It's not in Simpson Bay, but the best supermarket with the best prices right now I think is the Super U in Marigot. It is where the Match used to be, if you remember that. Their prices are the best on island and while they do carry a lot of French products (as opposed to USDA grade meat <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />), please don't hold that against them!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Their meats and produce are excellent and they have wonderful prices on most everything, including wine!

For places to eat on the Dutch side, for high end, Temptation and Bajatzu, next level down, Pineapple Pete, and for good local food, Captain's D's, basically a lolo next to Royal Palm, and old favorite, Mark's. And as far as the French side, don't limit yourself only to Grand Case, although there are many great restaurants there, including my current favorites, Bistrot Cariabes, and Ocean 82. Do check out Dreams, on the beach in Nettle Bay, for lunch or dinner.

Enjoy!
