Restaurants in French St. Martin
|
| Well, the Frenchmen are known for their "savoir vivre", and this is especially true for food & wine! Thus, when you are exploring the French gastronomy of the island, you can be sure to find many, many places serving excellent food. Some of them are ranked under the top 10 of the Caribbean. On French St Martin, there are mainly three areas with a high concentration of restaurants and bars: Marigot offers you French and international dining, basically along the harbor road and around the bustling, pretty Marina Royale. | There is a great cosmopolitan atmosphere in the air, and you will feel a bit like in Europe. Grand Case - the Gourmet capital of the Caribbean - is famous for its fantastic Gourmet Cuisine. This little charming fishing village has become a popular destination for top chefs from France, who come to the island for the season. Orient Bay offers a large choice of beach bar restaurants serving international cuisine, cocktails and snacks, along with music and, sometimes, party life. |
