The tables
Two kitchens,
fifty paces apart.
A note from Chef Elena
We keep two kitchens because the island asks for two kinds of meals. A bright, barefoot lunch over the water. A slower, darker dinner by candlelight, indoors. The same produce, two very different tables.
No. 01 · La Brisa
The reef
kitchen.
A long, bare table set over the water on an open platform of weathered teak. Lunch begins at one and usually finds its way to four. A seven-ingredient rule, a set menu, no printed list.
- — 13:00 – 16:00
- — Wednesdays to Sundays
- — By reservation
Today's table

Four courses · $120 per guest · wine pairing $75
No. 02 · El Comedor
The old
dining room.
In the original house, under a beamed cedar ceiling hung with old brass lamps. Dinner is a set menu, served at 20:30, for twenty-four guests at a time. A small list of Caribbean wines and aged rums.
- — 20:30 seating

A table on the sand,
if you'd prefer.
Private dining can be arranged on the small crescent beach, in the citrus orchard, or on your own verandah — by the kitchen of your choice, with two days' notice.
