St. Martin is my favorite Caribbean island for a few reasons. The most significant of those being the incredible dining available on the island.

Grand Case is where you want to be for good dining on St. Martin. One one street there are about 15 exceptional restaurants.

Spiga is the best italian restaurant on the island! I liked it so much I ate there twice during the course of my last week long visit in June. The food and service are superb. http://www.grandcase.com/spiga/

For high-quality French food there are so many offerings in Grand Case. I've tried about 5 different French restaurants there (all very good) but the one which stood out the most was Auberge Gourmande. http://www.laubergegourmande.com/

On the Dutch side, I always enjoy going to Cheri's Cafe near Maho Beach at least once during my visit. Certainly not fine dining, but they have some great burgers and lively environment.

I would not leave the island without visiting these three places. For any of the restaurants in Grand Case, be sure to get a reservation a few days in advance.

I hope this helps. PM me if you need more info.
