Le Pavillon

Information may not be reliable

In 1977 the house was leased to Fritz Dold and it was turned into a restaurant. He convinced his sister Gisele and brother-in-law Chef Claude Sinatsch that it would be a great idea to relocate from New York to St. Augustine. So, the house was purchased and Chef Claude and Gisele and their 2 children, Patricia and Claude Jr., made the move to St. Augustine. They occupied the upstairs, as the downstairs became Le Pavillon Restaurant. As the business grew, rooms were added and renovated but the restaurant still remains an old home. Now Patricia and Joseph Kelbert, along with Claude and Gisele, maintain Le PavilIon as a landmark of excellent food in the European style. Their love of the culinary arts has been passed form one generation to the next.
But, as time goes by we have, over the years, experienced some visitors from the past. The ghosts of Mr. Green and Mrs. Roe especially have been seen in the upstairs dining room. Doors swinging open and shut. Objects move and moaning and creaking is sometimes heard. Probably the old house is settling-or is it? You decide.
