Gourmande de Nature

Gourmet is the name of the game here. Gourmet quality, gourmet prices. Hard to make this a casual breakfast place but as soon as the kitchen opens at 11, it is perfect for a fancy early afternoon meal. There is also a large kitchen-wares section that is quite phenomenal and probably the best on the island(s).

We made reservations for lunch on two occasions this summer so far, and really loved our experience. (In past years we were able to just show up without a reservation, but it seems increasingly busy here each year.) The simple chicken wraps + soup + salad and the Asian bowl were both very fresh and bright. The service friendly and professional in both English and French. Tasteful decor and elegant selection of culinary goods to purchase in the store area.

One of the more elegant places to dine on these islands; not ritzy but fresh and harmonious modern decor. Tasteful ambience and products. (A little dismayed to see a family letting their kids put their bare feet onto the table but this was not the restaurant's fault.) The menu is interesting, and the dishes reasonably prepared. The service was mostly courteous and professional. We returned several times.

Do not go if you are hungry or want good food. My husband and I both began with soups that barely covered the bottoms of the bowls. My lobster bisque had less than one spoonful of lobster in it. I might have been OK with this if it had tasted exquisite, but it really didn't. I expect more when a soup costs 28$. We then had a seafood risotto slash paella for two, which turned out to be neither. It was rice doused in a dull sauce with some seafood (no vegetables), again very skimpy with the lobster and the portions. What was meant for two people should have been for one. The deserts were no better. I had a sticky, sickly sweet maple syrup souffle that I do not recommend, and my husband had a creme brulee dessert that looked like mashed creme brulee between 3 thin triangular bits of pastry. It did not look appetizing and the taste was ordinary, and both deserts could have been plated more aesthetically. With tip the dinner cost just over 250$. Definitely not worth it. Restaurant Eva in the same area is also expensive, but unlike Gourmande de Nature, really delivers if you want tasty food. Spend your money there.

We had supper here last Friday (group of 5) and it was just incredible! I remember having lunch here 3 years ago and it was delicious... However they've raised the bar even higher. The food had each of us blown away. The scallop ceviche for one is just devine. Be sure to peruse the shop for their specialty salts, herbs, spices, vibrant bird portraits, ceramics and more!

Cute little bistro. We had the seafood arancini and large poke bowl (very fresh and delicious).

Food was amazing! We had Thia Soup and Galette de Poisson. Broth was sublime and the fish cake crisp outside and bursting with flavor. Our experience was greatly enhanced by our server Claire! She is a gem!

A classic bistro with a unique boutique offering signature pieces - double your pleasure! Our lunch was exquisite - serving locally prepared dishes that are delicious and beautifully presented. A wonderful selection of wines to complement your dinning experience. Service was professional and unpretentious. The lunch and dinner menus are completely different. However, we were unable to achieve a table for dinner. One of the top island restaurants, so I highly recommend booking in advance for a lunch & dinner.
