Bass and Lobster

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Best of Local

On the Gorey Coast Road, just outside Saint Helier, Bass and Lobster stakes its claim as a destination for those who appreciate the finest of Jersey’s larder. The restaurant’s own website sums it up simply: “The Best of Local.” It is a promise that runs through every plate, from the freshest seafood to seasonal island ingredients.

The setting is coastal and relaxed, with outdoor seating that catches the sea air. Inside, air conditioning keeps things comfortable year-round, and the team is happy to accommodate dietary needs when advised at booking. Whether you stop by for lunch between noon and 2pm or dinner from 6pm to 8.30pm (Tuesday to Saturday), the mood is unhurried and welcoming.

A Michelin-Recommended Experience

Bass and Lobster earned a Michelin Recommended award for 2026, a nod to its consistent quality and commitment to local sourcing. The recommendation places it among Jersey’s most notable dining rooms, where the focus stays squarely on the island’s natural bounty. The name itself telegraphs the specialty: bass and lobster, caught in the surrounding waters and treated with respect.

The menu changes with the seasons and availability, offering an à la carte selection, a set menu, and a tempting list of homemade ice creams and sorbets. While the specific dishes rotate, the philosophy remains constant—straightforward, well-executed cooking that lets the ingredients speak.

Dining at Bass and Lobster

The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, with a takeaway option for those who want to enjoy their meal elsewhere. The team welcomes families and groups, and the atmosphere strikes a balance between smart casual and genuinely friendly. It is the kind of place where the staff know the catch of the day and can guide you through the menu without fuss.
