Chefs X.O. La Boutique
Gustavia's chef-driven takeaway and villa catering all-star
Why Go
On a quiet corner of La Pointe in Gustavia, Chefs X.O. quietly powers half the island's most talked-about villa dinners — and moonlights as a walk-in boutique where you can grab the same chef-crafted plates for €11.
The Experience
Chefs X.O. wears two hats, and both are worth knowing. Step into La Boutique on Rue Jeanne d'Arc and you'll find a bright, casual deli-style counter stocked with the day's freshly composed salads, fish and meat mains, and desserts made from scratch that morning. Order at the counter, grab a seat at one of the few tables, or take everything to go for a beach picnic at Shell Beach five minutes away. Behind the scenes, the same team runs one of St Barth's most established private-chef and catering operations — more than 15 years cooking in villas, aboard yachts, and at private events across the island. The style leans contemporary bistro with tropical accents: think seared tuna and poke bowls, quinoa and roasted vegetable salads, slow-cooked short ribs, and pastry-case classics that punch well above their takeaway price. It's the kind of place locals default to when they want restaurant-quality food without the restaurant.
What to Try
Ask for the daily fish special — it's built around whatever came off the boats that morning and is usually the smartest order. The composed salads (poke bowls, quinoa with roasted vegetables, chef's chicken salad) are ideal beach fuel, and the pastry case is a sleeper hit for a mid-morning croissant or a slice of tart. If you're staying in a villa, book them for a private dinner and let the team design the menu around what's freshest that week.
Insider Tip
Delivery orders must be placed before 11am — call or WhatsApp +590 690 86 18 41 first thing if you want lunch dropped at your villa or boat. For villa dinners, book the private-chef service at least a few days ahead in high season; the same crew handles yacht provisioning, so the calendar tightens fast around holidays and regatta week.
