Frommer's Review
Less than a kilometer (1/2 mile) inland from the coast of Hodges Bay, this restaurant occupies a stone-sided structure built as a clubhouse for a now-defunct golf course. Sporting informal charm, it's Antigua's oldest continuously operated restaurant (since 1981). The owners are English-born Philippa Esposito and her husband, Raffaele, from Capri. As the first authentic French restaurant on island, Le Bistro changes its menus twice a year, but each one is highly creative and innovative, a kind of fusion of West Indian and French recipes. Start with such appetizers as a homemade onion soup or a duet of fresh salmon and tuna sashimi. Prepared with flair are such mains as fresh grilled filet of snapper or a whole grilled fresh local lobster. Crispy Long Island duck is flamed in Grand Marnier and served with a caramelized orange sauce.
