You may recognize one of the "pilots" as a famous poster on this forum - julia, front right! You have have also noticed the L'Avion shirts around the island. The gentleman on the left is the entrepreneur that created those shirts, hence the pilot costumes.

RDC...Wonderful shots! Do Brazil is my personal favorite spot for lunch...don't you love that whole experience there?
Gotta get to Santa Fe, the food shot looks yummy...Were you able to get your vanilla rhum home safely? We kept meaning to stop by to purchase some but never timed it right. Guess I need to dig out andynap's recipe and make my own this summer!
Thanks for the pics.

We just packed in our suitcase and it made the trip safe & sound all the way back to Charlotte. We just wish we had gotten two of the big bottles. The girl at the Pinta actually wrapped it up with bubble wrap and then in paper bag. She did a really good job.

I did my 50th birthday at St Barts and 60th birthday at St Martin.
Definitely a neat thing to do for big occasions.
Nice report

Jeff,
We were away, celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary, so I was off-line. Otherwise, I would have fessed-up to being in the photo JEK took at Le Repaire on Carnaval Day, 2008. As JEK noted, we were dressed in "costume" for Carnaval--outfits, cleverly designed to represent l'avion, by Dr. Norman, who created the clothing line. Norman's wife, Susan, is in the front, left side and my husband, Dan, is behind me on the right. In fact, passers-by thought we were real pilots and questioned why we were drinking wine before flying.
We usually dress up for Carnaval and in 2002 and 2004 built floats to participate in the parade, Since those were Olympic years, we were the St. Barth Bobsled team and the St. Barth Rowing team respectively. When not in the parade, we choose to watch it from Le Repaire. Getting back to the original mention of the restaurant in the Trip Report....LR is consistently good and rarely crowded (except at Carnaval). Proof positive is how many of the island residents one sees there regularly.

Julia,
I've always considered the number of locals who patronize a restaurant to be a good sign of both quality and price.
