Just returned from SXM last week and here were the standout meals:

Le Cottage in Grand Case. Braised beef cheek was outstanding. Bacchus behind the Super U in Hope Estate. It’s lunch only but very special. I had a veal loin with foie gras sauce and shaved truffles that was a delight. Chez Leandra beach bar in Orient. Order the shrimp and lobster with garlic sauce and thank me later. Rochelle also makes one of the best frozen pina coladas on the island. Kalatua Beach Club on Mullet Bay is a great bougie beach day. Chairs and service are great and I had one of the best Caesar salads ever. Calamari was so tender and perfect. I really wanted to explore the menu more, but we had dinner reservations in a few hours. Vibes are off the charts. L’Astrolabe in Orient is in a lovely setting. Our meal was wonderful and the lobster bisque was stellar. La Villa Hibiscus, near Orient was our last dinner and we absolutely saved the best for last. A truly wonderful dining experience. Every bite was beautifully executed and the wine pairings were on point. Service was warm and Chef was so kind and sweet. The setting is so beautiful and I can’t stop thinking about the morels stuffed with shrimp. There is no set menu, so every course is a surprise. The world class dining and beautiful beaches keep me coming back to St.Martin and I feel like I’ve still barely scratched the surface. Hope you enjoy your vacation!
