Chateau Bordeaux to reopen..................

[Pia]

...........next month as a new restaurant

Info can be found at www.stjohntradewindsnews.com but here is a quote.....

"Monsanto will hire an esteemed island chef, who she declined to name, and plans to unveil a menu brimming with French Caribbean cuisine and some classic West Indian dishes. While there is a new owner, the restaurant will retain the name Chateau Bordeaux and the same elegant ambiance."

Thanks Pia, I just saw that over at Tradewinds...good restaurant news!

Any local buzz on who the "esteemed island chef" is???

I posted over on the Tradewinds site, I wonder if she is getting Ted Robinson back

Well with that view ya just had to know it wasn't going to sit long. Wish they would go the moderate route, maybe something in line with Rhumlines prices as I refuse to pay that kind of $$$$$ for food. Actually think they would make a better go of it in this economy. People are scaling back even if they can still afford to make it to St John.JMHO

Even better if they took a page from Plancha Del Mar and serve fabulous affordable plates in this wonderful location. I'm really interested in hearing more next month when they open and I'm hoping that they do well.

That's great news! Everytime I've been to STJ it's been closed for one reason or another. I've always wanted to eat there, and now the menu sounds like it'll be yummy!

Glad to hear the news. I missed going there on our last trip.

That would be fantastic but might make the restaurant kind of on the high-end side (?).

Whoever the chef will be, looking forward to hearing about the restaurant more next month and beyond.

That is great! That place has such a great view. To maximize it, the new owners should screen in the open air porch and put more railside tables out there, unless they are planning on continuing a lunch service.

If it's Ted cooking I would arrange a taxi to bring me from wherever I was staying on the island. I still remember the flavor of his seafood dishes and his white chocolate tarragon souffle.

Anyplace that has an "esteemed island chef" is too expensive for me. Best of luck to the new owners and those working there.
