The best places locals love to eat on Jersey could stretch to dozens of restaurants thanks to the high calibre of dining to be found here. Seafood is an obvious highlight, but actually the produce found on this small island is among the finest in all of the UK and even Europe.

Thanks to the mix of British and French influences found on Jersey, the dining scene is a combination of both cultures. But these local favourites include back-to-basics food stalls and beach kiosks where a meal can be thoroughly enjoyed for little more than pocket change. This list shows you where to find Jersey's best local food.
