Jeepers--$49 or 49 Euros?

Scuba--yes, maybe, but a lot of work and menus do change. Then if we created a separate forum for that, then discussions of whether the food was good are off topic?

If people could remember to take a picture of the menu during their restaurant visits, and then just post as part of their trip report (hint, hint!!! grin), the info would be up to date.

Maybe design the page so only you can post menus that appear in other trip reports or posts. Just an idea.

Scuba--Tropicana and Le Piment are on the French side so I assume without knowing that the prices that Jeepers posted there are in Euros.

You're quite welcome. I hope it is a benefit to many.

bdeeley! Thank you so much for posting up the menu 🙂 there is a nice variety of things, and pictures on Google are looking scrumptious! Inspired me to make my take on beef bourguignon for tomorrow's lunch, lol, just came out of the oven.

KGB--well, yes I am, with regard to a lot of things. But, with regard to the current topic, people want many things, so long as someone else has to do the work..

Georgia--I'm not sure your position on that, from this post. To ME, a restaurant should have a website. Period.

Unfortunately, updating a website is hard for most people, while uploading a photo to Facebook is easy.

Frankly, I think that's a cost of doing business, to update your REAL website. However, it's been my experience that even most FB pages for restaurants don't have any menus. Or if they do, it's difficult to find them.

That's good. I had one for my business too and when I sold it the new owner doesn't keep it updated. Some don't have the skills or take the time.

It's not really rocket science, just spend a couple of bucks for a real website, But especially if the business just does a FB page, it's pretty simple. With the competition in SXM in restaurants, why would someone not have a page of some nature?

It looks absolutely wonderful. You have nothing to apologize for, the appearance is no different than a thousand other kitchens as you are cooking. Besides, I'm always impressed by the quality and taste of the finished product much more so than the appearance of the plating. Thank you so much for sharing.


Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

I never said it that way at all. Just that restaurants need to have a webpage. Whatever. This one is done.
