    Iguanas are indeed the theme here, and you can still spy them in unexpected places—but their numbers have diminished and the room now has a clean, contemporary appeal, just like the china and glassware. The salon seating for cocktails has a homey feel, with basket-weave rattan furniture and hot-pink accent pillows. Unquestionably original cuisine with Asian, Indian, Creole, and African influences is chef Sylvain Serouart's trademark. Two amuse-bouches will arrive, and there is usually a wonderful foie-gras appetizer—with a vintage-rum crème brûlée and a papaya compôte. Follow with a lobster ravioli dashed with lime, tinted with saffron. The menu is always evolving. Desserts, like a cacao ice-orange-cake, are contemporary marvels. This is a pricey place, but the tasting menu ensures the widest range of tastes.

    On the curve of Plage de Petite-Anse, this casual hotel restaurant has tables in the sand, stylish Euro decor, and the freshest, most delicious seafood. Chef José Viator does wonders with fish carpaccio; ouassous (jumbo crayfish) in coconut sauce; bébélé (a flavorful creole dish with tripe and dumplings); and fricassee of conch or octopus with breadfruit. Set menus are the best value at both lunch and dinner. On weekends, the Creole Brunch from 11 to 4 is particularly celebratory; on weekend nights there's entertainment or dancing. Pergola's, the circular bar, has some of the island's best rum cocktails.

    You may hear that one of the best tables on the island is found at the small hôtel de charme La Rose du Brésil. The rumor is true. First, order a fresh-squeezed lime daiquiri. You will likely want two. The pièce de résistance is the plate of grilled spiny lobster, shrimp, and scallops. Any dish is accompanied by a stew of local vegetables, and desserts are inspired by the island's tropical fruits.

    At this secret hideaway you'll see the churning sea below and hear the waves crashing against the coral rock upon which it sits. The interior architecture is all hardwood with matching furniture and white linen napkins at dinnertime. Primarily a grill, the simplicity is reflected in the food offerings. Kids are particularly fascinated when the lobster net is dipped into the tank and the thrashing begins. The catch of the day is fresh from the waters below, often accompanied by creole or tropical-fruit sauces. Creole dishes and sides that were gently contemporized by a French chef are offered as nightly specials. Presentations are beautifully exotic. And what's a Zawag? Why, that's a tropical fish that swims in the water that guests see through the open shutters.

    At this alfresco hot spot, Asian wok dishes, sushi, skewers, fish carpaccios, and tartares dominate the menu, and there are no fewer than nine better-than-average salads. There are also pricey pastas and daily specials like a classic sirloin in a Roquefort-poivre sauce, but the attractive prix-fixe menus are the best choices. Kids are crazy for the ice cream and beg parents for un coupe. So many flavors, so little time. Facing the marina's boat slips, the modern furnishings are charcoal gray and burnt orange juxtaposed with flamingo pink walls and napkins. The seats are often filled with a fun, discerning crowd of mainly French expats; parked nearby there may be a couple of Harleys, flying tiny American flags.

    This sidewalk café straight out of Paris is an "in" place for lunch and also a spot for a quick breakfast, a fresh juice cocktail—try corossel (a tropical fruit) and mango juices, a cappuccino, un coupe (a sundae), or a pastis while you people-watch and listen to French crooners. The formule (fixed-price menu) is always the best deal. Service is fast and friendly and may even be in English.

    This hip place on the water, flanked by the town pier, is named for its passionate chef-owner, Henri Vergerolle, an island character who spent much of his life in France but returned to open this restaurant and cultural center. Begin with a rum and fresh-squeezed juice. Smoked fish can be a component of a salad or an appetizer; the creole omelet is also very original. Everything is fresh here, but the limited menu might have only three main courses available (you can always choose the fish of the day). But just kick back and listen to African blues and view the latest art or sculpture exhibits. You might have the good luck to be here when there's a live music concert.

    This fun, colorful waterfront café offers free Wi-Fi, books and newspapers to read, teas and coffees, wine, and icy rum cocktails, all of which encourage lounging. Appetizers include sushi and smoked-fish plates, while the catch of the day with an exotic sauce is usually a good choice. After sunset there are aperitifs, and although reservations are requested for dinner, the friendly, accommodating staff also takes walk-ins. Finish off with the house-made punch du monde. This is one of the few island restaurants that does not close between lunch and dinner. To get here from the main dock, take a left to the main street and walk two blocks. It's across from the kayak-rental company.

    Dining here is truly a departure: the open-air pergola, the blue gates, the pungent aromas, and the bust of Ganesha. Within the paisley-covered menu you can find authentic Indian dishes alongside such adaptations as boneless curried chicken with crème fraîche, cashews, and raisins. Vegetarians are catered to, with eggplant puree one of the better options. Children may fill up on the addictive cheese-stuffed naan and may be too stuffed for kulfi, Indian ice cream that's topped here with ginger confit. The welcome here is always warm and the service dignified. The Indian chef-owner, Karious Arthur, has a culinary degree from Paris and worked for years in France. Consistently good, the restaurant is always packed on weekends, so be sure to make a reservation.

    Delicious Caribbean-accented French cuisine draws diners to this open-air restaurant, where a specialty is fresh lobster, plucked from the petite lagoon that beautifies the deck. Foie gras is also a star. Though open, the dining room has deep leather chairs, and, on occasion, a piano player and live music (local music is the norm on Thursday night). You can listen whether you just have a drink at the bar or sit down for dinner. Lunch patrons dine on the terrace near the infinity pool. With your feet dangling in the water and an exotic cocktail in hand, you can watch the sea churn below.

    This fine-dining restaurant in St-François offers consistently good Franco-fusion cuisine. The French couple who owned a Parisian restaurant for eight years before setting up shop here don't always extend the same hospitality to English-speaking tourists as French patrons, but that and the impractical, silky, maroon napkins aside, this open-air venue is cozy and inviting with displays of vintage corkscrews, etc. (The wine cave doubles as a bottle shop.) More good news: you can now make reservations online.

    Guests may at first be attracted to the gorgeous views of dive boats going to Pigeon Island, but they return again and again for food. After climbing the worn yellow stairs, diners take a seat on the open multilevel deck for a delicious meal with those gorgeous panoramas. Fish is fresh off the boat and your best bet here, so don't hesitate to try the sushi antillaise or grilled crayfish; or better yet have these jumbos in a rich cream-and-rum-laced sauce—a two-napkin affair as the shells are left on. Select your lobster from a pool. Both servers and managers are friendly and efficient for such a busy place; one or more will be English-speaking. Make a reservation if you want the best view.

    Even if there's a downpour, the overhanging gingerbread roof over your terrace table will keep you dry as the food and music keep your spirits high. The family-owned restaurant overlooking crystalline Deshaies Bay is a dream fulfilled, and much of its success is directly related to the varied international experiences of the family members. Emilia, the matriarch who is Portuguese and lived in Angola for years, brings the African decor and name. Patriarch Vincent, who is French and was a candy maker in Switzerland, is the chef and pastry chef. Daughter Tatiana is the welcoming English-speaking server. Chef Vincent prides himself on using the freshest fish and produce; lobster must be ordered in advance as he orders them only as needed. Some diners feel that Savane is expensive, but quality ingredients coupled with creativity make for happy forks.

    An historic sugar mill is the backdrop for the artistic creations here, which pair refined French preparations with local produce. The lunch menu is a mix of classic restaurant food and lighter dishes. A prix-fixe menu including a main course, a starter or dessert, a glass of wine, and coffee is available. At dinner a more classically French menu with Caribbean influences offers both meat and seafood. Desserts are dazzling, with the pastry chef turning out towers, sauces, and glacés. On Friday and Saturday nights, there's piano music in the lounge. Hotel guests also eat breakfast here.

    Chef Xavier Simon is remarkably inventive with the fresh local produce and seafood, with grilled lobster the signature dish of his restaurant in Terre-de-Haut. But the menu isn't limited to fish; meat, vegan, and gluten-free offerings will also be found on small but ever-changing menu. Much effort has gone into the well-chosen wine list, which includes a full range of aged rums from Guadeloupe. For the finale, desserts dazzle. Contemporary dinnerware brought from France complements the menu and presentation. Service is on the veranda, where the night sounds of the tropics vie with jazz and French music.

    This small, convivial waterfront restaurant has a lot to recommend. The talented chef-owner, Philippe Dade, has created a place that's artsy and fun, with contemporary, original works on the wall, hanging plants, and hip music. But you will also like the food: fresh grilled fish—plus authentic pomme frites–-makes an ideal meal out on the beach terrace. Le choucroute de la mer, a Caribbean-accented version of the Alsatian specialty, is also a great choice: fish, scallops, and mussels in a white wine sauce. Desserts are also divine, and one (a mango soufflé) must be ordered in advance. There are two well-priced, three-course, prix-fix menus to help keep prices in check.

    As a jazz dancer, Clara worked her way through Europe's capitals. She was always a colorful character, and her restaurant is equally vivid; even the napkins offer a splash of color. Her brother has taken over, keeping the landmark restaurant in the family, and Clara still makes cameo appearances. The food here is is haute Creole. The curries are intoxicating, and the chef has a remarkable way of preparing lambi (conch), octopus, and local fish, as well as preparing delicious paella and couscous. The Apricot tarte tatin is tres bonne. A dessert surprise is sweet potato pie, a recipe from a Carolina girl who was Clara's roomie in Paris.

    Either before or after your golf game, head to Koko & Zabriko for fresh-squeezed juice at breakfast, a smoothie, or a very large café au lait in a whimsical, colorful cup with a tiny chocolate chip cookie. Office workers know to come for a salad, like the one with bacon and chevre, or to take a house-made quiche to go, or say, a croque monsieur to stay.Try to choose from among a dozen tropical ice-cream flavors.

    It's a bit of Basque country and a lot of Bordeaux, with shades of Morocco in the colorful pillows. If you enjoy raw fish, try the stunningly presented red tuna encrusted with sesame seeds. The chef and proprietor, Frank Le Lan, buys the freshest of food, such as the ouassous (crawfish) he puts in a salad with a passion-fruit vinaigrette. A terrine made with grapefruit and green tea is a guilt-free dessert.
