The best restaurant in St Laurent, 'the Schooner' is indeed built boatlike over the river and offers a selection of breezy tables with great views toward Suriname. The food is excellent, with a range of seafood and meat dishes as well as a vegetarian plate. It's a short distance from town – take a taxi.
