Because my husband’s birthday was yesterday, we decided to do Nikki Beach with friends then instead of our usual Sunday. So for today I had reservation for lunch for the two of us at Shellona. And we had an absolutely fabulous afternoon. They tried to seat us at a table right by the hostess desk and I’m like hmm, could we move in a bit further? Without a blink they led us to a table in the corner. With our toes in the sand we kicked back and took in the scene. We told our waiter that we weren’t in any hurry and he said pas de probleme - unlike Nikki where we were clearly told that we’d have to clear out by 3 pm (but that’s another story!)
After some rosé we ordered our meals. Kalamakos avec poulet for me and Kalamakos with minced lamb for Rob. OMIGOD, what awesome dishes. The pita is something that I’ve never experienced before, and the meat, yogurt, onions and tomato were absolutely fabulous!
Highly recommend! Although I will say that the table might make a big difference. We saw a number of people being seated at tables with backless stools and maneuvering to get out of the sun. I think the fact that we finagled our way to a back corner with a bench seat made a world of difference.
Ahhhhh St Barts!
