La Belle Epoque

Frommer's Review

In a turn-of-the-20th-century house, this elegant choice features haute French cuisine. In the affluent suburb of Didier, this colonial-style restaurant stands high above the capital of Fort-de-France. The dining room is filled with crystal, silver, white linens, and beautiful tiles, the room opening onto a terrace with a view of the garden. Guests savor the inventive, superbly prepared cuisine. The fish dishes are the finest in the area, particularly filet of John Dory served with a lime butter and the roasted scallops served with spice butter. Some classic beef dishes are also offered, cooked to order and served with sauces that often contain foie gras and truffles. The best is filet of beef Périgourdine with foie gras and truffles. Smoked salmon appears on the plate with a vinaigrette of passion fruit, and magret de canard (duckling) is served with a foie gras and a port wine sauce. Fresh lamb is flavored with thyme juice, and the chocolate fondant makes the perfect French dessert.
