This waterfront bistro has been a mainstay of Saint Martin's culinary scene for many years and its French cuisine has definitely become a must-try for many tourists heading there. They also offer a full selection of continental dishes, from appetizers to dessert. Table reservation is recommended, since the restaurant usually gets very crowded.
Dining
Visitors to Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten will be spoiled with all of their choices when it comes to dining out. For lovers of French cuisine, there is probably nowhere else in the Caribbean where you can dine on à la carte and French-inspired gourmet food at such reasonably inexpensive prices. The food is usually al fresco or located on the beach, with fine wine lists to accompany the meal. Seek out the wonderfully aromatic Creole and Caribbean cuisine, or taste some other popular cooking styles, such as Mexican, Indonesian, and Italian. Most restaurants have a varied menu of meat, fresh fish, and shellfish dishes, while beach bars with non-stop barbecues offer spicy chicken and fish dishes cooked with traditional Caribbean recipes.
