My occupation takes me all over the world, and the Caribbean is somewhere that I visit quite frequently with my job.

My occupation takes me all over the world, and the Caribbean is somewhere that I visit quite frequently with my job. I wouldn’t choose to come here on holiday as on the whole I find that the food here is not very good. However, my search continues whenever I am here, to realise the impossible dream and find a restaurant that is worth a trip. The search continues in St Kitts at The Kitchen restaurant at Belle Mont Farm which is part of the stunning sustainable hotel project on the side of the volcano on the island of St Kitts. It really is a beautiful property and worth a visit. The food is half decent and even good by Caribbean standards. The focus is on sustainability and they have their own organic farm on the property. If I was in St Kitts again I would certainly revisit but if this restaurant was located in London, Paris or any gastronomic city I would not bother with it. Less

Following my visit here last year, they were awarded a well deserved michelin star in the new Bangkok guide. They serve an inventive tasting menu to just a few covers with a beer pairing available.

An ok but fairly forgettable meal at 2* Le Montgomerie at the K2 Hotel in Courchevel 1850. A delicious carabinero dish is probably all I shall remember from this meal. The K2 hotel is incredible though. Very beautiful indeed.

A collaborative wine dinner at 3* restaurant La Bouitte in Saint-Martin-De-Belleville with some incredible wines presented by Pablo Álvarez of Vega-Sicilia. The menu was specifically tailored to match with the wines by the legendary Father and Son team René & Maxime Meilleur. A thoroughly enjoyable and educational evening.

This was a truly exceptional meal at the 3* Michelin restaurant Le 1947 in Courchevel 1850 at the Cheval Blanc Hotel. A beautiful and very intimate dining room of just 12 covers when I dined. I believe they can seat 20. This is a Yannick Alléno restaurant of the famed Paris 3* Pavillon Ledoyen on the Champs Elysées. Although the day to day head chef is Gérard Barbin, a hugely talented and very personable chap who took a lot of time to engage me directly regarding the menu and cooking techniques. Aside from the outstanding cookery, the service was impeccable and it was nice to see all the lead service staff were female with just a male Sommelier and male bus boys. For me their expert knowledge of all the dishes and competent table side skills at finishing a lot of the dishes took the whole experience to the next level. This was a far cry from the snooty French service I experience sometimes in Paris. The only slight negative was the sommelier. The wine service made me feel as though it was maybe the main sommelier’s day off. Possible a language barrier but i would not expect that in any 3* restaurant. This restaurant is not for the faint of heart as the bill was an eye watering €700 for me alone. And I did not go particularly crazy on the wine. Everyone else in the dining room was clearly very wealthy and I detected quite a few Russian accents which should give you an idea of the type of clientele this place attracts. Indeed, one gentleman had booked a table just for himself not to eat any food but to spend the evening working his way through some of the incredible wines that the restaurant offer at a price per 1cl. These were bottles that were priced in the tens of thousands of euro in the wine list. All in all I loved it and will go back at the next given opportunity. An OAD must visit. Less
