Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant comes highly recommended for good reason - the food is very good. Sadly they were out of the specials and langouste - a local speciality by 7:30 - but what we ordered was very good too. Red snapper and steak. The one server was rushed and pushed to serve all the tables in a timely manner lending a unnecessary stress to the evening. Lovely setting on the water but they need one more server.

I had a bit different imagination about the area/location and the views before we arrived but despite a small let down on that end I must say it was a really good lunch, great service and overall a very nice experience.
It's more of a fine dining place and the portions/prices resemble this approach but the quality is definitely there and that makes up for that in my book, though may not work for others. English was spoken perfectly so the communication is perfect if you have any questions about the dishes/menu etc. - would I return? Most likely yes if someone told me that it's much easier to find a parking spot here... which can be a problem (we went around the area twice to finally settle on OK spot, and that was during "still COVID" November 2021 in the middle of the week...)
TIP: they have some rhums of course if you are into trying... sipping etc., as much as I love rum/rhum/ron I just came here after visiting 10 distilleries in Martinique and 2 on Guadeloupe that exact day so I passed but the collection looked very inviting :)

We've been coming to Guadeloupe regularly every 2 years or so since 2000, and have always been impressed by the quality of the restaurants. Even what you might think of as average looking restaurants has great food. This is because the French love good food and eating out, and expect high quality. Le Rhumarin not only meets but far exceeds one's expectations. The food is spectacularly good and very affordable, the service is wonderful, the wines are excellent and not expensive, the location over the water is great.
I took the special, which was lobster potato mash, and my wife took the dorade, both excellent. For starters we shared a plate of accras. Highly recommend all.
It is only a smallish place and doesn't have a lot of tables, so book a day or two early to be sure as it fills up every night.
We'll certainly be going back here again.

Went there last night. We would actually rate it 3 .5 stars on a collected rating, but let us start at the beginning. A key problem we all had was the tiny and quite frankly uninspiring wine list. This needs to be improved. We all enjoyed our starters, which were shared plates. The mains were rated high by one for the fillet, but good by 2 and terrible by one for their fillet. The challenge being it was about 3cm thick at one end and .5cm at the other. Pretty hard to to cook medium rare with a large piece of gristle in the middle.
The desserts were great. Also on the very positive side was the quality of service and the ambience of the location. So guys, work on your wine list and get your act in gear on consistency of your steak and you have a wonderful chance to succeed

Le Rhumarin is located in a lovely setting with views to the sea. There is a good range of choices for starters and mains. The main course, which was fish, was particularly good with lovely mash and a sauce, which was tasty and light. What let the experience down for us was that the service was rushed, even though it was not particularly busy, and the wine list is very poor. No really decent white wines in particular (and we are big white wine drinkers). We will come back and try again!

We very much enjoyed our dinner here last week! We had ti punch to start, and then shared a bottle of white over the chilled pea soup and burrata entrees, then tuna tartare and the tuna in coconut milk as plats. Flavors were spot on - the kitchen has the perfect hand with the seasonings (enough to be interesting, not so much to be overwhelming), and the tuna was cooked beautifully. We rarely order dessert out, but thought the other courses so excellent that we lingered; the tiramisu and ice cream were a lovely pair. Would happily return on another trip!

I fancied something traditional so I went for Souris d'Agneau and it was as good as I've had anywhere in France or the UK. The service was friendly and sufficiently attentive. The starters were a little pricey but the good bottle of Bordeaux was fair. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I rarely rate a restaurant badly out of respect for the fact that there can be hiccups, but here...
Arriving in an overheated and poorly ventilated room, we had reserved a table on the edge of the terrace, here we are in the middle of the restaurant, stuck between the stairs and a noisy table nearby. Either way, that’s life, we’ll survive.
The waiter comes to take our order after 10 seconds, brilliant, but too fast... we will wait 15 minutes to see him again.
And there are the fireworks.
The drinks arrive quite quickly, but too bad, one is missing which will arrive 10 minutes later. Health.
The entries arrive, except one, which must be claimed 3x.
When she finally arrives, it is to see the main dishes arrive immediately, thrown on the table like one gets rid of bad cards. Enjoy your food.
When we point out to the waitress that the accompaniments are not good, she shrugs her shoulders and leaves.
Spent 1h30 in the middle of the draft from the kitchens. The impression of having eaten next to the fryer. 2 hours later I still smell the smell and I'm not talking about the clothes. And it's like that throughout the restaurant. Maybe different at the edge of the terrace, but we'll never know.
No apology for the poor service.
Basta cosi et adios.
Me too.
Adios and forever.
Paid 180eur with 2 children to smell the fried food, have a bad time in an overheated and noisy place and have one of the worst services in the last 10 years.
The kitchens look dirty and unorganized. The restaurant next door looks much better.
Bye
Nb: the dishes are difficult to appreciate in such a setting. It was okay, nothing more. Didn't feel the Provence blend. Didn't feel like Guadeloupe either. Tuna cooked perfectly raw to the core... how can I put it... 4 pieces, 4 different cooking options, only 1 just right. That's what...

Hello.
We were served a damaged fish tartare we did not eat it but I saw that other people were intoxicated and sick the same day different table saw other comment
The response is really disappointing
"Sorry about your health"
Ordering child meals we never had the 30% marked on the card the dish is returned almost full
They came to see us at the table to tell us that a gesture will be made on the dishes including inedible fish but nothing on the addition only a dessert offered we wanted a discount as promised on the addition 4 dishes out of 4 inedible
Flat anyway at 35€ per person we stayed with hunger in the belly
Too bad.
Seen in other property responses Fresh frozen fish
But the kitchen told us that the fish had not been frozen , I know the hygiene rules a fish must be frozen at least a week to be eaten raw!!!! So lie
The bill was salted to eat nothing
228 € to 4
Too bad for them.

Sublime restaurant, right in the Guadeloupenne decor. Too bad you have to book a good week in advance to get a table on the lagoon side, specifying this on the site would have been good.
On the team side, they are super welcoming, from start to finish, with little care.
As for meals, there is no children's menu; they choose the same menus as we have but the portion is adapted and 30% cheaper.
I had a passion fruit mojito as an aperitif, just sublime, the best I've had so far.
As for the main course, be careful the starters are copious and so we were no longer very hungry for the main courses (sea bream tartare with tomato and goat cheese: surprising but very good with home fries to die for).
I recommend because it is well located and a big plus for the view which remains magnificent.

Extremely expensive New Year's menu for what was there: dry guinea fowl without any morels even though the menu indicated. Disappointing dessert for the price. Stifling heat inside with staff reluctant to negotiate anything to reduce the heat. On the other hand, you receive 18 emails before the evening to warn you that it is in your interest to eat on time because the goal is for you to eat quickly so that the boss can collect two or three services the same evening. As a result, you always have the waiters on your back, sometimes they even take away unfinished glasses, you make starter, main course, dessert and coffee in one hour tops time for two for euros 315 euros!! The quicker you die and no atmosphere. Long live the New Year's Eve and its ultra-commercial side of I want to make money at all costs. Above all, don't start again. It's not worth this price. Abstain. We have experienced real gastro a thousand times better at the same price.

Bienvenue en 2024.
Vous n’aviez pas une heure pour manger, mais 2h30 comme il vous a été stipulé par mail et lors de votre prise de réservation, nous travaillons en deux service . En aucun cas les gens sont pressé de manger en 1 heure.. nous travaillons des produits frais. Je reste néanmoins désolé que cela ne vous est pas plus sincèrement.

Much worse than usual!
Far too many waitresses who run in all directions without communicating!
We are asked 3 times the same thing in 10 minutes, we are constantly pressed to know if we have finished our aperitif, our starter, our dish! Looks like this restaurant is in a hurry to leave our table!
They bring us the dessert menu before we have our dishes (anarchy in the service, no communication).
The quantities are sometimes very light: foie gras as a starter is not more than 50 grams, charged 25€, it is really not reasonable!
Moreover, we were totally forgotten by the staff when it came to raping truffles on our dishes!
In short, a well-salted addition and a chaotic meal from start to finish!
Pull yourself together! And train your emergency personnel!

Bonjour
Merci pour votre visite, nous sommes au regret de lire que vous n’avez pas été satisfait de votre expérience dans notre établissement, mais nous aurions préféré un avis en direct et une réponse franche à notre question : tout c’est bien passé ?
Nous avons effectivement 2 serveuses en formation, cela fait que la qualité du service n’est pas à 100% et j’en suis bien désolé, même si nous ne sommes pas dans la catastrophe bien au contraire, puisque je suis de près les choses
Notre foie gras est à 21€ et non 25€, pour une tranche comme nous la servons depuis 5 ans.
Je note pour l’oubli de la truffe et m’en excuse.
Merci néanmoins pour votre visite
Bien cordialement

We visited Guadeloupe for 8 days in February 2024 and this was the best meal we had on the Island. Rhumarin is a pretty French restaurant in Saint Francois with great staff and a good French wine list - what more could we ask for... My husband chose the slow cooked lamb as his main course, I am vegetarian and chose the fresh pasta in a cream sauce, served with truffles.
Both dishes were delightful; for dessert we chose the Cafe Gourmand and my husband finished his meal with a complimentary tot of home made Banana rum.
The waitress with the "blue hair" was very knowledgeable and as a bonus spoke perfect English. We found that all the staff were very welcoming.
It is essential to book and this can easily be done online.
Leave plenty of time to park your car as parking in Saint Francois can be very difficult.

Since this address was recommended to us, we took the plunge and it was simply delicious. A very friendly team was at the meeting, and a chef who mastered his dishes well. A coconut tuna for us, a truffle tartare, a devilish dessert Comme un Bounty, all served with a very cold Cheverny. The combo to have a good time. If I can just allow myself a mini review, the Giraumon accras would be perfect if they were half the size (they suppress the appetite in addition to not being practical to eat)

Magnificent setting, superb decor and friendly staff but a lot of waiting (more than an hour) between the aperitif and the main course. They had forgotten a dish and we waited again, but the waitress apologized, I understand that there can be failures sometimes, they are not idle! The menu is tempting, everything is tempting! We took the most expensive plate at €35, everything was good but we expected a little more in quantity. The two foie gras toasts are really small! The desserts were tempting but we passed on our turn for fear of the wait.
