But only L'ardoise has an exceptional closureMore and more restaurants are closing for seasonal holidays. Today, if I were on-island, the Beef Cheeks at Côté Port would be my choice.
I liked Le Diamant when we ate there years ago but after they closed and then reopened we haven't been back. Out of sight is appropriate here.I ate lunch at Le Diamant one time in the past year. It's a distinctly "local" place -- somewhat like The Hideaway at lunch. Food was very good & quite inexpensive. For visitors interested in trying something off the beaten path, without the glamour / sophistication of popular venues, I recommend it. The proprietress is a very nice St. Barths woman & is working hard to sustain a small business.
