La Guerite St. Barts

La Guerite sits directly on the sand at Plage de Saint Jean. The venue offers a combination of Mediterranean, French, and seafood dishes.

The restaurant is a five-minute walk from the local airstrip, yet the proximity to the tarmac is the very reason to go. While the rest of the island’s dining scene is tucked into enclosed hillside rooms or garden courtyards, this is a rare spot that keeps its feet in the water. You trade the quiet seclusion of a formal dining room for the noise of the surf and the drama of incoming flights. It feels more like a Mediterranean beach club than a standard Caribbean restaurant, making it the right choice for an afternoon that intends to slide well into the evening.
