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.

Oh, for sure their prices have to be higher than the big stores. Thanks for the pronunciation tip!

Yes, they definitely do have fresh veggies. Not exactly sure what kinds of meat they stock, as I didn't look at meats. Sorry.

Sounds like a good idea - Yellow Sub for a casual dinner on 11/13. We'll be arriving on the island at 3:15, staying just up the hill at Club F.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I've been meaning to review each of these places since we returned from our trip almost a month ago. We stayed in Orient Village and pretty much frequented Petit Casino and Yellow Sub daily. I found the prices to be "reasonable enough" and the selection quite varied. They had pretty much everything we needed and then some! They had a great selection of Belgian beers and a wide selection of decent wines. I also loved the Yellow Sub & Macaroon! Great pastries and pre-made breakfast items/sandwiches. Twice we ordered rotisserie chicken which was delicious. I also really enjoyed their fresh juices - namely the beet, radish and ginger detox (much needed). Oh, and if you get a chance - you must try the poutine with goat cheese - OH MY .

OK, thanks. Bruno said it was going to be soon, but I figured maybe that was 'island time'... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />
