L'Isola?

[cassidain]

of course, we'd all prefer to descend the gangway (of our yachts tied up along the quay) past our security staff and then a pleasant stroll over to our favorite Gustavia restaurants rather than dealing with valets or taxis, but alas . . .

LOL! On the same page. Let me know if I can help!

If you're actually in the market in Corossol (don't make a special trip) and you see the Alizee Nature Caraibes coconut massage oil, sure, I would love if you could pick it up for me. But no worries.... It's not urgent.

I'll be back in three weeks and will check when I'm in the 'hood!

What is Bonito valet charge ?

I haven’t recently been to Bonito, but the valet charge at restaurants using the “Park & Chill” valet service seems to have crept up to €25.

Dennis, is the P&C valet a service for a particular restaurant or for the general parking public ?

 

[Risa]

The valet at Bonito is for Bonito, 25€. I noticed Nikki was the same 25€. (I found parking myself.)

Tamarin, I believe, was only tip based. But when they messed up with my car keys, when I tried to give them a tip, the guy refused it (they left my keys in another car and when I went to retrieve my car, someone had to go to Gustavia to get the keys, while I waited). At Le Toiny, I think it was 10€ and I gave him 15€

Park & Chill was incorporated in 2014 and seems to be majority owned by a Mathieu Boughaba, a metro from the Paris suburbs. And, it seems. a pretty smart guy.

Their website indicates they contract with these in-town restos for valet service: Bonito, Mamo, Le Café, Petite Plage, Bar des Prés, Bagatelle, and La Guérite.

 

[MichaelG]

My guess is that they must rent (or perhaps own) empty lots where they park the cars. I'm glad they only work with the sort of restaurants I prefer to avoid.

have you dined at Mamo ?

 

[MichaelG]

nope. haven't eaten Italian on SBH since the '90s. Topolino? Sapore di Mare?

It looks like Monsieur Boughaba has a close relationship with St. Tropez investor / owners of this list of restaurants! I wonder if Pablo & Lucali will be next to be served by Park & Chill?

Bonjour, Michael! You no doubt have numerous opportunities to eat very fine Italian cuisine when away from SBH. I, nonetheless, suggest that you try Mamo on SBH. It is Italian gastronomy . . . in a beautiful setting . . . with attentive service. Elegant, sophisticated, & Epicurean.

Ahh, Sapore di Mare. Worth the nerve wracking one lane trip up to Lurin area in the dark.

 

[MichaelG]

I agree. And the back story is even better than its food was!
