leaving in two weeks for st.barts need ideas for modest priced rest.s please give your ideas.

Wall House and Pipiri Palace in Gustavia<BR>and La Gloriette in Cul de Sac.

La Marine in Gustavia, esp. on Thursday nights as mussels are flown in that day.<BR><BR>La Gloriette on Grand Cul de Sac.<BR><BR>The Hideaway in St. Jean.<BR><BR>All good and moderately priced.

Take a look at www.sbhonline.com. There is a wonderful restaurant review section with links to comments made in the forum about each restaurant and a really great discussion board with extremely knowledgeable travelers.

Some which are more reasonable (nothing is cheap) are:<BR>- K'ife Masai, beautiful African theme but French food. Service can be very slow.<BR>- La Marine for fish and seafood, especially on Thursday's when it's frites and mussel night and the mussels have been flown in fresh from Paris via St.Maarten that day.<BR>- Andy's Hideaway for a salad and wood-burning oven pizza <BR>- Le Repaire, right on the water in Gustavia for great grilled fresh fish and even a good club sandwich or burger<BR>- La Creparie in Gustavia for authentic French crepes for lunch.<BR>- La Gloriette for lunch<BR>- Kife e Mo for a quick panini and salad on the run<BR>- L'Esprit de Saline which is really pretty and off the beaten path on the<BR>road to Saline Beach is the restaurant owned by a former chef of Maya's. The<BR>menu is very limited but the food is very fresh and the veggies especially<BR>are yummy. It's worth going to.<BR><BR>Also not to be missed for great food at very reasonable prices are Le<BR>Piripiri Palace for amazing ribs, though everything is great and Eddy's (no reservations, closed Sunday) a local place with amazing food, especially the green mango salad.<BR><BR>Other favorite spots (though very expensive) are: Eden Rock Sandbar for<BR>lunch, Main dining room for dinner, Mayas and Le Sappotillier. <BR><BR>And don't forget a picnic with a wonderful roasted chicken and fresh salads and cheese from La Rotisserie.
