The best restaurants Gustavia

Dining at Orega is a unique experience in the Caribbean. Chef Clément Laffitte blends elegant Japanese cuisine with French techniques. His challenge: to sublimate unknown recipes of Japanese gastronomy. The research is as much in the surprise effect at the tasting as in the breathtaking presentation of the plates. The meringue pie with yuzu is excellent and perfectly illustrates the success of this Franco-Japanese mix. The menu changes regularly, depending on the chef's inspiration or the catch of the day

Hungry, abstain! Here, it's by the meter that pizza is shared! In a chic roots setting, comfortably nestled on benches, generous portions of pizza are served on the wooden coffee tables.

To accompany these specialities, the restaurant recommends very good wines. Cutting long pizzas is a real moment to share!

As its name suggests, the Shellona is located on the beach with shells! A soft and relaxed atmosphere that invites you to close your eyes and soak up the place: a large terrace on fine white sand, a wonderful cuisine prepared by chef Yiannis Kioroglou (one of the young prodigies of Greek gastronomy) and a magnificent view of the sea. Live music will punctuate your meal and soon you will feel like dancing with your feet in the water. Share this communicative gaiety by tasting seafood or Greek mezze.

A small paradise of lush greenery in the heart of Gustavia! Spending time at Eddy's is like taking an intimate break in a magical setting. A very beautiful space between open-air layout and wooden tables isolated by tropical plants. The place is full of charm, bucolic and the natural noise of locusts and small frogs accompanies you throughout the meal. The family wants this haven of peace to remain friendly.

In the same place, there is also the Casa Lounge for a drink and a nightclub to party. All in all, it's a great way to spend an evening!

The famous Champs-Elysées brasserie invites itself to the Caribbean. At the heart of the Carl Gustaf hotel, the rare wooden terrace of Fouquet's overlooks the entire port of Gustavia. Architects Gilles & Boissier have adapted the tradition of French elegance to the relaxed atmosphere of Saint-Barth. In the kitchen, three-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire has created an exceptional menu, revisiting the great classics of Parisian gastronomy, such as poached lobster medallion with butter and ginger, or semi-cooked tuna with foie gras and shiso.

An exceptional location for a panorama that is just as exceptional. A refined decor in which you will appreciate a South American cuisine orchestrated by a Peruvian chef. An avant-garde cuisine with a great delicacy. Here, the cuisine is artistic. Peruvian ceviche and tiraditos are accompanied in some dishes by delicate foods like truffles.
