Christopher Columbus added St. Barthelemy, or St. Barts to his collection in 1493, but the French soon stepped in. Today, the chic Caribbean island - officially a department of France - is a popular winter getaway for people from mainland France, the rest of Europe and North America. Keep in shape and walk between attractions or get a rental car to see more of the island. Beachgoers can choose between strands such as Grand Saline, if nude sunbathing appeals, or shady, isolated Colombier Beach.

Island-chic with a refined atmosphere, On The Rocks is spectacularly set with views over the coral reefs and beyond. Master Chef Jean-Georges offers an elegant and creative menu - a culinary highlight not to be missed. Exquisite cocktails at sunset and an aperitif snack menu available from 5 pm.
Beautiful food... Yikes! Fussy one year old placed in a high chair right next to our romantic, waterfront table for two. The exclusive adult night ended quickly. We're parents too, but chic & hip don't combine with babies/children. We completed our meal and left quickly.

Casual cuisine with a light contemporary touch will is served for lunch at the Sand Bar, perfectly located on the immaculate white sandy beach of St Jean and offering a flawless view of the turquoise sea. For simply perfect dinners the Sand Bar Night is the coolest spot right now right on the water's edge where guests are invited to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine with an inspired nod towards Italy.
A great place for a long lunch.
Great selection of food, drink, and staff always helpful.
Can't say much more really!

It is our second time at Eddy’s after trying it a couple years ago. We love SBH so much and Eddy’s is a staple, we wanted it to work out, but the restaurant just isn’t for us.
Pros: Eddy is still there being a gracious host and talking to all the guests. The grounds are classic and beautiful. It started to rain and they shuffled everyone in quickly and seamlessly.
Cons: the menu for vegetarians is basically nothing. Both visits I really tried to encourage them to be inventive with a dish because of no selection. Instead, they just take a meat or fish centered dish, and remove the protein. I ended up with a sad plate of plain white noodles with bland pesto sauce on the side. It was a bit strange and we also felt pretty rushed by the waiter.
The place is beautiful and seems to be quite popular. But I think if you enjoy or require vegetarian fare and want unique and inventive flavors, this may not be the best selection. Black Ginger and Lisoletta is very close near by and the food is terrific for veggies and those spice and flavor seeking junkies!

Recommendation for an easy going dinner in St. Barths. The tiny island can be a little pricy with a lot of old Euro attitude so it was nice to have a laid
Back outing with friendly staff, good mojitos and god food. Favourites at the table were the grilled calamari appetizer- a little chewy but the herb butter was tasty. Cod fritters were good as well. Unanimous - Must try the tuna tartare with guacamole which was perfectly seasoned and the shrimp and chicken stir fry which had just the right amount of spice. Take a pass in the beef - well cook but sinewy - the ceviche needed a little salt. Main dishes around 25-30 euros. Crème brûlé served in a long dish.

We had lunch at Nikki Beach and were impressed. I had the sushi an my wife had the lobster pasta. Sushi portion was good size but lobster pasta little small for price. Both were very tasty. But the people watching, atmosphere and service made up for the cost. Definitely a happening place near Eden Rock.

From the service to every aspect of the meal this restaurant is excellent. We cannot say enough about every aspect of the dinner experience. The meal is very expensive, but the quality is very high. The cocktails were exceptionally well prepared. We had pasta, risotto, and veal and a number of appetizers. Each dish was excellent and well presented. The service was impeccable and well paced.

On Day 1 in St Barths our friends took us to La Langouste for a lobster lunch prepared French style. La Langouste is located inside the Baie des Anges Hotel on Flamands Beach. A beautiful setting and the restaurant is open air next to a small pool.
Service was excellent and we ordered some Sancerre to start. The lobsters were shown to us before cooking them, which added to the anticipation of the tasty meal.
Upon their arrival, we were served small accompanying portions of potato and vegetables. It was so well done. Minimalist and delicious. A perfect first lunch in St Barths.
Afterwards we walked out to Flamands Beach which is right off the steps of the hotel and had a swim and played some paddle tennis. Couldn't ask for a better St Barths day. Highly recommend La Langouste for lunch!
