La Cantina
About
Meet La Cantina, a restaurant in Saint Barthélemy, set on Rue du Bord de Mer in Gustavia, the island's harbour capital. The dining room sits in the heart of Gustavia, with St. Jean, Saline and Lorient among the stretches of coast within easy reach.
La Cantina draws on 161 reviews, a body of feedback that has settled at 4.4 out of 5. That volume of verdicts suits a kitchen in a town where visitors and residents eat out often, and the reach of the surrounding bays — Gouverneur, Toiny, Grand Cul-de-Sac and Flamands among them — keeps a steady stream of diners passing through.
The kitchen serves the kind of cooking that suits a harbour town, with a menu built around the seafood and island-spiced flavours that define dining across the Caribbean. A single photograph accompanies the listing, so the setting is easy to picture before arriving.
Across the Caribbean, the dry season from December to May brings lower rainfall and steady trade winds, which shapes the most comfortable months to visit. Shared minibuses and taxis are a common way to move between beaches and towns, and they often wait until full before departing. Creole languages with French and English roots are spoken widely here, which eases ordering for most visitors.
