Hey guys, so I have read that St. Martin is considered the culinary capital of the Caribbean. This is part of the reason we wanted to go as my SO loves to cook and eat just like me. My question is, we are just a couple of 20 something year olds and cant be spending $100 a meal. Breakfast will be simple as we love the French bakeries and will just pickup something there. But I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations on moderately priced restaurants that we should visit! We eat pretty much anything but SO is allergic to shell fish. Other seafood is fine. Looking for ideas on moderate, sit down, preferably close to the beach restaurants. Any beach works as we have a car. Thanks for any info you guys have!

The Spaghetti House SXM, in Jordan Village at Cupecoy and just down the block from Jules Bakery and across the street from Fat Tony’s is very good and extremely reasonable by island standards.

IMO, the best place for inexpensive, local eats is Yvettes. You can get a nice plate for $10 (they may have raised prices since I was last there) that includes some meat and 3-4 side dishes--johnny cakes, fries, salad, etc. Ok, we eat the $15 plates, and I load up on apps and Ti Punches ala Gabriel, but we have no control.
Also try Le Taitu as their French lunch selections can't be beat for some $14. Salad, Plate, and drink for that price.
Ital's on Bush road should not be missed. Vegetarian meals, no alcohol, but wonderfully flavored farm to table eats. Makes me happy after the excesses of normal island cuisine.
None of these are beach front but great tasting, local cuisine, and very inexpensive.

Taco Macho in the parking lot near Sunset Bar & Grill is a good and a bargain, picking up Ribs & Chicken as well as sides between the Atrium and Royal Palm would be a good cost saving idea. Simpson Bay Yacht Club is always fun and has good food, not too expensive. On Mullet Bay you have Rosie's ribs as Pat stated, one of the better bargain beaches although I would note that at Karakter, Marys Boon, and El Zafiro have free beach chairs if you eat there and that brings down the cost and they are on a great beach. My personal favorites would include Lal's (Indian Food with a Rock and Roll influence) which is near Dingy Dock, and at a bit more money The Palms which besides the good food which is a notch up in price the people there are fantastic.
Cheers!
I prefer the Isle seat
