We returned from SXM on Wednesday and the two meals we had at Les Oliviers in Grand Case were a highlight of the visit this time. The restaurant is where Il Patio used to be and has recently opened. Food (described as Provençal cuisine), service and ambience were all very enjoyable, amazingly so for a new business. The couple running the place have an interesting tale to tell and are very hospitable.
Interested to hear other diners experiences.

PS the airport is still truly third world on the departures side (no a/c, no ventilation even, water fountain delivering hot water - really!) although it was great to see all the empty, unmanned EHAS booths gathering dust in arrivals.
