Shellona

Located on Gustavia’s famous Shell Beach in the space formerly home to Dō Brazil, Shellona opened in late 2016 and immediately became an island classic. With stunning waterfront views, the restaurant and beach club offers an alfresco dining area with blue cushions and sun umbrellas, as well as white beach chairs for pre- or post-lunch sunbathing. The hot spot eatery has live music and serves sophisticated Mediterranean fare from former La Guérite chef Yiannis Kioroglou. The Greek-inspired cuisine, which includes roasted vegetables with fennel tzatziki and grilled mahi mahi with coconut milk sauce, is some of the best in all of St. Barth’s. It's the perfect place to while away a lazy Sunday afternoon with the locals over a long lunch. All that remains to be seen is when the Hôtel Barrière will re-open Le Carl Gustaf, perched just above the beach.
