The cheese plate was great. He made a tuna plate with the tuna canned locally. He introduced us to the delicious red onions in a vinegar brine. He also brought out a dish of a meat mixture used as a dip or spread. He told us about the climate and grapes on the different islands. The bread was fresh and we destroyed the fig jam! The shop carries many local products. We got a sampling of local liqueurs before settling on our favorite. This kind of personal attention is rare; it was our best stop of the week!

One of their gins contains seaweed; that story was hilarious listening to how they figured out the recipe. This was a fun and interesting way to spend a couple hours on the island.

They gave us great activity recs too, as delightful as their chocolate mousse with a zingy creative fun pepper twist you gotta try it! My daughter's favorite was the beef tartar; it was very fresh and balanced so well.
