The newest arrival on the island's fine-dining scene, Orega has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting kitchens on St. Barts. The concept is Japanese-French, a fusion that can go wrong in careless hands but here is handled with genuine skill. The menu moves fluidly between the two traditions without feeling forced.

The omakase-style tasting menu (around 150 EUR per person) is the way to experience Orega at its best. Expect courses like miso-glazed black cod with beurre blanc, wagyu tartare with shiso and ponzu, and a yuzu tart with matcha cream that manages to be both delicate and deeply flavoured.

The space is sleek and minimalist, a departure from the rustic-chic aesthetic that dominates most St. Barts restaurants. The cocktail programme is inventive, with Japanese whisky and sake featuring alongside classic French spirits. This is the restaurant for travellers who have eaten at Bonito and Le Tamarin on previous trips and want something new.
