Sister restaurant to Chef Xavier's and is in a lovely location by Vigi Airport. Set in a little bay it provides lovely french-Caribbean fusion cooking. Lovely service and would definitely recommend.

Food was delicious, drinks refreshing, try a few desserts! Located on the water. Don't be concerned when you turn down a dark alley!

Had lunch at the Coal Pot. Beautfully prepared food and an extensive menu. Prices not bad. Seems to attract business lunch types. Right on the water's edge.

Not a tourist restaurant - there were lots of locals and business lunches going on - but it was still very relaxed and we didn't feel too under-dressed in our shorts and tshirts. A great menu with fantastic fresh seafood - all reasonably priced. Absolutely delicious.

Our fourth visit to St Lucia and 8th visit to the Coal Pot. The menu changes very little but it retains its romantic, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' feel! We stick primarily to the fish dishes, coquilles st Jacques or prawn cocktail to start, then Dorado or Snapper with the coconut curry sauce, hmmm. If you're up to it local chocolate... More

The food was excellent, but there was no customization for children which was a shame paying a full price for an 11 year old girl. The ambiance was good, overlooking the bay.
