wine list. The atmosphere is unhurried, encouraging a leisurely lunch or dinner. The visual highlight is undoubtedly the ever-changing seascape, with Green Island itself as the focal point, creating a serene and picturesque dining environment.
