Pearl Beach — a crowded holiday time

[cec1]

The restaurant was “packed!” I was fortunate to get a small corner table from which to view people . . . those not at the official Collectivitié ceremonies. It was largely a family-oriented crowd, with everyone enjoying the afternoon in his / her own way!

. . . and my special way!

Pearl Beach is smart to stay open - just about the only beach place at this time of year!

. . . same goes, I think, for Le Repaire, La Casina, & L’Esprit!

Yes for the non-beach places, absolutely... very smart - Le Répaire was packed last night - like it usually is for Carnival, NY Eve, July 14 etc....

That could sting a bit for people who don’t understand the metric system. I remember when the price was €5-€6 per 100 grams.

I know Pearl Beach is very nice but frankly the most expensive grilled lobster on the Island...

I suppose that Pearl Beach is in the position of being able to maintain premium pricing because of its beach front real estate & consistently “full house” occupancy. It’s a truism, I’m sure, that prices rise to what the market will bear . . . especially when the product offered is rare / exclusive.

Perhaps. But, I’d probably do Mahi burger at PB and grilled langouste at FC.
YMMV

Actually I have seen it as high as 20 and 26 euros per 100 grams so Pearl Beach not the most expensive! the funny thing is that in the old days you could apparently walk along the shore of the lagoon in Grand Cul de Sac and simply pick up lobsters and they were mostly used as bait in fish traps - not a high-end luxury item !

La Langouste seems to remain the most reasonable?

I just checked my receipts from our May trip and La Langouste was also 11€ le 100 grammes.

We had grilled lobster with small accompaniments at La Langouste last week for 11Euro per 100 gr.

To each of you enjoying the favorable pricing of La Langouste & Fish Corner, I’m happy for you. I’ve also found pleasure in the food & ambiance of these venues.

Had a great dinner there last week.
