Mapo is in Villa Créole in St Jean. When coming from the airport it’s in the shops on the right just before Le Piment.

Its a nice spot and the owners are lovely. Food isn’t fancy but solid cooking. The eggplant fritters are really good if you like eggplant which I love. Great value for the money too. Most times I have been there weren’t a lot of English speaking tourists.

Reasonable price . . . menu sounds good . . . very nice hostess / chef proprietors. Intimate (though quite bright) indoor space . . . outdoor terrace is “chill.” In my exposure, the restaurant has a very “local,” young, & casual clientele. I hope they succeed.
