Get ready for an extraordinary dining experience a

Get ready for an extraordinary dining experience at „La Table de Jacques“, perched up on Pic Paradis, the highest point on the island! Once a month, Sabine hosts a truly unique meal. Here’s how it works: a communal table, shared with just 10 guests, where the chef prepares whatever they feel inspired by. It could be a 3, 5, or even 6-course menu… or something truly special like a traditional French pot-au-feu.

And here’s a fun fact: Pic Paradis offers stunning panoramic views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. You’ll be dining in the middle of it all!

The next event is in October, featuring „Aux Mets Tissés“. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it. Spots are super limited, so make sure you grab yours and experience a once-in-a-lifetime meal in the clouds!

Our menu yesterday was a culinary journey created by Chef Sebastian and his talented team from Les Galets Dining. From the delicate cumin carrot amuse-bouche to the perfectly cooked picanha and the divine meringue with moringa powder, each dish was paired with a selection of fine wines - paired and selected by Aleksandra.

The atmosphere at „La Table de Jacques“ made the experience even more unforgettable. If you haven’t had the chance yet, make sure to book your seat at this exclusive table for an evening you won’t forget!
