July 10, 2014, Dinner at La Carre

Met the MacDonalds, Julie and Bruce, at La Carre. Franck has had a very good year and a very nice vacation and he is happy and enthusiastic as he comes to the tables to explain the night's menu.


The pretty orange colored amusee is a cool coconut and carrot gazpacho. Next to it is the large arugula and Parmesan salad.Below is the zucchini gazpacho with goat cheese and the tasty and crunchy pan com-paninis with tomatoes, Iberica ham and chopped tomatoes.



The special fish tonight was grouper served over mashed sweet potatoes with salad and beet puree.


The good sized Bavette was tender and delicious and came with mashed potatoes and truffle oil and also an arugula salad. The spicy sauce was served on the side


Phil had the bacon and cheese sliders




And Bruce had the wahoo tartar



The Paris dessert is a hazelnut mousse overflowing a wonderful pastry and served with a ball of rich salted caramel ice cream.
The floating island came with sliced almonds aplenty and a caramel drizzle in a bowl of chilled vanilla cream sauce


Cool breezes tonight made dinner in this unique setting a delightful dining experience.

Those desserts look especially divine!

Don't recall seeing mérou often on Saint-Barth menus. Obviously, some local species have been implicated in ciguatera poisoning.
Photos look great, guys!

looks great "mouth watering"

The colors are so bright and vivid! Have you been taking lessons from RickyG?!?!

Le Carre and Santa Fe are our favorites! The Bavette looks wonderful as well as the desserts!

I think that Didier's son Julien will LOVE digging in to the beef!

Nice meal. Our best last time

This restaurant will be called ....the one that got away...from us this year. On the TO DO list for next year!
