La Cantina (opens at 8 a.m.

Lunch -- Harbour's Saladerie
Wall House
Santa Fe
Sand Bar

Le Gaiac
On the Rocks

Sushi -- Baz Bar

Le Tamarin

Scene -- Nikki Beach

Special Occasion Dinner -- Le Gaiac
On the Rocks

Can't Miss Dinner -- Andy's Hideaway (casual)

Local Favorite -- L 'Entr 'act
Maya's
Le Piment

Bar Off the Beaten Track -- the track is pretty well beaten -- this is an 8 square mile island --
but try Do Brasil or Route de Boucaniers

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great suggestions above....here are some more:

For breakfast don't miss Petit Colombe bakery, several locations with amazing pastry and good lunch items for beach picnics.

A classic/don't miss lunch is a "cheeseburger in Paradise" at Le Select. The food is just OK but the atmosphere is fun.

Do Brasil has a great lunch and is on Shell Beach

Eddy's for French/Asian and Pirpiri Palace for classic French and BBQ are our two favorites for dinner on the island. They are both locally owned places.

Off the beaten path I would recommend Wishing Well (Chez Rolande) in Flammands for Creole. Cash only.

Even though the island is small you will NOT go hungry for good food!

headed down there in april as well. it has been a few years but i would say wallhouse for dinner instead of lunch. it is without a doubt my favorite restaurant of anywhere. wishing well is a great lunch and l'esprit saline good for dinner. understand that its pricey in st barth and you may wish to go to rotisserie in st. jean and pick up a baguette some salads, cheese and a bottle of wine and just head back to your domicile for a homey lunch or dinner for a break either for lunch or dinner.
i cannot recommend le gaic. very $$$$ and not worth it. do brasil is very cool.

Hi Beer4Breakfast and Poppy-

I LOVE St. Barth's! it's one of our favorite places for R&R. We loved it so much that we got married there. It's a very special place. We were just there a few weeks ago. The food, the people, the island.... amazing. I completely agree with Poppy's suggestion on L'Esprit Salines... It's now one of our new go-tos. I think it's a top pick for the locals as well. Also, be certain to have cocktails at Le Sereno.I just wrote an article on some of my faves there. I hope it helps: http://favabeansandchianti.com/2010/0...

Enjoy!
