Three other restaurants with langouste tanks are La Langouste in Flamands, Santa Fe in Lurin, and Pipiri Palace in Gustavia. Au Regal in Corossol has 1/2 grilled langouste on the menu, and Chez Rolande/Wishing Well in Flamands has fricassee or grilled langouste on their menu. The least expensive langouste on the island is the Langouste Sandwich at Chez Yvon in Anse des Cayes, a bargain at €5.50.
Your knowledge of the island continues to amaze me!

I love the Taïwana for Sunday Lunch, but I don't ever order their Langouste. I much prefer their steamed Mahi.
Living in New England, I have the luxury of what the French call Homard, New England Lobster with claws, which is worlds apart from Caribbean Langouste. While I will sometimes order Langouste on St Barth, such as the 1/2 Langouste Bellevue at Santa Fe, it's rare that I do so. My local grocery will even steam the local lobsters for me. At less than $15 each, cooked, they're much more enticing and cost effective to me than the Caribbean rock lobsters, which are at 3+ times the price, and for what I consider to be a lesser quality product.

Great picture Andy.
