Au Port Review

Unpretentious ambience, straightforward brasserie fare, generous portions, and an utter lack of snobbery have made this restaurant an enduring island favorite -- in fact, it's the oldest restaurant on the island. Set one floor above street level, in the center of town, it features neo-colonial decor with antique accessories. Appetizers feature such treats as creamy, vanilla-infused Caribbean pumpkin soup and a homemade duck foie gras. Fine seafood specialties include sautéed scallops in a Champagne sauce and a casserole of lobster and vegetables. Meat and poultry are also treated with tender loving care, especially the breast of honey-roasted duck and the typical island dish -- goat stew with bananas au gratin.

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.
