Ti Bouchon: Ti is short for Petite, small, and a bouchon, as the logo suggests is a cork. But what is a Ti Bouchon? The answer can be found in Lyon, the second largest city in France, and, quite possibly, its gastronomic capital. The bouchons are small, intimate restaurants that offer generous helpings of flavorful foods, serve local wine in pitchers, and have a convivial, possibly boisterous, atmosphere. About 20 of these bistros have formed a group, produced the logo to the right, and laid down a few rules for authentic bouchons. Ti Bouchon aspires to replicate the food, the wine, and the experience of an authentic bouchon on the wrap-around porch of a colorfully refurbished Créole cottage in French Cul de Sac.

Our snails are in creamy, garlicky broth, covered with puff pastry or try our eggs en meurette: eggs poached in a wine-based broth and served with pearl onions, mushrooms, and more. Try our version of the local fish soup or our remake of frogs legs with a parsley butter sauce and a millefeuille of celery. Before you order, always check the specials because there are always surprises in the Caribbean.

Have our mixed seafood platter, named from Newport to Nantucket, in honor of our friend, Harry. Our monkfish comes in a rich Burgundy sauce and our seabass comes a light orange and grapefruit buitter sauce. Our pork filet mignon has a cinnamon and raisin reduction sauce. The beef tenderloin Rossini is sure to please. Finish your meal with a cheese plate or one of our several desserts, including our speciality, sliced apples cooked in orange juice with warm ricotta and honey. The local wines in Lyon would be the Beaujolais and the Maconnaise to the north of Lyon and the Rhones to the south. Good sturdy wines, known more for power than perfume. We have them plus many more.

But it is better to experience the fun, food, and wine than to read about it. Come visit us on your next visit to St Martin.
