Jambe De Bois

Top choice in St Lucia


Locals, yachties and frequent visitors know they’ll get a delicious meal and a wonderful view of the bay here. The menu is fairly small but varied, with local specialties lining up with Mediterranean plates.

Pick out a table on the breezy veranda for a romantic meal. On weekends there is great live music.

You can access the cafe even when the Pigeon Island main gate is closed – just tell security you're going for a meal.
