How about the parrot at Trois Forces? O’Corail- is it coming back? PR’s Italian restaurant at Manypany pre remodel- was it called - Fellini maybe?
Definitely do, Nancy . . . one of the first places where Wendy & I ate on SBH. Wonderful, decadent, rich, traditional French cooking. Long before Maya came along & forever changed the culinary scene.
”Dark,” yes . . . smoky (as in from-the-kitchen) & romantic. Definitely crepe caramel! One of the places that said to me, when advising that they didn’t take credit cards . . . “Oh! You’re a guest of Brook Lacour — we’ll send her the bill!”We dined there on our 1st trip when staying just below Castelet at Bertrand Lentz's place. Just remember very dark interior, probably rack of lamb or chops, creme caramel.
One of the nites dining there, Claudia Schiffer was too !Kevin just reminded me of Au Port. Before the new post office was built. Sitting on the veranda eating the best lamb medallions in the world.
Agree with Amy,
FACT: 20+ years of coming to this island....my good friend Dennis Carlton is the finest host (and nicest guy) ever to hold a gathering on St Barth
Was this about 2006, Normandie grand opening?

In reference to Bart’s question about Chez Pompi and Kevin’s comment—we had lunch there a couple of times in the 90s. It was on the left side of the road as one headed from Marigot towards Toiny. Pompi was a character—-a prolific artist and the little restaurant was intended to showcase his bright and colorful paintings. I don’t remember a water view but the house is still there. It would be easy to stop and check it out.
