Le Christopher Coutanceau

Niche Travel Guides

The luxurious five star Hotel Christopher St Barth has opened two new exciting restaurants in St Barth in 2024. Esteemed French chef Christopher Coutanceau, who boasts two Michelin stars at his renowned La Rochelle restaurant, has crafted two distinct eateries: Christopher Coutanceau and La Plage de Chris. Both establishments showcase his profound passion for seafood.

At Christopher Coutanceau, guests will indulge in exquisite fine dining, featuring the freshest fish and seafood, all while enjoying breathtaking ocean vistas.

La Plage de Chris offers a more laid-back ambiance, where patrons can relish seafood and fresh fish grilled over a wood fire, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely, toes-in-the-sand lunch.

La Plage de Chris is open for lunch and we highly recommend trying the fish croquettes and the seared carpaccio, which is beautifully paired with exotic fruit and crunchy vegetables. For the main course, the wood-fired lobster and the catch of the day for two are standout options that you won’t want to miss.

Come evening, prepare yourself for one of St. Barths’ premier fine dining experiences at Christopher Coutanceau. While you have the option to order à la carte, we suggest opting for the tasting menu to truly savor the best offerings. Anticipate culinary delights such as caramelized scallops with leeks and smoked trout roe, rich bard cream, and perfectly roasted pigeon accompanied by potato variations, foie gras jus, and truffle.

Arrive early (or stay late) and enjoy some of St Barth best finest cocktails while taking in a stunning ocean view by the pool, accompanied by one of the island’s most spectacular sunsets. Hotel Christopher also features a unique sunset lounge with a DJ every Monday and Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. For a truly luxurious experience, pair your dining with pampering sessions at the oceanfront Sisley Spa, renowned as one of the best spas in St. Barth.
