First Pablo, now Barry

[Leon]

I did not know Bonito has expertise in Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese) cuisine, but now you have it.

Although I have to mention the history of ever changing establishments there is not very impressive.

Not clear of the location.

formerly known as Sky Bar and most recently Le Refuge with the raclette on the menu - right below Bonito I believe...

Was there once a Lebanese or Moroccan restaurant, by chance, or was it in the current Mamo Michelangelo place before Orega? We dined there once and it was very interesting place and food was really authentic. But then it disappeared without the trace.

One of those Japanese Peruvians became Peru's President. Although he ended up not very well.

No, neither.

Mamo (and the former Orega) are a block or so down on Rue Samuel Fahlberg, across from Eddie’s. Barry is just before the downhill intersection from Bonito to the main road.

Barry is the last door on the left as you descend down from Bonito (on Rue Lubin Brin) almost to the lowest street level (just before you reach Rue Samuel Fahlberg). Those with older memories may remember it from decades ago as L’Ananas. It’s also been Le Strand and Ociela, and probably others that I don’t recall at the moment.

Thanks Kevin! I think it was Ociela that I am trying recall. Was it Lebanese/Moroccan restaurant?

Thanks, Kevin . . . remembering L’Ananas. The others either were too short lived &/or only open after my bedtime!

I did not go there (too many restaurants, too little time), so I don’t know.

I remember that there was often a congregation of Siamese cats at that Ananas spot. They were there many years.

"There's no better a place for dinner than at Bonito in Gustavia. Known for its menu of seafood-centric Peruvian ceviches, tiraditos, and anticuchos this unpretentious yet highly sophisticated restaurant is a great way to end a short trip to St. Barts."

yes Ociela was the hookah themed version of that locale...

 

[Leon]

There is something about that location, so the establishments are not staying for long time there (at least on my watch), like a year or two, with the exception of Ananas maybe.
