CANTINA — Restaurant in Saint Barthélemy

Our favorite place every time we visit St Barths, Cantina is a fun casual eatery most to compare with Lagoonies in Sint Maarten. There’s always music playing and people singing along with French chansons. Its always full of locals and tourists alike having a good time. The staff is swift and on top of things the kitchen fast. The food they serve is a mix between homemade French and Spanish and served in tapas style. We love the patatas bravas, truffle croque monsieur, croquettes, and the specials. But our all time favorite is the fresh fish rilette, served with toast and made with a unique curry. The taco’s are really nice too but a little high in price for the amount. Other then this all is just perfect at Cantina.

Nearby table had a lobster roll that looked great. I would return as there are just zero places to...
