Food for Thought

​St Jean Bay

Light international cuisine by day, delectable tasting plates by night, and the only place on the island to enjoy fantastic wholewheat crust pizza, with local grilled fish and deliciously-light salads, all on iconic Eden Rock's pristine white sands. 

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

A clean 'coastal chic' venue, serving simple yet elegant Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, widely considered one of the island's best dining venues. If you're there during a full moon, book ahead, as the views are spectacular. Check out the open-air oyster shell bar, and the renowned its Sunday brunch. 

Open for lunch and dinner.

Black Ginger, Gustavia

The first exclusively and authentically- Thai restaurant to open in St Barths, Black Ginger is the ultimate reference for the zingy spiciness of the Siam peninsula's cuisine, serving everyone's favourites, as well as more unconventional dishes – all creatively concocted by a trio of Thai chefs. 

Open for dinner (closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays).

The sultry Asian-inspired On the Rocks is spectacularly set high on the rock itself, with panoramic, floodlit views of St Jean Bay, the coral reefs and beyond. Start with cool cocktails at sunset, and follow with gourmet fusion fare masterminded by Master Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, washed down with something from the international wine list – perhaps one of the organic vintages or specially-selected wines from Jean-Georges' native Alsace region. 

Open for dinner.

Bonito St Barths, Gustavia

Sophisticated, cosy, casual and contemporary. There's no air-con, but stunning views over the yacht-filled harbour more than make up for it. One of the top three venues on the island, and home to one of its best ceviche bars, two multi-talented mixologists, and a late-night lounge scene… Bonito is what happens when you cross exquisite French flavours with Latino living. 

Open for dinner, closed Wednesdays.

Another of the island's top three dining experiences, St Barth's most authentic and refined Italian restaurant is just steps from the harbour. Its sophisticated recipes combine the flavours of the Amalfi Coast with local seafood, so expect pasta with clams, grilled Spanish lobster, whole fish and burrata, all brought to you by a fantastic Italian team. 

Open for dinner.

Bagatelle St Barth, Gustavia Harbour

A big hit in New York, Bagatelle has a second location along the waterfront in Gustavia: a real party place and trendy brasserie featuring French bistro-style cuisine with Mediterranean accents and a relaxed ambience, perfect for sunset drinks or festive feasts. 

Open for dinner (closed Sundays).
