Spent only one beach day at Mullet, and the rest were at our BSV unit or on Orient. We went to Orient and Karl would have front row chairs ready and waiting for us. GP also had drinks ready.

To say that I love KKO would be an understatement. Less traffic, less cruisers. However, after having eaten lunch there previously I wasn’t looking forward to the same-same. In my opinion their menu is still a bit limited and unambitious. I loved what I had previously but wanted to explore Le Telegraphe….thus we left our towels on our chairs and walked down to the Square and center of town to have lunch.

This place is lovely. Walk right in off the beach, and you are greeted with smiles and welcomed.






Salt cod fritters with Antillean creole sauce



There are several different dining/seating/bar areas all around. While waiting for our food to arrive I wandered around snapping pictures. In one area I was laughing to myself as it seemed like an ad for Pottery Barn.
















I think this was shrimp mediterranean style? Lol All I know is that I had a cheeseburger (don’t judge!) and awesome homemade pommes frites. Carol would give them 5 french fries.






Complimentary rhum shots. Two different flavors.



Edit: Picture of the final check deleted as I'm so tired of the bull sh*t arguing by people over the exchange rate and tipping versus pour boire. I merely showed the check to indicate the costs and value of the food and experience. Carry on.




Met friends in Jordan Village at La Bodega. Entrée’s were duck, filet, and a Cuban sandwich. I was not thrilled with the place myself. Too many people smoking that I could not escape, and there was a keyboard player that was too loud for dinner conversation. There were several server errors with our order as well.










Breakfast at El Zafiro



Waves at BSV




Gardens are really coming back at BSV. The family spent $40k on re-landscaping after Irma.

Nice porn. Question, what is the 36.40 in prenthesis mean? I see it was half of the euro.

You will notice that it is 1/2 the total bill. So it is the average price per person.

I think it is the average per person

Ok.

Note the conversion rate...!!!!!!
I rest my case.

Yes I did. Totally agree with you.

1=1.1 and?

Your choice to pay in Euros or Dollars

Also noted that gratuity not included and tips appeciated. Suttle way of asking for one.

As it should be.

To bad. I didn't see any arguing, just explanations and observations.

Maybe I overreacted.

I haven't been to La Bodega yet, but at least the presentation is nice. Le Telegraphe is definitely on my list for next trip. Very nice pictures.

We had awesome French fries at Le Telegraphe also. Definitely 5 fry rating!! Surprised the waves were crashing up on the buildings at BSV!!!

Thanks for the report!

I liked seeing the bill, beach kitten

Thanks for the report and pictures.

Nice report, enjoy seeing them all! Love the gardens at BSV, by the way, we bought one of those palm trees for BSV after hurricane Irma. We thought it was a great gift, as we love that place!

SXMFox--what a great idea!!! Thanks for contributing to a place a lot of people love!!

That is so cool! You have "your" palm tree!

Did you get a little plaque?
