Fodor's Expert Review Artisan Restaurant by FAYE Gastronomie

FAYE is a hidden gem, just across the main road from the entrance to Hewanorra International Airport, and the elegant ambiance and fine French dining are nothing short of restorative after a long flight. You enter through their gourmet food and wine shop, where weekly imports from France supply their restaurant and many others in Saint Lucia with fresh seasonal European produce and other specialty gourmet products, including a large selection of wine and cheese. To your left is an expansive glass-walled wine cellar with over 300 labels, and to your right, an open-concept kitchen where chef Jacques Chretien creates "French gastronomie with a Creole touch." Four- or six-course Chef's Menus are available, or the on-staff sommelier will happily suggest pairings for items from the regular menu. Sushi and specialty cocktails are also available.
