On the black sand beach at Le Carbet on Martinique’s Caribbean coast, Le Petibonum is one of the French Caribbean’s most beloved and most beautifully situated restaurant bars: fresh Creole cuisine, cold Ti Punch rum cocktails, and the extraordinary view of Mt. Pelee rising above the beach create a setting unlike anything else in the Caribbean. Ti Punch (white rum, cane syrup, lime) is the ritual drink; the fish is from the boats that morning; and the whole experience is unmistakably, gloriously French Caribbean.
