We spent yesterday just sitting on or walking up and down Grace Bay beach. The water was rough, but it’s too cold to swim anyway. The waves were large
We walked the length of the beach. This is the pier in front of the Club Med resort. The end of it is long gone
Grace Bay Club automatically made us a dinner reservation at Infiniti when we checked in, but I did not want to go back there since we had already eaten there earlier in the trip. Instead, my husband read about a French bistro place about 1/2 mile from the club, Le Bouchon du Village, and we were able to snag an early table. It’s an outdoor restaurant as you can see
We were the third party to arrive, but by the time we left it was completely full with a long line waiting to get in. Here is the menu, in its entirety
The owner of the restaurant also owns a bakery and sandwich shop across the street. They are closed Sundays or we would probably walk back and check it out this morning. Amuse bouche of tomato tart
The waiter explained the accompaniments to the various dishes on the menu, and said that they had local wahoo, snapper, tuna, grouper and lobster that evening. He highly recommended the mussels to share as a starter. They came with a plate of skinny fries for dipping in the sauce, but we tried not to eat those haha
I chose the snapper buerre blanc, which came with mashed potatoes and the most delicious vegetables. This was by far my favorite plate of food. I cleaned my plate, and I never do that!
Husband chose the wahoo, which was lightly dusted with curry and pan seared, then served with the same vegetables I had, rice, and a garlic butter on the side (but in an actual dish this time, not a little plastic cup). He said it was perfectly cooked and delicious.
For dessert, they brought out a huge tray of things to choose from: various tarts, mousse, tiramisu, and pastries. We decided to indulge and split a creme brulee
Then we walked back to the Grace Bay Club for a cup of tea by the windy and chilly fire pit
We will probably be doing lunch somewhere instead of dinner today because of the Super Bowl. The Club was planning on hosting a watch party of the lawn if it’s not too cold. We will see what the day brings.
