Frommer's Review
Opened in 2006 by a pair of talented expatriates from the French mainland, this spot is the best and most posh restaurant on Terre-de-Haut, with a suave sense of style that's head and shoulders above most of the competition. Its walls are covered with paintings by one of the talented owners, Didier Spindler, and at least some of its surfaces are accented with art objects he collected with the restaurant's co-owner, Jean-Paul Colas, during travels in, among other places, Thailand and Morocco. Menu items combine local ingredients with creative flair and precepts of classical French cuisine, such as tuna Kurasawa (sushi-quality tuna lightly seared, raw in the center, served with spices and algae, and named in honor of the Japanese film director); a brochette of chicken with soya and curry; magret of duckling with passion-fruit sauce; and smoked swordfish.

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.
