BobP..I thought the same thing at first but then read the post again and CarolV says:

lovely restaurant in Phillisburg with the giant palm tree growing through the middle of it-something Royale

so I think she must be talking about somewhere else.

I do agree with you about the wonderful part, though .

The restaurant with the Palm Tree Philipsburg... Was it maybe the West Indian Tavern? The Dutch Queen might have dined there once so they could have called it the Royal West Indian Tavern.

Cafe Royale is what it was called- They used to have a Treasure Chest that you picked a number out of and you could win a Ble Delf beer mug-I have two

sorry blue delft-it was located next to Joe's jewelry I think in the late 80's

I remember Cafe Royal. It wa run by Renee Florijens. It was located on Front Street across from what was then called the Gucci building.
and it was next to the Methodist church

Ah yes, of course! Renee went into the catering later.

Back in the DAYS (80's) we must have walked into every place on FRONT ST but I can't recall that place.

Does anyone remember a restaurant on Front St. called Le Grenoille, it was owned & operated by Pierre, who later owned Le Perroquet (sp)?

Another restaurant, this one in Marigot, on Rue de Hollande, was La Diva, owned
& operated by Michel Lerousseau? Michel went back to France after he closed the restaurant

It was "La Grenouille" in front street, yes with Pierre from le Peroquet.
Michel sold his restaurant to a French Lady who later on opened "L'espellette" at that location, but it is true that soem time went on between the moment Michel moved back to France, sold, and it was reopened by this lady.

Kind Regards,
Philippe

I remember when La Grenouille was by Belair Beach Hotel

Augie;

I am an agnostic dyslexic who questions if there really is a dog.

Yes we ate at his restaurant by the airport LePeroquet(sp) only once because we didn't care for his attitude.....LaDiva sounds familiar but can't recall being there....How about leToucan and Jardin DeMaM tea room and Cha Cha Cha(sp) in GC......Augie,I remember and have pictures of Little Bay Beach before the Belair was built.I MAY give one to Barbara for her collection next time we're on island in Nov/ Dec.

Augie, I remember that too. and I also remember when it was on front Street and I know for sure that my good friend Philippe was not living here then, unless it was in his previous life

and my dear friend BobP... you are such a tease..I may have to actually resort to theft to get any of those cards from you

Just had to add this about Pierre at Le Paraquett and his attitude-ten of us went in there one night for dinner-we ordered a round of drinks and after they were delivered Pierre (God rest his soul) came out to tell us his specials. While he was standing there my friend poured her drink into one of the wine glasses because she likes her drinks in a stemmed glass. All of a sudden he started to scream at her "oh no madam that glass is only for red wine" Then he told us "we have delicious while asparagus tonight" Well, 8 of us ordered the side of asparagus-bill comes $12 for side dish of 4 asparagus ($96 total) At least the Ostrich was good. Just a wierd night. (do miss his cooking if not his attitude tho)

Anyone else remember the Lobster salads at the West Indies Cafe on Front st. from the DAYS.
