We ate at this little French restaurant and had a great experience. Le Cottage is just along the main street in Grand Case. The staff were all very chatty and full of stories and tips for things to do. The owner, Bruno, came to our table all through the evening just to make conversation and even wanted us to send him the photos we took. All in all, it was a very personable experience , not to mention how great the food was. The cuisine was definitely French with a variety of sweetbreads, veal, frog legs, snails, etc. It was not cheap, but for the standard of food, we found it very reasonable. If you are not a fan of the French food, don't be put off, as there was lots of pasta and fresh seafood available too. I had the snails which were a great texture and in a garlic sauce. You can sit out on the sidewalk, but it's a bit close to the dirt road. So you are more likely to get dust in your food as the local boy racers head through. Still, it’s good to people watch, as this is the main street in Grand Case. However, inside was really pretty with candles and flowers on each table and a Caribbean decor.

Le Cottage is located on the main road through Grand Case; however, it's not on the beach. This is probably the only drawback of the restaurant, though.

The food was excellent, and the restaurant even has a wine aficionado who can recommend wines with your entrees. They have a nice array of dishes to choose from and probably the best and most extensive wine list of any restaurant we tried. Not connoisseurs ourselves, we happily took a recommendation and were not disappointed.

I was feeling slightly less adventurous that evening and played it safe with my appetizer by choosing the French Onion soup. It was slightly different than the American standard (maybe a different type of cheese mixed in?), but it was quite tasty. And the lamb dish I tried for my entree was delicious. I topped the meal off with (yet another) chocolate dessert, which was quite good (although not quite as good as the one I tried at Temptation - you can see my recommendation for that as well).

All in all, we really enjoyed our experience at Le Cottage, although we wished the restaurant had been located on the beach. I love the beach terraces at many of the restaurants, and on warm evenings, it makes a big difference!
