This is a really great place to visit when you are near the small airport. Food selection is outstanding, I had the king fish with garlic sauce. The tables are on a deck right on the water so you get some really great views.

We came over to The Coal Pot, straight from the Vigie airport, a little frazzled and quite hungry. It was the odd time between lunch and dinner, and the waitress told us so, but we decided to stay and have a drink anyway. Within two minutes, she returned with the great news that she had spoken to the Chef and... More

Our party of four arrived at twilight (with a full moon rising) and the place was magical. Candles and the little harbor, ah. The drinks were yummy. The menu interesting with lots of variety (within the theme of seafood, mind you). Four dishes of fish cooked four ways: coconut curry was the best. The waiter brought us three rums to... More

I was recovering from the prior evening's shenanigans and didn't have much of an appetite so I just had a drink and some creme brulee. It was quite delicious! I am still having trouble deciding if creme brulee technically rhymes with Robert Goulet. I guess so, but it still bothers me.

Located across the street from the Vigie Airport (the smaller airport) and on the waterfront of Vigie Bay. This place is situated in a small bay where you can see small fish waiting for any scraps to fall in the water from the nearby tables. The waitress brings out a huge menu, which is basically a black board and describes... More
