Mint56 Brasserie & Bar, St Peter Port
Our Puffin Rating
5 out of 5 Puffins — our highest rating. Mint56 is one of St Peter Port's most characterful and consistent restaurants. Handcrafted food using local Guernsey ingredients, an exceptional wine list, and a full cocktail bar — this is proper evening dining done with genuine care.
Some restaurants announce themselves loudly. Mint56 doesn't need to. Step inside and the tone is set immediately — a charming, cosy interior that feels genuinely looked after, warm without trying too hard, and the kind of place where you settle in quickly and stop thinking about anywhere else.
The menu covers serious ground without being overwhelming. From classic French-leaning starters to confident mains — think swordfish loin with samphire, roast rump of lamb, and a Guernsey bean jar that's as local as it gets — the kitchen clearly takes its sourcing seriously. Fresh produce, well-handled. The attention to detail on the plate is evident throughout, and the variety means there's something for everyone at the table without it ever feeling like a menu that's spread itself too thin.
The drinks list is equally considered. A wine list that spans four continents — from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc to Georgian Saperavi — alongside a solid cocktail menu and a full bar. This is a place that takes what's in your glass as seriously as what's on your plate.
The staff make it. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food — the kind of service that feels effortless because it's rooted in actually caring. That combination of a warm room, great produce, and people who know what they're doing is harder to pull off than it looks. Mint56 makes it look easy.
Dinner only, Monday to Saturday. Book ahead — this one fills up.
