While swimwear is perfect for the beach, it is not considered proper in town. In the evenings, women tend to dress up a bit but, for the men, ties and jackets are rarely seen. Some upscale resort hotels may require jackets for men and dresses for women at dinner, particularly during the high season.

Restaurant/Food • The famous 5 star restaurant is Le Santal. The cuisine is decidedly French, from appetizers such as lobster bisque, foiegras terrine and caviar with vodka, chateaubriand for two, Provençal style prawns, scallops, and roasted lobster with champagne sabayon. This restaurant has light dessert soufflés, crème brûlée, and crepes Suzette. This is the perfect place to impress a date or celebrate an anniversary. • Some of the famous local foods is the traditional French and spicy West Indian Créole. Many of the restaurants, which are inexpensive to trés cher, combine the best of both. Fresh seafood appears on virtually all menus and sometimes prepared in Créole style with spices. Local rum drinks often precede a meal and fine French wines provide the perfect accompaniment.
