Le Tamarin — Restaurant in Saint Barthélemy

Dining at Le Tamarin is not just a meal; it's a masterclass in culinary enchantment, especially when celebrating something as delightful as a wedding anniversary in the charming embrace of St. Barth's. My husband and I chose this gem for our special evening, and oh, it was one of the best decisions we’ve made as a couple (outside of us becoming a couple). Le Tamarin isn't just about food that dazzles your taste buds; it's about a story—a brotherly duo crafting magic, one dish at a time. One brother orchestrates the kitchen, turning ingredients into art, while the other ensures your experience front of house is seamless. The culinary prowess here is a tribute to their mother, whose kitchen was a childhood haven of irresistible aromas, now translated into every dish served. The menu, a vibrant carousel of seasonal delights, ensures each visit is uniquely tantalizing. Our culinary journey began with wahoo ceviche and an arugula salad that danced in our mouths—the peppery arugula, crunchy pine nuts, and wisps of Parmesan mingling with a dressing so divine, it must have been concocted by the food gods themselves. The pièce de résistance was the Wagyu skirt steak, shared lovingly. Carved tableside and paired with chimichurri sauce, it was a symphony of flavors. The waitress suggested mashed potatoes, a revelation so delightful, we thanked our stars (and our witty, astute waitress) for the nudge away from the jasmine rice.

Le Tamarin is a spellbinding experience wrapped in the cozy, twinkling lights of its garden setting, making it a clear ten out of ten. If your travels take you to St. Barth’s and you crave a sprinkle of romance and a feast of flavors, make haste—book your table at Le Tamarin today. It's not just a meal; it's an event that promises to be the highlight of your stay. Trust me, you'll leave with a heart as full as...

This restaurant is in a beautiful tropical setting to resemble a jungle-like feel. The food was very good but the atmosphere was unnerving. The staff are literally sprinting from table to table and room to room. You are waiting for them to clash into each other. Not very relaxing to watch and or makes you feel rushed to eat your dinner rather than relaxing and enjoying a very good meal. Even the server that deboned our fish table side did so at mach speed. And because you have so many different people waiting on you aside from your waiter or waitress, they make mistakes. We had both sparkling and still water and when they came to refill our glasses they poured sparkling water into my glass of still water. Then another server brought us regular bread when our head waitress knew we were gluten free... It was my birthday and I couldn't even trouble one of them to take our picture because they were flying around like crazy. It was like watching...
