Saba's Treasure Restaurant, WindwardsideSaba's Treasure
Windwardside

Telephone: 599 416 2819
E-mail : sabastreasure@hotmail.com

Located in the village of Windwardside, Saba's Treasure is aptly named as its built around the island's rich and colourful past, nautical charts adorn the walls, antique fishing buoys, historical photographs and documents are everywhere you care to look.

Saba T's (as locals affectionately call it) is the combined brain child of Saban historian Will Johnson and his son Chris (presently island commissioner), and was designed by local artist Robbie Lynn. Opening in 2004 it was an instant "smash" with locals and students alike (Saba is home to the Saba School of Medicine) supplying the best stone fired pizza in the islands as well as delivering a varied menu including fresh fish from the island's small but fearless fishing fleet.

2008 saw the return of Saba's most talked about son Greg Johnson, the mastermind behind one of the island's most popular restaurants "The Brigadoon". Presently working his magic on Saba's Treasure he's already putting his mark on the place, completely renovating and expanding the kitchen with a second pizza oven (yes the island demanded it!) and moving and rebuilding a "Rock Oven" (that was originally situated Behind-The Ridge) that has surely seen many pig roasts and parties during its long lifetime...

Plans for a multi-screen satellite system are in the works, so you can enjoy a "sports bar" atmosphere for the first time on the island. Saba T's also provides a Take-away and delivery service that caters to the entire island!

So if you're in Windwardside and you want great food, company or entertainment drop in and say hello to the crew!

Swinging Doors

Windwardside
Telephone: 416-2506

Swinging Doors is definitely the place where everybody knows your name. It anchors the corner in Windwardside opposite the Big Rock Market.

Prop. and bartender Eddie Hassell has the neighborhood watering hole recipe down pat: a well-stocked inventory, simple fare (hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, etc.), and a wealth of unsolicited opinions-he renamed his "potato offering" Freedom fries after recent disappointments over non-support from European ally. Eddie is a naturalized American citizen and served in the US merchant marine for 13 years. Ask the man for a story and you a likely to get a book.

Speaking of pat - and we were, weren't we? - Eddie's wife Pat does her best to keep the Wild West flavor of the Swinging Doors reigned in: the atmosphere is definitely mellow for families with children. The atmosphere is fun, the chairs comfortable, and the conversation lively.

Eddie's specialties are BBQ ribs and chicken dinners on Tuesday and Friday evenings and Saturday noon. Quality is consistently excellent, ingredients rigorously fresh.

A new offering is char-your-own steak night on Sundays, although Eddie is glad to do the honors if sitting back talking to the locals is more to your liking.

Call ahead (416-2506) for a table or take out because chow disappears quickly. Open seven days a week from 9am to closing.
