A simple beach shack like this is probably the last place you’d expect to enjoy a 5-course gourmet meal, but that’s exactly what I got when I visited Le Petibonum during my most recent visit to Martinique last month.
I’ve been to Martinique many times in the past few years and had heard of Le Petibonum before, but to say that it exceeded my expectations would be a large understatement. In all my travels, I have never been anywhere that better combines the rustic allure of Caribbean beach shacks with world class cuisine.
Le Petibonum is the brainchild of local chef Guy Ferdinand, who fancies himself as more of an artist than anything else.
