We noticed the sign when we drove by there a few times, wondered if it was something new. We will plan to give it a try next time!

Thanks for the note! I had not heard of it before. I don't know why, but it is pretty difficult to get good French food on the Dutch side. Anyone have a link to a menu?

They opened just recently, I think the owner said like 4 months ago. It is owned by a young French couple , the owner was our waiter yesterday. Their chief is 27 years old and we were told had worked at a pretty famous restaurants before. I tell you- he is definitely talented!! This place was on par with Tropicana!

Georgia--Sorry, no. I am tired of all these different groups, one for every day of the month, all of which are private groups, that you can't even READ. It's BS. There's no reason for it.

As I said, I'm not going to join every d*mn group on the internet. There's no reason to require registration to read.

I signed up for that a long time ago, before there were 528 different FB groups. That's the only one I ever signed up for.

Well if there is a group you shouldn't belong to I would say that is the one.
I prefer the Isle seat

I will not be signing up for any other FB groups.
And back to the original question--surely there is someplace online where this restaurant has their menu??

No, actually I can. A restaurant should have a website. How hard is that?

Thanks. Yes, I saw that, but not much of the menu there. Well maybe by June there will be a menu online somewhere.

Scuba--yes, maybe, but a lot of work and menus do change. Then if we created a separate forum for that, then discussions of whether the food was good are off topic? If people could remember to take a picture of the menu during their restaurant visits, and then just post as part of their trip report (hint, hint!!! ), the info would be up to date.

Jeepers--$49 or 49 Euros? Prices are in US dollars.

Scuba--Tropicana and Le Piment are on the French side so I assume without knowing that the prices that Jeepers posted there are in Euros.

You're quite welcome. I hope it is a benefit to many.
bdeeley! Thank you so much for posting up the menu 🙂 there is a nice variety of things, and pictures on Google are looking scrumptious! Inspired me to make my take on beef bourguignon for tomorrow's lunch, lol, just came out of the oven.

KGB--well, yes I am, with regard to a lot of things. But, with regard to the current topic, people want many things, so long as someone else has to do the work..

Georgia--I'm not sure your position on that, from this post. To ME, a restaurant should have a website. Period.

Frankly, I think that's a cost of doing business, to update your REAL website. However, it's been my experience that even most FB pages for restaurants don't have any menus. Or if they do, it's difficult to find them.

It's not really rocket science, just spend a couple of bucks for a real website, But especially if the business just does a FB page, it's pretty simple. With the competition in SXM in restaurants, why would someone not have a page of some nature?

It looks absolutely wonderful. You have nothing to apologize for, the appearance is no different than a thousand other kitchens as you are cooking. Besides, I'm always impressed by the quality and taste of the finished product much more so than the appearance of the plating. Thank you so much for sharing.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

I never said it that way at all. Just that restaurants need to have a webpage. Whatever. This one is done.
