Frommer's Review

There's nothing finer in the south of Martinique than sitting on the second-floor veranda of this restaurant, drinking a tropical punch and overseeing the yacht-clogged harbor. Dining is also on a terrace overlooking the sea. The restaurant is built in the courtyard style of a Moroccan riad. Also in the North African style, both the bar and restaurant are a series of alcoves for intimate dining and drinking. In the background, a DJ spins lounge music as you study the menu. The chef spins his magic with sea bass, sea urchins, and a tagine of lamb, each with a savory sauce. We especially like the roast duck with mango. If you didn't go for the chicken tagine, you can also order fish tagines Morocco style. Saffron-flavored cod filets on a bed of leeks or Indian chicken tikka are other main dish specialties.

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.
