Whether you're a fan, or not, I think most would agree that Maya's is one of the most iconic restaurants on St Barth. It's been around more than 30 years under the same ownership, and its reopening signals another landmark in the Island's recovery from Irma. We were there last night to help them celebrate, and to enjoy a typically great dinner.
Maya, Randy, and Dora, et moi.
Don't know how she pulls it off, but once again Maya was able to get the reddest and tastiest tomatoes from Guadeloupe which were topped with slices of mango and fresh basil.
I had the butterfly poached shrimp and avocado salad
Henry had the diced fino tartar..a little fish that he said was quite good with shredded lettuce and served with toasted baguette slices
The classic tender and delicious filet of beef topped with flavored butter came with sides of mashed potatoes and fresh carrot slices and broccoli
It was good to get to enjoy Maya's chicken dish with rice and vegetables. The whole little chicken was moist and had been marinated overnight and served with crispy skin and tender meat.
Carole enjoyed the large grilled scallops prepared with capers and sage
MAYA NOTES. The new bread baskets were handcrafted by island women and the bread was cigar shaped whole grain..fresh and soft and served with great olive oil.
I was happy to see the house cat was safe and back on the job and now has a brand new name, Fiona is now "Mr Fiona" and he also liked the chicken. Just sayin'
