Fodor's Review:

At this cozy restaurant nestled at the cliff side of Gustavia's Shell Beach, you'll be able to sample more of restaurateur Boubou's fusion creations. The menu is more French-Thai than Brazilian, although at dinner there are usually a couple of Brazilian specialties. The decor is vaguely jungle-chic—romantic at night, lively at lunch. The EUR 29 and EUR 42 prix-fixe menus are a good deal. Grilled sandwiches at the snack bar on the beachfront level are the perfect lunch. For dinner, choose between varied salads, raw fish, hand-chopped steak tartare, pasta, and a variety of fresh-caught grilled fish. The service has been known to be a little relaxed, but the desserts are worth hanging around for.

Do Brazil was recently featured in a Conde Nast Traveler article as one of the best beach-front restaurants in the Caribbean. While the food isnt spectacular, it is a great place to spend the day. It is on Shell Beach, which is right in Gustavia and is fast becoming a great swimming beach. The only thing on Shell Beach is Do Brazil, which is a completely open building. Have lunch upstairs, then go down to lie on the bed on the beach and order drinks from the adjacent bar. Watch the locals cliff-dive and the luxury yachts anchor for lunch.
