Frommer's Review

Le Pacha is in a seafronting building that's virtually hidden from the landward side by a thick screen of palm trees and vegetation. Inside, in an environment painted in tones of pink, orange, and variations of green, you'll find a dedication to creative cuisine that's directly affected by the French Alps origins of the creative team who run the place. The same menu is offered at lunch and dinner. Alongside pizzas and salads, the menu includes such elaborate creations as a duet of fish (Atlantic mackerel and Caribbean balahou) served with orange sauce; a cassolette of freshwater crayfish with foie gras; and a roasted half-lobster served with fresh tomatoes, tarragon, and pistou. A deeply upholstered leather sofa near the entrance functions as a kind of throne at this place, supposedly allowing any Jean, Philippe, or Pierre to feel like a pacha, or sultan, in his own right. Le Pacha is a short walk from the departure point for the ferryboats heading to and from Fort-de-France.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
