Assuming you are staying at BSV, if you don't want to drive too far, I'd suggest checking out some of the Maho venues - Le Moulin Fou is my personal favorite in that area, particularly on Tuesday evenings when Cheri's is closed, but there are some others that are pretty awesome, too. Bajatzu, Pizza Pasta, LaRosa Too and probably others as well. We used to love FIG in its previous location but have heard nothing since it relocated to Maho.

If you want to drive to Cupecoy, a bit further up the road, most of the Starz Casino restaurants are excellent - Basillico, the Grill, and of course, Temptation to name a few. Or on to Porto Cupecoy, Marios Bistrot is not to be missed but does generally require a reservation. And steak night at the Green Monkey at Ocean Club is a treat for a basic but casual and reasonably priced steak dinner.

Heading in the complete opposite direction towards Simpson and Cole Bays, there are so many great places - Skipjacks for seafood, Lee's for more casual seafood and ribs, Pineapple Petes, Bavaria for German fare, Luna Rosa for what I think is the best Italian on the island or Cuginis for that matter, since it has reopened again.

There are so many incredible eating spots but these are my favorites within a ten minute drive or less of BSV, and if you're of a mind to go a little further afield, Antoine's and Chesterfields in P'berg along with Marks on the way in the parking lot area of Grand Marche is excellent.

And then, virtually anything in Grand Case and even farther afield on the French side but we find it not worth the drive these days when there are so many awesome choices closer at hand.

And if you're looking for awesome but higher end beach days, the Restaurant ar Anse Marcel, Friars Bay Beach Cafe and Dreams in Nettle Bay are all wonderful.

And my favorite island 'cheap eats' are still the grilled ribs at Rosies on Mullet Bay Beach!

And lastly, I think in 40 plus years and close to twice that many trips, I can only think of one 'bad meal' I've ever had on this island so I'm thinking wherever you go, you will probably be happy.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
