We stayed across the road at Ladera and fancied a change of scenery. We loved it so much we returned again the following night and also did their "tree to bar" experience making our own chocate! The food and experience unlike traditional st lucian food restaurant. A real boutique result with elegant gastro dining. Great food, stylish venue and ultra... More

We had heard so much about this restaurant using cocoa in everything dish they made so we had to try it. We were a bit disappointed in the service, limited menu selection (I'm a vegan so I there was only one dish I could select - they would not do any modifications to other dishes to accommodate me), and the...

I didn't initially even like the sound of "chocolate with everything"--I'm not even that big a fan of chocolate--But it's not what you might expect--this restaurant is up there with the top of the top--Gary Danko in SFO has nothing on these guys. Everything I ate (all the dinner vegetarian selections,--which were many and varied, daily breakfast and most of... More

My husband and I were staying across the street and heard of this restaurant so decided to try dinner. Service was very very slow and not attentive. They were training new staff and there was much confusion. We had fish that was dry and over cooked. Dinner was expensive for poor service and poor food. Chocolate everything is unique and... More

We were staying at Suger Beach and as is our wont, we always like to go out and try different places to eat. We were told that Boucan would be an experiance as you get Chocolate /Cocoa with everthing. The Resturant is open of three sides and you enter up some stairs on the forth where there is a permanant... More

My boyfriend ordered the ribeye steak. It was about half an inch thick. He ordered it medium rare, and it came out close to well done because the meat just wasn't thick enough to cook and sear properly. I had the ground provision hot pot which was very well seasoned and lovely, but I did not taste cocoa in the... More

We ate here while we were staying at the Ladera and were very excited off the bat. The restaurant seems very modern, with a really stylish look and menu offerings. The appetizers were delicious, but the entrees fell a bit flat. They use chocolate in everything in some way, and it doesn't really affect the taste so much, so it's... More

We dined at Boucan restaurant and was booked to do the "tree to bar" chocolate tour the next day. While the resort seems fine, the restaurant was a bit disorganised - rushing us through service, only to take 30 min to bring the bill (after repeated requests) and then passing incorrect information to our taxi driver, sending him back to...

There was chocolate in everything, and the restaurant was within walking distance to Ladera. Very cool decor as well.

Sophisticated setting and charming staff added to the delicious lunch we had at Boucan. Very tasty dishes incorporated chocolate creatively and even the non-chocoholic in our party (me) enjoyed every morsel. Wonderful to have a great view of the Pitons in the background as well, adding to the unique atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Cocoa plantation is attached to hotel... More
