Arguably the best restaurant and probably my favorite room on the island. On a secluded point in nearby Frenchtown, this former 1920's Russian consulate is straight out of a Graham Greene novel!

Located about a three minute's walk from the apartment, this excellent cafe/bakery is sponsored by the historic Dutch Reformed Church (just next door). It's a non-profit that not only trains at-risk youths but is also really, really good. The kitchen chefs are mostly local and have a wealth of experience to pass on...and you are the beneficiary.

A St.Thomas institution...located in nearby Frenchtown, this tiny, dimly-lit bistro/wine bar has great service and always an interesting modern menu. Sometimes the owner or the chef will parade a giant mahi-mahi or a wahoo through the restaurant just purchased from the fish house right next door. Be patient, have another glass of wine and wait for the chef to tell your waiter how he's preparing it!

Ready for an adventure? Hop on a dollar safari in town and get off at Crown Bay Pier. Ask a local where Tickle's Pub is, go there and take the little red ferry over to Water Island. This is the last of our 60's hippy beaches, go before they build the planned resort!
I guarantee that you'll have a blast!
