Bonito

Top choice in St-Barthélemy


One of St-Barth's most buzzed-about restaurants, Bonito cooks up a tantalizing blend of seafood-centric Latin American and French cuisine. A culinary journey might start with lobster ceviche, fold in grilled-beef tataki and peak with sautéed scallops, all served in a vibe of calm poshness underlined by mellifluous sounds. Exquisite cocktails make this a nice sunset spot to boot.
