In an impulsive move last week, I detoured out of Gustavia to Corossol at lunch . . . hopeful of finding a seat at Nyama. The patio seating was full, but I was warmly (no pun intended) welcomed to a wonderful indoor table under the AC . . . refreshing!
The restaurant is cheerfully colorful & inviting . . . as well as refined in its Pan-Asian cuisine, emphasizing Vietnamese fundamentals.
i enjoyed a starter of Nems with chicken, which I wrapped in crisp, fresh Romain lettuce leaves
Main course was lightly “dressed” noodles with peanuts & shrimp . . . a lovely, light mid-afternoon choice.
Knowing Chef Clément & his very sweet, charming wife, Túti, from their prior lives at Orega (now the location of Mamo . . . previously Le Sapotillier &, briefly, “B4”), there's always a welcoming greeting when I see them. It’s a cultural style,, nonetheless, that every visitor will feel as the Vietnamese translation of Nyama intends — “Mom’s House!”
. . . off the “beaten path,” but a very special place for food, service, gracious staff, & authenticity in its platform.
