St. Peter Port Views
With its cobbled streets, picturesque marina and historic gardens, it is easy to see why St. Peter Port is considered one of Europe's prettiest harbour towns. Guernsey's capital has been a busy port since Roman times and today its gentle bustle spills out onto the vibrant squares from informal cafes and gastronomic restaurants. The restaurants listed below are some great choices of places to eat of this picturesque harbour.
Le Nautique
Le Nautique Restaurant is a truly exceptional seafood restaurant at the heart of Guernsey's picturesque St. Peter Port. World-class cuisine, excellent service and a perfect view of the marina, St. Peter Port Harbour and the smaller islands make Le Nautique Restaurant the perfect venue for all occasions, be it an intimate dinner for two, or a celebration for forty. With its special menus for large groups and festive occasions, Le Nautique should be your first choice for dining out in Guernsey, whatever the size of your party.
The Boathouse
Perched on the edge of the harbour, The Boathouse has a cool continental vibe and out on the back deck you will find a heavenly sun trap where you can watch the world go by.

Located on the ground floor of the former Coach House at Hotel de Havelet, Copenhagen Bar & Grill enjoys fine views of St. Peter Port, Castle Cornet and Havelet Bay. They serve lunch, afternoon tea, light bites and dinner seven days a week. The name Copenhagen derives from the favourite horse of the first Duke of Wellington, the new Bar & Grill still has many nods to its equestrian past which you will see dotted around the interior.
