Favorite Dishes

If ever there were a case of de gustibus non est disputandum, this would be it, but nevertheless I'm going to ask.

We'll be on the island in a week and have reservations for dinner at the following restaurants:

Côté Port

L'Esprit

Maya's

Tamarin

Santa Fé

Meat & Potatoes

I'd be interested in hearing about your favorite appetizers and/or main courses at any (one, or more, or all) of these restaurants.

Thanks.

Dan

The tomato tart at Santa Fe.

Different than the prior version but equally delicious!

If Côté Port is running a Charolais Beef special, it's worth trying. Otherwise, Salade Pilou, salad with melted goat cheese, grilled shrimp, and warm bacon dressing - get the small size unless you have a big appetite.

Lobster Cassolette at La Gloriette

Oh,yeah...+1

To add, although it's filling, it a reasonable size dish...not a complete gut bomb.

We used to get the gazpacho at Santa Fe "all the time" when Manu was at the helm--served in an enormous martini glass and delicious on a warm day. Hope it is still on the menu in July. And Cote Port had a lovely steak with a Roquefort sauce last year, but I don't remember the exact name. Fabulous!!

In no particular order, except for the first one:

A Curry and Coconut Milk Soup (I can't recall the name) at Black Ginger
