Best Creme Brûlée we ever had!
Amy, I agree. Was always our favorite meal, whether just the two of us or when The Who.e family was thereBest Creme Brûlée we ever had!
Of course, the host extraordinaire was our long time friend . . . later of Andy's Hideaway and today at Les Bananiers -- Thierry Brethome.[/FONT][/COLOR]
Does anyone remember when it was called "Adam Vincent!" In terms of "best," I would vote for the Grand Mariner soufflé. Of course, the host extraordinaire was our long time friend . . . later of Andy's Hideaway and today at Les Bananiers -- Thierry Brethome.
I remember these little half baked molten chocolate brownies. This would have been late 90s.This is the restaurant I miss most. Found these cleaning out.

Many years ago...I had a nice conversation with a young man sitting next to me on a flight from St Martin to St Bart's. The conversation turned to food/restaurants on STB's....and it turns out that he was one of the proprietors of Vincent Adam (I do not remember his name) ..he suggested that we visit the restaurant....we did....we were treated very nicely (maybe we were treated a little "special"), food was wonderful and needless to say it became a favorite of ours.... thanks for bringing back memories!!!
Wonderful story . . . St. Barths great memories are often made in such serendipitous meetings!
funny you say that. my mother thought so as well, and asked Gilles for the recipe, bought the little square dishes and a "brûleur" and made it once, realized how many calories were in it and never made it again... not to say she didn't order it again while in SBH !
Gilles gave me the recipe as well (and I still have it) and his comment was "yours won't taste like this because you can't get French cream". Of course it didn't taste the same and I always wondered what made French cream better! He even took me into the kitchen (a small closet!) to see how they "scorched" the top of the creme brûlée.
I also asked him one year why no restaurants served sweetbreads - he told me to come back on a certain day and he
would have some - we did and he did and they were fabulous!
Wonderful memories.
