Thanks for the link. Interesting how many of the top prated establishments just happen to take out an ad in the edition.
Isn't L'Escargot currently closed? I noticed several places listed in the initial voting were closed or out of business at the time of voting.

Certainly that's true, that locals have different tastes than tourists, and you would think more locals vote than tourists, but I have no idea..

Thanks for posting this. Thought it was really interesting. Not sure if they hit the nail on the head every time (pizza = Domino's?), but I do agree with some of their selections. I didn't see anything for the 'best hamburger/cheeseburger on SXM'. Would have loved to have seen the choice here for that category. Page 20 has a "Best Burger" category.

Thanks ... missed that. Checking it out right now. Never had a burger at Topper's. Not really a fan of the place but may have to try the burger on my next visit. I have had a really decent burger at Mark's Place, along with about everything else I have had there being good.

I'm not a huge burger fan, but Todd says that the burger at The Palms is the best on the island. And if Todd says that, I believe him!

Wow! So many burger choices! The Palms for sure on our next visit (next month). As for Mark's Place, just about everything is good there and I'm surprised they didn't make this 'Best of St. Martin' list in any of the categories. Maybe we need to submit 'write-in' votes for them next year! Page 7. Mark's Place was 2nd in Best BBQ.
