Le Select Interior Bar- St. Barths
Le Select does not claim to offer gourmet meals, just a really good cheeseburger in friendly surroundings. Open since 1949, by Marius, Le Select Café is really in the center of downtown Gustavia: a block up from the quay and at an intersection where every car driving through Gustavia passes. Seating is mainly outdoors, so settling in at an outdoor table is a great location in which to watch life in St. Barths pass by while enjoying that for which Le Select Cafe is famous – A Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Inside, the café is dominated by a large wooden bar with tall bar stools, where many a mariner tale has been spun. Besides an age old landmark in downtown Gustavia, Le Select is also one of the best values in St. Barths for a burger and a beer. Walk up from the main quay, and stop in for a bite when in Gustavia, St. Barths on a crewed yacht charter.
