Looking for a place to eat dinner, at say 5 PM in Grand Case, on our arrival day from the US. The lolos I guess are open all day, but I wonder if their stuff will be dried up at that time. I know there is a small pizzeria there. I wonder what their hours are. This would be on a Wednesday, if that makes any difference. If there's not a good option in Grand Case, what about Orient? Not looking to spend a lot of money, just something filling after getting up in the middle of the night and the rigors of travel.

Food is always dried up at the lolo's by late afternoon. But they will happily microwave it for you.

bran--NO, definitely do not want to waste the money the first night on a great meal. We will be dead dog tired, from getting up in the middle of the night to catch the plane. Regardless, I know they don't open until at least 6, probably 6:30.
pandp--thanks for the suggestion.
Anyone know what time the pizza place opens in Grand Case? I'm thinking they may be open for lunch and stay open?

Go to the hotel next to the rainbow Les Temp De Cherise. They have small bar and restaurant with a great view. Any chance it is this place? LINK

Buddy--looks way expensive for what I'm looking for, for the first night. We are staying at a villa just above Grand Case, should be arriving, if the stars align correctly, around 3:30, if not before. Want to dump the bags and head out for an early inexpensive dinner and an early bedtime!! Yellow Sub would be good, but still wondering about the pizza place in Grand Case. No one here has been there??

I hate when I hear a microwave door slam at a restaurant.

BeachKitten I was thinking the same. Rancho del Sol. We've had their pizza in the past and it was really good. Plus they open for lunch so they should be open for an early dinner.

I don't know if Rancho delivers anymore, but we did have them deliver to GCBC some time back, in the event one wants to eat in.

I was thinking since I know they are open for lunch, they would still be open when you arrive.... That may be a quick and easy option. OR, have Jeannie deliver things to the villa and maybe some pre-made items? Sammiches?

Thanks everyone. We may try Rancho, but would probably go there if we do. The last time we went there, which was YEARS ago, I wasn't that impressed. We will probably go to Hope Market and get some things, so may just get something to take back to the 'house' to have. I figure we will be dead on our feet but we'll see. Regardless, we'll be in SXM so it can hardly be bad!!

You ask for a place in Grand Case, right? Why not stop in Marigot on your way. Near the ferry dock is a place called Rosemary's (near the walkway to the market sellers) whole meal of snapper, rice, salad for around $14. Very filling, tasty and inexpensive.
I mentioned La Villa because it isn't as expensive as the other places in GC. I would suggest NICE on the water side but I'm not sure when they open up. They're less $$ than other places. I don't think they would want to risk stopping with luggage in their car for a dinner. Carol stated she wanted to check in, drop luggage off before getting something to eat.

Elizabeth--we've never eaten there. It seems that one needs to know ahead of time if you want to eat there, as he seems not to be open on a regular schedule. Too many restaurants, not enough time!!

deputy--we will be well after you, so I look forward to hearing what you do! We will be getting up in the literal middle of the night to drive 2 hours to catch a 6:30 AM fight.. I am exhausted, just thinking about it..

OK. Still consider ourselves to be newbies since this is trip 2. Not too sure about Grand Case, never having been but I hope to get there sometime during the week. If we don't do it the first night we get there, we will let you know what we do, whether it be in the village or not. Our 1st trip in September was on Delta but we didn't have that long drive. The Sarasota (SRQ) airport is only about 20 minutes and Delta flies out of SRQ. This time we are going for the really good fare so we have to drive across the state You can fly direct from Sarasota to SXM on Delta?

We would have to throw our vote in for Yellow Sub. We ate there on our first evening on the island. Even though we had a good night's sleep the night before in Charlotte,travel does tend to wear you out a bit and we wanted something easy. Had a late lunch there and then crashed for the night. Their burgers with exotic cheeses are to die for!

Georgia--Don't forget, we live in Florida, so our travelling clothes are the same as what we wear in SXM! We may well end up just going to a smaller grocery store close to Grand Case and picking up a few items to take back to the villa. I love food shopping on vacation and would prefer to just pick up what I want. I find the price for Jeannie is not worth it to ME.

I think we are going to give up on Grand Case, unless we get carry out from the little pizza place or Le Bounty.. At this point, the plan is probably to try to get carry out from the little pizza place in Grand Case or get something for dinner from Hope Market, and take it back to the villa to eat.

I really do not even want something that heavy or elaborate. Certainly not worth trying to call in a favor for.

bran--that is what we have decided to do, just play it by ear. Everyone is different, but I NEVER want a big meal the first night. Usually just a burger or a pizza or whatever, but I do want something hot, not just a cold sandwich. Usually too tired to even think about anything elaborate or expensive.

My vote is to drop your bags, then walk up Boulevard De Grand Case and see what is open. We stayed there in February, and there was a tiny pizza place near the lolos - no inside seating, but he had a bar and bar stools, and made the pizza's to order. Prior to Irma, there was a pizza place on the main road, opposite where Rainbow is, with a wood fired oven that made a great Neapolitan style pizza, but it was closed when we were there, and the oven had been moved out, so I don't think that is open.
