Bonito

Since opening in 2009, Bonito Saint Barth has become one of the island’s most beloved high-end restaurants — a place where refined cuisine meets the relaxed charm of a Caribbean beach house. Designed to feel both luxurious and inviting, the interior captures the essence of St Barth: light, coastal, and effortlessly elegant, offering guests the comfort of home with the sophistication of a world-class dining experience.

At the heart of Bonito is its French Pan-American cuisine, created by Chef-Owner Laurent Cantineaux. Blending classic French technique with the bold, colorful flavors of the Americas, Cantineaux brings more than 28 years of culinary mastery to the table, crafting dishes that are as vibrant as the island itself.

The restaurant’s signature atmosphere is shaped not only by its cuisine but also by the warm, attentive hospitality led by General Manager and Co-Owner Nicolas Gicquel. Under his guidance, every guest is welcomed like an old friend — whether discovering Bonito for the first time or returning for a familiar favorite.

As night falls, Bonito transforms. The resident DJ sets the tone with a curated soundtrack that elevates the evening, creating the perfect backdrop for dining, conversation, and celebration with sweeping views of Gustavia.

Guests traveling beyond St Barth can also discover Bonito’s sister restaurant in Colorado: Betula Aspen, a destination praised by locals, food lovers, and jetsetters alike. Both restaurants share the same commitment to excellence, artistry, and unforgettable hospitality.
