Where to Eat
Simply put, there is a higher concentration of world-class restaurants in St Martin than anywhere else in the Caribbean. But you pretty much can’t go wrong at any restaurant on the island, whether a haute-cuisine eatery or a food truck. Right now, the destination’s top restaurant is Le Pressoir in Grand Case, led by Caribbean Chef of the Year Franck Mear. But the town is filled with similarly excellent eateries, from Le Soleil (the duck is superb) to Spiga (try any ravioli) to Le Tastevin (an exquisite place to eat). Beyond Grand Case, the must-try lunch is at Anse Marcel Beach Restaurant, while the under-the-radar Palm Beach is a lovely spot at the edge of Orient Bay. And then there are the famous Lolos, the Creole food stalls of Grand Case.
