The fact that Guiyave is packed with local 
customers throughout the day speaks 
volumes for the food they serve. You see, 
Dominicans like their home cooking and 
Guiyave has to be doing something right to 
tempt folks away from their homes. 
Guiyave is situated in downtown Roseau 
on Cork Street. The charming, two storey 
establishment, owned and managed by 
Ronald Astaphan and his mother, has two 
sections. Downstairs is a patisserie which 
serves an endless array of mouthwatering 
goodies. Selections of French pastries, local 
patties and cakes, quiches, sandwiches and 
endless pies are all lined up seductively 
behind the glass counters. Any fleeting guilt 
pangs can be assuaged at the large salad 
bar which has an excellent variety of fresh 
items. Or you can just have a large ice 
cream. Local juices are always available but 
you'll have to wait until Saturday to sample 
Guiyave's rotis. 
The main restaurant on the second floor 
specializes in creole cuisine and there is 
nothing nicer than getting to Guiyave just 
before the lunch time crowds to sip a fresh 
juice and order one of the delicious daily 
specials. The menu changes daily and 
incorporates freshly prepared dishes like 
pumpkin soup, butterfly shrimp, Chinese

spare ribs, oven glazed chicken or baked 
fish with creole sauce. The meal comes 
complete with fresh, local vegetables and 
salad. There is also a snack menu and if 
you have any room left, there are usually 
three of the most tempting desserts lined up 
in the restaurant, just crying out to be 
sampled. 
Everything is homemade at Guiyave and 
anytime you are in town, be sure to pop in 
and try some of the good things that most 
Dominicans already know about. 
Guiyave's patisserie is open Monday to 
Friday from 9am to 5.30pm and 9am to

Anne Jn Baptiste, the proprietress of 
Papillote has created a Garden of Eden 
around her establishment. She has built her 
rooms and restaurant in one of the most 
beautiful spots in Dominica, a mountainous 
wilderness not far from the boundaries of the 
Trois Pitons National Park. She has 
surrounded the buildings with exquisite 
foliage. The rich soil is alive with orchids and 
bromeliads and her botanical gardens are 
among the finest privately owned specimens 
in the Caribbean. 
The land bubbles with hot, mineral water 
and Mrs. Jn Baptiste has constructed a hot 
pool right in the middle of the restaurant. 
Customers can enjoy the reviving waters 
either before or after their meal. A manmade 
mini waterfall cascades just, outside the 
restaurant. And if you want the real thing, the 
Trafalgar Falls are just minutes away. 
The sound of rushing waters surround you 
at Papillote and the gushing and gurgling is 
only interrupted by the intermittent cackle of 
some of the most unusual looking fowls that 
live among the gardens. 
The menu at Papillote is best described 
as healthfood prepared creole style. Every¬ 
thing is extremely fresh and very simply 
cooked. It is also delicious. Salads and local 
vegetables accompany flying fish and mahi-

mahi dishes. River prawns are usually 
available and mountain chicken (Dominica's 
national dish) is specially prepared whenever 
it is in season. The restaurant also serves 
chicken. Fresh juices are always chilled and 
refreshing. 
Papillote has just opened a brand new 
restaurant on the property with seating for 60 
people. While the menu has been expanded, 
the food maintains its excellence. A hot 
water pool has been built in the new 
establishment just for restaurant clientele. 
An excellent day trip is to hike to the 
Trafalgar Falls, take a cold plunge into pool 
at the bottom of the icy "mother" falls and 
then head to Papillote for lunch to satisfy the 
appetite you worked up on the way. You 
won't be disappointed. 
Papillote opens Monday to Saturday from 
10am to 4pm. Breakfast and dinner are 
available to resident guests while the 
restaurant opens to the public for lunch. 
Large parties are advised to make 
reservations and Mrs. Jn Baptiste will take 
outside bookings for dinner once she is 
called in advance. Telephone 44-82287.
