New Born

We honeymooned in St. Barth 1987. A friend of ours used to vacation in Colombier every year and recommended New Born. We remember the huge lobster tank and the huge escargots. Anyone have any memories? Thanks
 
Yes indeed!

Our first year on the island back in 1987 we stayed at Manapany and were told about New Born which was just down the road. Went there every year after that until they closed. We picked out our lobster from a huge tank. Frankie and David were delightful. We felt like we were dining in their house…which we were

Agreed. We also remember the huge escargot.
 
This was before my time.... where was this restaurant located and when did it close? Seems like a wonderful spot.

Located on the way to Manapany (no. 10 in the old map below) and looking through the Forum Archives it seems it closed for good in 2009. The years before the final closing had a few starts and stops as I remember.

We had no problem parking at La Langouste..you just drive around back (carefully as the turn is a bit tight) and park before you enter the restaurant on the gravel lot. It is a lot better than trying to find parking on the street in Gustavia.
Once we found the lot, parking was no problem at all.
