Papillote Family Dining

Papillote offers a MAP plan that includes breakfast and dinner. By all means, take advantage of this opportunity. First of all, you're in the middle of the rainforest, with few other choices for food nearby. Second and most important, the food on premises is wonderful. On early Saturday mornings, Anne scours the food market in the capital city of Roseau, a 20-minute drive away, to bring back a bevy of local produce like pineapple, passionfruit, mangoes, starfruit, tangerines, guava, and grapefruit. You'll be dreaming about her fresh squeezed passionfruit juice long after your return.

The green bananas and breadfruit are used as a starch like potatoes, pumpkins and papayas found in her soups. The menu also includes fresh tuna, blue marlin, and prawns, no doubt caught by fishermen that morning. The French influence of neighboring Martinique is evident in the Creole-style of cooking, with hot pepper sauce always on the table to spice things up a bit. There's usually a Barbecue Night, with grilled ribs and chicken. For dessert, opt for the creamy banana flambé.
