For years, we’ve been renting our villas in St. Barth from WIMCO, without question the premiere Villa Rental Agency on our favorite island. This year, we had to skip St. Barth since we were off to Asia. Our friends at WIMCO missed our annual restaurant rundowns. So they sent us this. It’s a Restaurant Guide that covers just some of the phenomenal places where you can rent the very best villas with the Concierge Services that make WIMCO the world leader in villa rentals. You can even use those Concierge Services to make reservations at every one of these great places to dine. As an added bonus, you can even ooh and ahhhh over the villas in every place mentioned here. And for more villa advice, go to www.wimco.com or write Bethany Ludwick, the Agent with the Mostest, at [email protected]
For those of you who delight in the gourmet life, why not plan your next vacation around some bucket-list restaurants? From Barbados to Cabo (and a whole lot in between), take a look at some must-try restaurants, and villas that are conveniently nearby.

Interni
This Greece-meets-Miami outdoor restaurant is one of the top places to be, not just for the scene, but for the incredibly fresh food. Start off with a signature cocktail (Viva El Mexico for a fun Mezcal), and be sure to leave room for their soufflé…. |

ALSO IN TOWN…
Katrin for a super authentic Greek meal (think spanakopita served tableside), Avra for romance under the bougainvillea, and Matsuhisa for your sushi fix. |

Flora Farms
One of the most enchanting restaurants that’s great for all occasions – romantic dinners, girls’ trips, or family meals. Nearly everything on the menu is sourced from their farm in Baja, or caught in the sea of Cortez. After dinner, chill out to their live music, and don’t miss the carrot margaritas…! Word to the wise, have us a hire a driver to take you here; the road is bumpy! |
