There are desserts and there are desserts. It depends on what KIND of dessert you're interested in. Certainly that is an option to purchase a dessert and take it home, since they want to eat dinner at home, if it's like a regular cake or cheesecake or something like that, but not so much a creme brulee or molten chocolate cake, etc.
As far as my favorite desserts, I love a classic creme brulee. Bistrot Caribes has a great one, as well as a chocolate molten lava cake. Le Cottage has a wonderful chocolate souffle. At LaVilla, they had a wonderful combination dessert which was a creme brulee, and a couple of other things that I can't remember now. In December we also had a really fun dessert at Temptation called the Flower Pot dessert. You can see a picture of it in my trip report, as well as some of the other desserts we enjoyed.
In general, many or most restaurants have their menus online, so if there is something in particular you are looking for in a dessert, you can see who might offer that particular dessert.

Off season, I really don't think it's a problem at all for the restaurant. High season, maybe? If the restaurant is totally full, maybe, but again, you'll be out more quickly. I wouldn't do it for just coffee, as they have to re-set the table afterward, but coffee and dessert, why not? We almost always travel in low season anyway, but we have often had our meal in Grand Case in one restaurant and gone to another for dessert. And we often have preceded the whole thing by drinks at Calmos, with feet in the sand. Not sure I would bother to do an app one place, then main one place and dessert in a third place. I personally don't think it's worth the trouble to eat at two different places at somewhere OTHER than Grand Case, if you have to get in your car and drive somewhere else. But that's just me.

GaKaye said: So now I have to ask a question: I've always wanted to stop at one restaurant for a cocktail and an appetizer, move to another for the main course, and then to a third for dessert. My husband has never wanted to do that because he thinks it's unfair to the restaurant to occupy a table and not have a complete meal. Opinions? Perhaps you could consider Capt. Neil's "pub crawl," which does exactly that? The restaurants expect you there for just the appetizer, main, or dessert, depending. Maybe David would feel better about that?

I'm going to second the creme brûlée at Pineapple Pete's, which is my favorite. It's also one of our favorite places to eat dinner. I also like the banana chocolate chip cake at Lee's (which is definitely big enough to share). I don't share my creme brûlée though. That's all for me. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> And as noted, Carousel is a fun stop for gelato -- lots of different flavors to choose from...and you don't have to worry about holding up a dinner table.

GaKaye said: Pineapple Pete (not my favorite restaurant for dinner) has delicious dark rum crème brulee. An added bonus is that they usually have live music in the evening. They also make pretty tasty coffee drinks. Their Spanish coffee is dessert all by itself. They also have a great Espresso Martini!! That is dessert for me!!

Mr. D's tempura apple pie at Temptation is the best I've had.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
