Since we often have our main meal midday on the beach, two of these suggestions are actually for lunch.

1. Kakao on Orient. Go on a Friday when they have their fresh fish specials. We have found that anything on their specials board is always fabulous, but their fresh fish specials are always our favorites.

2. Dreams on Nettle Bay: Another beach restaurant, and while we go there to spend the day on the beach, along with a fabulous French lunch, they are also open for dinner.

3. L'Estaminet in Grand Case: Very innovative gourmet cuisine in a lovely setting. Ina, the chef, does the most amazing things with food.

4. Hidden Forest Café: This is the restaurant at the Loterie Farms on the road to Pic Paradis. The setting is fabulous; in the treetops, and the food is excellent.
