I didn’t get this done in time to put into the regular trip report, but wanted to post a note about Petit Casino and Yellow Sub. Petit Casino is NOT a gambling establishment, as one might initially think <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />, it is the grocery store in Orient Village which took over the spot where Tap 5 used to be.


It is owned by Bruno, of Le Cottage, Paradise Bungalows and Dreams. Petit Casino is a well stocked little store, not as big as Grand Marche or Super U, obviously, but you can get most or all of your supplies there, depending on how much you cook in.




Bruno is soon launching a new service out of Petit Casino—DELIVERY of groceries, but only in the Orient area, Orient Village, Club O, Mt. Vernon, area. I’m not sure everything is active yet, but the website is http://www.petitcasinosxm.com They will offer traditional pre-stocking of villas and apartments and if you walk in and shop, they will also take you and your groceries back ‘home’. For now, as an introductory special, if you order at least 50Euros, delivery is absolutely FREE. And the delivery prices are exactly the same as the shelf prices in the store.

Macaron and Yellow Sub are just down from Petit Casino. Macaron offers breakfast starting at 6:15 in the morning.


Yellow Sub suffered quite a bit of damage during Hurricane Gonzalo, which took off the roof of the restaurant. Up to now, they had been making do with several huge umbrellas. But as of about this week, they are putting a whole new roof over the restaurant, which will make it a lot more comfortable. There will also again be two huge screen TVs, which will show sports or play music. Yellow Sub has a wide variety of casual foods



and will be open in the evening starting in the fall, so you can get a great burger for that first evening meal on island, or just a casual meal any time.
