Ital in Paradise

We stopped in here for lunch and each had their Tofu BBQ plate, excellent! Loved the BBQ, the fried lentil balls, the brown rice, and the salad. Fresh made juice too! Highly recommended.

The restaurant has a really comfortable surroundings. A real vegan place to eat.

Definitely visit Ital in Paradise if you are looking for a tasty vegan meal in St. Croix. There is a fish dish on the menu, but the vegan food is clearly marked. I have been there twice now and enjoyed both of the "vegan plates" that the chef made. The fried lentils and tofu were nicely balanced with well-seasoned rice, plantains and a fresh salad. The food is nourishing, healthy, and delicious, and the portions are generous. Make sure to try one of their juices too, and eat in: the cafe is cute, air-conditioned, and centrally located in Christiansted.

Ital in Paradise is one of the only vegan-friendly places in Christiansted open for dinner (most only serve lunch). I've already been to the restaurant twice, and I have plans to visit again!

First off, "Ital" is not short for Italian, but is rather a Rastafarian style of food.

Small restaurant with maybe 8 chairs on a second floor. Short menu, with one or two main dishes available each day, one of which is always vegan. Vegan veggie burger also available. Several side dishes including fried plantains, but unfortunately a few such as the lentil balls which have such good reviews were not available. Delicious juices as well, including soursop and chlorophyll juices.

We got a kale dish with coconut fried rice and a salad. Also, Christopher the owner was kind enough to give us fried bread fruit and the chlorophyll juice for free.

Everything was awesome. My family of 11 (mom, dad, brother, sis-in-law, 4 nieces) left happy and full.
