Le Select: Bar and grill restaurant serving American cuisine. 

Fish Corner: In the heart of Gustavia, Fish Corner is both a charming local restaurant serving primarily local fish accented by decidedly Caribbean flavors and a fish market with the catch of the day ready to take home.

Fine Off-Site~ 

Orega: In the center of Gustavia, just a few steps away from the giant anchor resting across from the Anglican Church, is Orega (“it’s mine” in Japanese). A newcomer to the gourmet scene in Saint Barth, this restaurant quickly developed a stellar reputation.  Serves authentic Japanese cuisine.  Open for dinner daily.  Reservations recommended. 

Bonito St. Barths: A casual and chic family restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would like you to consider Bonito a “second home.” Located in a beautiful traditional wood-dwelling laid on the hillside, the building was originally a large private beach house designed to guests feel comfortable, by themselves, or with family and friends.  The cuisine is French, with spiced flavors directly from South America, and of course, fish is especially honored.  Open for dinner daily.  Reservations recommended. 

L’ Isola St. Barths: Ringing the flavors and essence of Italian cuisine to St Barth, L’ISOLA is renowned for its sophisticated Italian recipes, prepared using only the very finest ingredients imported directly from Italy.
