Rainforest Restaurant at Papillote

Papillote has been dubbed "the ultimate of a natural retreat" because it is only a short walk from Trafalgar Falls and only 15 minutes by car from Roseau. Nature walks, wildlife, hot and cold pools, waterfalls, and superb Creole food make this a perfect vacation getaway. The Rainforest Restaurant, set among four acres of beautiful botanical gardens with sweeping views of the Roseau Valley, serves a wide range of delectable local dishes like pumpkin or callalou soup, flying fish platters, dasheen or breadfruit puffs, our famous steamed fish wrapped in banana leaf, and fresh, plentiful salads.

Dine at a temperature that's cold enough for a throw blanket but warm enough for after-dinner talk. First, relax in a hot mineral bath in the Papillote Wilderness Retreat grounds while sipping a powerful rum punch. The menu has increased, but callaloo soup, dasheen puffs, fish "rain forest" (marinated with papaya and wrapped in banana leaves), and other creole-style specialties are still available. This attractive Caribbean restaurant boasts one of the nicest views in the area. A wonderful setting for a romantic supper, a business meeting, a getaway, a celebration, and more.
