Some of the best restaurants on the island are located on the French side so you're in for a treat if you decide to try them on this trip. Between Grand Case, Marigot and Nettle Bay, you have a wide range of choices. Excellent and delicious, but also high end, French food in Grand Case includes Ocean 82, Testavin, Auberge Gourmand, Bistro Caribe and more. Casual in Marigot include the many choices in the Marina Royale such as Tropicana, Cafe de Paris, La Belle Epoch and La Main a la Pate. In Nettle Bay you'll find MaTi Beach (my favorite) as well as Dreams (excellent) and Le Sand (expensive). I'm sure you are going to get a lot of responses to your question, as everyone has their favorites, but the list above is a pretty good start.
