Happy new year folks! We are looking forward to our trip coming up in roughly 53 days an 22 hours. As these things go we like to help pass the days by planning some dinner ideas and other fun things to look forward to. We haven't spent anytime in Marigot to speak of except a visit to the ER a couple years ago. Last night surfing the web I stumbled upon what looks like a real gem of a place call L'Oizeau Rare. <a href="" target="_blank"></a> L'Oizeau Rare I hope I pasted the URL correctly. Anyway, has anyone been? Reviews on TripAdvisor and pictures look great. I think this might be my ribeye evening (most places in Grand Case do Filet Mignon which is not as flavorful to me). Reading the message boards makes me slightly nervous about safety and such. How many of you venture into Marigot in the evening and if so do you drive or cab it? We aren't worriers per se just want to be smart. Cheers - Troy and Olive

Rastamojo,
I'm not generally a steak person and I can't speak for the restaurant in question in Marigot, but earlier this past December we had a great grilled ribeye at The Green Monkey at the Ocean Club in Cupecoy.
I don't know where you're staying but we went there on the advice of a friend specifically for the Friday/Saturday (could be Saturday/Sunday?) grilled Ribeye special and it was delicious - huge, well seasoned and perfectly cooked to each of our requests. As I recall, the special was $25.00 and it was served with a side of garlic mashed or fries.
We all left fully sated and with almost a half steak each for reheats or afternoon cocktail hour. It's not GC gourmet or Rare-like in price, but it was very good.
The setting is comfortable though not at all fancy and the dress is casual. I'll go back for sure the next trip if they still offer it.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

My wife and I have been going there for years and have always enjoyed it. It may be a bit more "French" than some Americans are comfortable with.
Located between (what used to be?) La Vie en Rose and the West Indies Mall, on the same side of West Indies Mall.

Do you mean it's like Grand Case restaurants used to be back in the late 80's early 90's? With just two seatings, smoking, and the intimate feel of being the only people in a corner? And like, if you've ever eaten at Poisson d'Or back "in the day".

january said: RonDon Rare Bird it is. Poisson d'Or was before my time I think. If you ever went to La Brasserie de Marigot they are similar but the Bird has a little more class. Thank you. Love Brasserie de Marigot. I first Island meal was there long ago; keep going back. Will try L'Oizeau.
