Food Scene
The Yacht Club is one of our favorite places for breakfast. It's the best place to view the yachts in port and watch the boats go in and out Simpson Bay Lagoon. Go early. It is located in Simpson Bay - directly after the drawbridge.

Fat Tony's is a casual bar/restaurant with a local flair. Very casual. Walking distance. Near AUC and Jules bakery up the hill. The owner, Rick, is from Colorado so smoked pork and brisket is on the menu. Good casual menu - pizza, bison burgers, etc. A favorite of the medical students.

Don't miss Bar Code. One of the nicest, moderately priced restaurants in the Lowlands. Ivan, the owner, has developed quite a following with his homemade breads and ever-changing menu.

Great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Next to the drawbridge. Watch the yachts and other boats go in and out of the lagoon. Best Bloody Mary's on the island. Love the grouper fingers!!!

This is a beautiful restaurant on the French side. The entrance can be easily missed. Look for the sign that says Pic Paradis. It'll be on your right. The entrance is at the top of a big hill after you pass the sign to Friar's Bay. There are also hiking trails and zip lines.

Excellent restaurant, especially at night when Chef Dino cooks. Makes a fun day with the highest zipline on the island. Lunch or have dinner in a beautiful stone building used to store sugar cane on an old plantation.

Essentials
There is a Carrafour grocery in Porto Cupecoy, near the medical school, and on the way to Philipsburg. We usually go to the Carrafour up the hill past the medical school. The one on the way to Philipsburg is the largest. Two discount stores are Cost U Less and Prime. Super U on the way to Marigot is a great store on the French side.
