Fodor's Review:

As Piaf and Aznavour compete with croaking tree frogs in a trellised, plant-filled room lighted by straw lamps, it's easy to imagine yourself in a tropical St. Tropez. From the small but select menu, begin with escargots in a lovely tomato, onion, and pepper sauce (sop it up with the marvelous home-baked bread) or the ultimate in hedonism (and expense), lobster-foie gras millefeuille; then segue into tiger shrimp swimming in gossamer vanilla-lobster sauce or duck breast wrapped with mango in rice sheet floating in rum-tamarind sauce. Gustavo Belaunde (he's Peruvian of Catalan extraction) elicits fresh, delicate, almost ethereal flavors from his ingredients; his versatility is displayed in the restaurant's other half, a pizzeria replete with wood-burning oven. Finish with wife Hélène's divine desserts or a cognac and cigar.

The best French cuisine in the South of the Island- lobster bisque, idyllic lamb, lobster etc with atouch of Gustavo's Peruvian flavour.
Excellent Food
