St Barth is known for being the playground of the rich and famous, so it’s not surprising that U.S. News Travel has named it one of the top Caribbean islands for foodies. Frommer’s Travel Guides has also praised the island, saying, “St Barth’s culinary scene is comparable to dining on the French Riviera (but, of course, with a distinctive Caribbean twist).”
