I love Jacala too--but you do have your share of wonderful French food in St. Martin. Mangos is on the beach with great seafood, both are open for lunch. Veya gets rave reviews and it is in what is referred to as a beautiful tree house---it can be nosiy but check out the menu it might interest you. Trattoria Tramonto stands alone on Shoal Bay West, and is a nice romantic setting. If you are on the east end--Hibernia is great.
