The top beach lunch in St. Barths — Eden Rock's open-air restaurant at the base of the rock on St. Jean Bay serves fresh seafood, excellent salads, and the legendary truffle pizza, with the hotel's famous rock formation above and the bay stretching away on both sides.
Why It Belongs on the List
Sand Bar is the definitive St. Jean beach lunch — Eden Rock hotel's main restaurant operates at the base of the dramatic volcanic rock on St. Jean Bay, with tables facing the beach and the turquoise Caribbean. The kitchen is the best on the island: excellent fresh fish, good salads, tuna tartare, and the truffle pizza that has developed a cult following among returning island visitors. Non-hotel guests are welcome. The setting — rock above, bay ahead, the ambient noise of a Caribbean beach — is as good as lunch gets. Reserve in advance; the best tables fill quickly in high season.
