A second vote for l'Astrolabe in the Esmeralda resort. Had both breakfast and dinner there, and both were excellent.

I'll also vouch for Le Taitu. It's a "must visit " for us!

Agree that you need to visit Mark's Place.

I would also add Sale e Pepe and Emilio's to my list. As well as Mario's.

Lots of mixed reviews for Sale & Pepe. Might want to do a search here before you add it to your list. My two times there was less than stellar.

Sale & Pepe is so big and popular , that he is working to open a bigger restaurant on the Waterfront in Simpson Bay in January 2019. Go figure .

Maybe he should take care of what he has now and address those issues others complained about before he opens another. What ever. Good luck to him but we won't be trying it again.

The best dish I had all week was at la piment in orient village it was their 7 hour sliced roasted lamb leg la Provence it was a inch thick slice with a great caramelized crust and the inside just melted in your mouth with the with collagen in the meat perfectly broken down and the meat juices and the fat just melding perfectly. A truly memorable dish

Well maybe they read some of the reviews and comments on ttol and took corrective actions. Nice if the did.

I agree about le Taitu. He should advertise somewhere. We take new people there & they all return. Excellent Food, service & ambiance for intimate dinners.

I wish people would stop knocking them.

Its good for some and not others. It's not knocking them they are just stating their experiences. Both of ours were bad.
