L'Oizeau Rare Review

Creative French cuisine is served in this blue-and-ivory-colored antique house on a Marigot hillside with a view of three artfully landscaped waterfalls in the garden. The tables are dressed with snowy cloths and Limoges china. At lunch, served on the covered terrace, you can choose from a number of salads and crispy pizzas, as well as fish and meat courses (specials might include tilapia in puff pastry with tomato marmalade or sweet-and-sour duck breast with ginger-garlic/red fruit sauce). Dinner choices include fresh fish, such as snapper or salmon; roasted rack lamb with Provençal herbs; or tagliatelle with shrimp, tomato, garlic, and fresh herbs. There are numerous daily specials and prix-fixe options, and the wine list features plentiful French options at moderate prices. Many guests come here at sundown to enjoy the harbor view over a kir royale and cigar from the extensive selection.

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.
