    Hideaway, Maya’s and Meat and Potatoes.

    This is harder than it looks. So many have closed or changed hands. Oldies from first visits in the early 90s would be
    The original Francois Plantation, The Lafayette Cub and Sapotillier up to PaCri in Saline.

    Sapotilier With the tree, Au Port with the view and lamb medallions, Chez Francine on the beach, Piperi Palace, Eddy’s Ghetto, the old Wall House Vincent Adam, Marigot Bay with the lobster, Le Flamboyant with the best lobster stew dinner. La Marine we went there for mussels and there were none so we had great pizza. I forget the name of the resto that preceded Nikki Beach.

    Le Pelican preceded Nikki, I think.

    Second the prior reference to La Mandala with the indoor pool…

    It was Le Pelican, and that side of St Jean was called Pelican Beach by some.

    Chez Joe. Sandwichs à la langouste. Ti Punch with muddled Maraschinos. J’adorais.

    Someone please remind me where in town this was. I’m a bit muddled myself at this point

    I’m a bit fuzzy too, but I think the progression was Chez Joe, Chez Domi, Victoire Boutique/Cafe Victoire, Barts, Lounge Barons de Rothschild. Rue General de Gaulle, on the left, before the former Pipiri Palace on the right.

    Vincent Adam with Valerie from Belgium. The gastronomic restaurant on top of Eden Rock. Le Vietnam and Angelique. Definitely also Marigot Bay Club with the waiters swimming out to retrieve lobsters! Case de L'Ile at Ile de France with Patrick. Saline with Peace, when it was open. The briefly lived Ociela. Le Colonial.

    Maya's and La Gloriette. Also Hideaway. Got to meet Andy on our first visit and unfortunately his last summer. Not the same the following year.

    Piripiri, Gloriette and Wall House were regulars on our first few trips. Great memories from all 3. Honorable mention to the Hideaway as well.

    Does it still have a pianist and sunset drinks without having dinner there?

    Maya’s, La Mandela, Sapotelier (loved the baby turbot), Gloriette, Hideaway, New Born, and Le Gaiac for their Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner. La Marine was also good.

    Still a great place for sunset cocktails and tapas. Alas no piano and no guita either. Background music respectful of conversational levels. You can stay for dinner or move on from there.

    The sun setting and the lights of the harbor coming on..Priceless. I also like the 7pm church bells often ringing.

    I'll add a new one - - Chez Pompei. I barely remember the place from 1994, but I loved all the artwork in there and I think the view was pretty good too.

    Le Sapotillier, La Gloriette, Top of the Rock (ER), Le Carré in Gustavia, and of course, The Hideaway. And our chef at Le Guanahani, Philippe Masseglia along with Charles Darden on the piano.
