Hello Everyone,

If you like to eat out, living on St.Thomas can be a challenge.  Don’t get me wrong , there are several fine dining restaurants that are very good .  In the future I will blog on them, too.  But living here , it can get very expensive to hit the fine dining spots as often as I would like.  So, what I would like to do  is tell visitors and whomever ends up reading this,  about the restaurants that are not  advertised in the hotel concierge books.

The first would be Betsy’s Bar and Jahne’s restaurant in Frenchtown.  Betsy hails from Wisconsin and has been on St.Thomas over 25 years.

I would compare Betsy’s to the local bar on “Cheers” where everyone knows your name and is located at the West end of Charlot Amalie in French Town.

Landmarks would be the Post office on Waterfront , McDonald’s and the French Town  Baseball Park.  If you see any of those , your close to Betsy’s.

Daily Specials and soups.    Lots of local color and safe environment.

This past week Grilled Swordfish was a special that surpassed any fine dinning for flavor $20.00 includes two sides.

The H O soup on the menu every day is to die for, filled with seafood and served in a bread bowl for the hearty or large cup for the not so hearty eaters.

Lunch is served 11:30 am to 2:30 pm   Supper served 5 Pm to 10 pm

For those who like the late night crowds.  Betsy is the gathering  place for all of the other establishment employee’s that close around midnight.

Betsy’s offers a late night menu until closing , which sometimes could be in the early morning hours.  

Betsy’s has her own parking lot and an attendant most nights.

Check it out and let me know what you think of Betsy’s
