The Best Places to Eat in St Barts in 2023

By Editorial Team   Last Updated: 31 March 2023

As one of the premier yachting destinations in the world, the glittering island of St. Barts offers an abundance of fantastic restaurants suited to the most discerning of diners.

Menus often change daily to guarantee the freshest local ingredients and dishes are usually served with a side of breath-taking views and romantic beachfront settings. Here's our pick of the best on the island. 

On the Rocks


The world-famous Eden Rock St Barts is home to the internationally recognized On the Rocks restaurant. The setting is glamorous yet in keeping with the relaxed atmosphere of the Caribbean island and boasts fantastic views over the coral reefs and beyond. Fine organic vintages and specially selected wines from Alsace can be found on the wine list and cocktails are served from 5 pm. This is a place to be seen as much as to watch the sunset.

Le Case, Cheval Blanc

This elegant French-fusion restaurant is an ode to the Caribbean. Situated in the Cheval Blanc St-Barth hotel, the beachside restaurant unveils a culinary journey designed by Jean Imbert. Freshly-caught grilled fish is a specialty but there is something to suit everyone with delectable delights ranging from frozen tomato soup to beef tenderloin. The lightness of the cuisine makes it perfect for a late lunch where diners can make the most of the idyllic outlook.
