There's no one called Madame Jeanette here. In fact, the name refers to a
variety of pepper used by cooks all around the island. Award-winning chefs
Kasi and Boris oversee the kitchen, which turns out a creative mix of Con-
tinental cuisine with an Austrian bent and a Caribbean twist. Prices are
amazingly reasonable. The garden seating is romantically charming. The
small diverse menu offers rotisserie beef, sauced seafood, and pork Cordon
Bleu. Madame is located a couple of miles inland, on the east/west road,
across from the Amsterdam Beach Resort.

Come hungry. It's all you can eat, and you'll want to eat a lot. First, you cre-
ate a feast from the bountiful salad bar that features traditional goodies,
plus delicacies such as portobello mushrooms, hearts of palm, and grilled
red peppers. Cheese bread and a nice selection of cooked veggie dishes are
brought to your table. Stop there if you're a light eater or vegetarian - oth-
erwise, summon the strolling meat carvers. They cruise the dining room
carrying a skewer of meat (beef, chicken, pork, and lamb) and a large carv-
ing knife. If you would like a serving of whatever they are carrying, simply
signal, and they will slice off a generous portion for you to take onto your
plate. If you'd like to try another selection, signal again. When you think
you can't eat another bite, stop signaling. Pace yourself, and save room for
one of the excellent desserts.
