The Island Table Collection: A St Barts Stay Built Around What You Eat
The stay built around what is eaten: the morning market decides, the chef executes, you have only to sit down.
Who it is for
Some travellers remember a place by its light, others by its meals. This collection is built for the second kind. Island Table is a permanent collection from our St Barts atelier — not a package sold from a brochure, but a way of composing an entire stay around a single intention.
The approach
A collection for those whose travels are remembered through meals. Here the chef does not arrive in the evening: he lives the stay with you. The menu is not written in advance, it is decided on the return from the market and the day's landings — <a href="/guide/private-chef-st-barts-cost/">lobster when it is there</a>, never the reverse. The collection adds what a villa cannot do alone: the table set in the sand one evening, the Caribbean cooking class for those who want to understand, a wine tasting led by a sommelier, the picnic carried to Colombier. Twenty-five years of island practice fit in one sentence: we know who fishes what, and when.
What the Island Table collection includes
The collection is not a menu to pick from — it is a composed whole. Its building blocks: Chef in residence, menus decided at the market. One dinner with feet in the sand per stay. Caribbean cooking class at the villa. Wine & champagne tasting with a sommelier. Each element is arranged in advance and adjusted to your party once we know it.
Practical notes
Island Table is a permanent collection, available year-round and composed to each stay. Pricing depends on villa size, party and dates rather than a fixed rate, which is why the collection is quoted as a single all-inclusive figure agreed before arrival — accommodation, chef, provisioning, experiences, vehicle and concierge in one number, with a written exclusion list so nothing surprises you on the island.
How to book it
The Island Table collection is orchestrated as a single stay with one point of contact — villa, chef, experiences and logistics agreed before you fly, nothing left to assemble on arrival. The full formats, seasonality and current availability live on the <a href="/collections/table-d-ile/">collection page</a>, and every stay is composed to the party rather than sold from a shelf.
Questions
Can a menu be fixed in advance?
It can, but it means giving up the best of it. We prefer to know your tastes and your limits, then let the market decide — that is where the memorable meals are.
Are special diets honoured?
Without exception: allergies, gluten-free, vegetarian, kosher on prior request. A matter of preparation, not of constraint.
Who is the Island Table collection for?
For travellers who remember a trip by its meals. The chef lives the stay with you and writes each menu from the morning market and the day's landings, not from a card fixed in advance.
