Bonito

Overlooking the Gustavia harbor, Bonito has long been one of St Barth’s most vibrant dining destinations. Styled like a sophisticated beach house, the restaurant blends comfort, elegance, and a lively atmosphere, making every visit feel both relaxed and special.

The space is open and airy, with natural textures and generous seating that invite conversation and connection. Guests gather around tables under raffia lampshades, enjoy the ceviche and cocktail bars, and take in sweeping views of the harbor as evening light softens across the island.

At the heart of Bonito is Executive Chef Laurent Cantineaux, whose culinary approach marries precise French technique with bold, vibrant flavors from Latin America and the Caribbean. Fresh seafood, ceviches, tacos, grilled octopus, and inventive Pan‑American dishes bring energy, color, and refinement to the table.
Service is warm and attentive, ensuring each guest feels welcomed and at ease, whether visiting for a special occasion or a casual evening. As the sun sets, a curated soundtrack and lively energy create an atmosphere that seamlessly shifts from elegant dinner to spirited night out.

Bonito is more than a restaurant. It is a full sensory experience where exquisite flavors, stunning views, and island spirit come together, leaving guests eager to return again and again.
