We stayed in Grand Case, in a studio Oct 8-22. Only few restaurants open then, but so many more are open now. We never felt unsafe. We ate at La Villa, Le Cottage, Piazza Pascal, all twice. We ate twice at Cote Plages in Orient Vilage, once at Sol E Luna, and once at Le Taitu. All wonderful meals. Bikini is absolutely beautiful & has a great restaurant. By the round about is another great restaurant- Al Dente. We had lunch there, but it it the same menu for dinner.Several other great restaurants in Orient Village, and in Grand Case, I hear open now: Bistrot Caraibes, L'Auberge, Spiga, Rainbow. Soon to open is the old Il Nettuno, has a new name I think begins with a B. The Lolo's are open and a few other restaurants on that end of town that are new to me. If you are on Facebook, there was a whole list of places open on ARCHA Loves Grand Case. I wouldn't hesitate to stay on this side of the island at all!
