We headed into Gustavia for dinner at Cote Port/ We sat right at the opening to the harbor and enjoyed a mild breeze throughout the meal.
For starters we shared a terrine of creamy duck fois gras with slices of toasted multi grain bread and thick pineapple chutney..sorry, no photo

I had the rack of lamb, medium. The dish came sliced into lovely individual chops and the vegetables were sauteed eggplant chunks and slices of red pepper

Phil had the sliced duck breast in a maple honey glaze and a side of frites.

We chatted with Herve and the friendly staff and enjoyed our first trip into town. Construction is planned for that section of Gustavia, but no dates have been set. The owner hopes to still be there come this winter. The new restaurant will probably be located closer to the Post Office when he finally has to relocate.

It was a most enjoyable and tasty start for our summer visit. The restaurant filled with locals, a big birthday party group, and other friendly tourists.

We finished dinner and the night with wonderful rhum vanille...ahhh, St Barths!

Sorry about that Andy. I clicked "post" button instead of the preview Button. Everything should be there now.

Phil
 
Oh, my! It all looks and sounds just divine! Tell me, how does the duck compare to Saladerie's or Creperie's? Just curious....
 
Veal chops or big lamb chops??

Your question reminded me of something that I once found on the Specials Board at Le Repaire - Carré de Veau, Rack of Veal, baby Veal Chops. Delicious.

As to Hervé and his hopes for this winter, I hope the same for him.
 
So good to see you back where you belong, Amy!

I'd be hard pressed to decide between the duck and rack of lamb (might have to go back two nights in a row!).
 
PAs for me, I plan on becoming a regular there..the staff, the food, the water viewof the harbor and the boats all work well.
