Generously sharing a wealth of knowledge about island lore and history, Mme. Fournier also enumerated the
accompanying side dishes that complete such a
meal, and they are really starch - heavy: taro, manioc (
often as a pan-baked sweet cake), several types of banana which are customarily wrapped in leafy bundles like some sort of tropical tamale, the islander's omnipresent staple — breadfruit, potato, umara (sweet potato), plus an island chestnut which, along with the manioc, breadfruit and some of the bananas, can be prepared by grating and mixing with sugar, milk and coconut milk into both cakes and puddings.
The restaurant / bar is, like the rest of the property, a beautiful space and if you're tired of the mediocre
meals in town or the loud music that
often accompanies it, treat yourself here.
