Found out about this place from other guests at our resort. It was so incredible we went twice on our trip and would have gone again if we had another day. Reservations are a good idea. Every item on the menu is made with some form of Cocoa. The menu is both delicous and creative. From beef to seafood you... More

White chocolate mashed potatoes--to die for! Ate there 2 of the 4 nights we were in St. Lucia--worth every bite! The only complaint from my husband was the portion size--not a lot of food for a big guy.

Delicous cocoa inspired dining with great service. We ate 4 dinners here, and each time the quality was excellent. Friendly, attentive service and open kitchen helped the experience. The menu all contains cocoa which I thought would be oppressive but is subtly and skilfully included, using all parts of the pod. There's a great view of the petit piton from... More

We had two lovely meals at Boucan recently. We made reservations for the Friday night to secure a table. It was fairly busy when we arrived with some not so well dressed punters. They must have forgot they were dining in one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, Some people have no sence of occassion but the staff treated... More

The deserts at the Plantation I was staying at really lacked in the chocolate department. Boy, did Boucan deliver!! I wanted to leave with several bottles of their chocolate/balsamic sauce but sadly, the chef hasn't yet realized the gold mine he has =( It was soooooo yummy! I was too excited about my lava cake desert to eat my burger... More

My husband and I spent a week in St Lucia, part of the week in the north and part in the south. Several people suggested that we have dinner here. Mind you we traveled during low season so not many people here at the time. We did not think about making a dinner reservation when we arrived there were not... More

We were fully booked with a private function that evening. Apologies that our gatehouse team were not as forthcoming with the explanation as we would have expected. Booking is definitely recommended, such a pity that we couldn’t show you our true hospitality. Perhaps next time. More

This place has got it right! Our dinner date here was wonderful, probably our best meal while in St Lucia, oh and the best wine too (we were staying at the Sugar Beach resort) I loved the open kitchen. The chefs took pride in their dishes - the smile said it all! The food was fabulous. Delicious chocolate twists here... More

We had lunch here while visiting Soufriere. We didn't originally come to eat as we wanted to tour the chocolate factory but we arrived after 9:00am and that's the only tour time. So we went to Sugar beach and returned for lunch. The dining area is situated to get a beautiful view of the Petit Piton, dead center of the... More

Not sure where the hype is coming from! Just keeping our heads down and focusing on trying to build and maintain a reputation for unique and authentic food. Please give us another chance to impress but perhaps come with an open mind. More
