Must-haves – Where to eat?
Seafood
Thanks to its location, St Barth is a seafood lover’s paradise.
From fresh lobster to local fish such as snapper, mahi mahi and tuna, seafood is often prepared with a French touch or grilled. This is precisely the concept behind Gyp Sea, where everything is barbecued! Then, enjoy grilled lobster, Jamaican-style jerk chicken, fresh seafood and zataar-burnt vegetables… all in a magnificent setting with your feet in the sand.
Pastries and desserts
Don’t miss the local bakeries that rival those in Paris. Croissants, éclairs, fruit tarts and macaroons are prepared daily with the finest ingredients by renowned pastry chefs. For an even more local experience, try the coconut flan!
Wines
St Barth has a strong wine culture, with expert sommeliers. You’ll find an impressive selection of French wines in the island’s restaurants and bars. What’s more, local rums, often aged and flavored, are perfect to complement a meal.
Just think of the wine cellar at Le Tamarin or the rum bar at Gyp Sea.
