Heading back to St Barth - FINALLY - next week. Made reservations at all of our old favorites, and also at Fouquet's (the new Carl Gustav?). Has anyone eaten there? Thoughts?

Carl Gustaf was great for sunset drinks and the piano player. Fouquets was out of our budget. We went to Sante Fe for one dinner and two lunches and had great service and very good food and drinks.

We love Fouquets (though thought it better in 2020 than this post November). The view, food and service are all fantastic. We've gone twice each of our last two visits.

Good information.

You should do a trip report.

Ate there in December. Great Dover Sole. The portion could be shared by Two People. And the profiteroles were exquisite !!

I knew that had your name written all over it. He had me at the Dover sole.

Fouquet with the Big Guy and you; Dover sole on your plate, profiteroles on mine, is on my 2022 list of “must do’s”!

And mashed potatoes with butter...recipe has equal amounts of each I think. So good!

Gram,
Having the great fortune to enjoy Fouquet's delicious DS with Amy (while the guys dined on steak) was a highlight of our trip. Those mashed potatoes melt in your mouth.
I know you will enjoy it as well!

IMO potentially taking top spot on the island now. Had had Tamarin but thought it went slightly downhill right before Fouquets opened
