Hi Louisa
When we were in St Martin in March we ate in Grand Case at Barranco, Piazza Pascal, Auberge Gourmande, Bistro Caraibes, La Villa and Le Cottage.
Spiga, Rainbow and Le Pressoir were open but we didn't eat there.
We had very good to excellent meals at all of the restaurants we ate at and would go to any of them again.
If I had to chose a single restaurant it would be Piazza Pascal or Le Cottage depending on your mood Although certainly Barranco, Auberge Gourmande, Bistro Caraibes and La Villa were very good depending on which you prefer.
Barranco is lovely and absolutely beautifully designed and right on the water. We had a very pleasant meal there, although we have seen some mixed reviews.
We have had bad experiences at Rainbow and will not eat there again.
Le Pressoir is under new ownership and is trying a new concept. We decided to pass until we see more reviews on it.
We stuck to the main part of Grand Case and did not get down to Spiga.
Although not in Grand Case we also ate at Le Piment in the Village and Astrolabe in Esmeralda, Great meals in both.
Take care and hope you and David have a great trip
Ted

Louise--Other people have described what is open. If you look at our trip report from June, we found that the restaurants in Orient Village outshone Grand Case for right now. There is almost nothing open on the water in Grand Case, other than Rainbow, Barranco and the lolos. Especially on Friday nights, when there is entertainment and vendors, Orient Village is the place to be! Ocean 82 is supposed to be opening soon, not sure about that though.

Our best meal last time was at Cote Plage, but Le Piment was also VERY good.

It used to be an Italian restaurant, Eric says name used to be Il Nettuno. I couldn't remember the name of it.

It was Il Nettuno and it’s right in the main drag, waterside.

Ted N Jan--Certainly, individual restaurants in GC are still great. But my point is that I think the OVERALL experience in Orient Village, right NOW, is much better, in terms of the overall experience of the area, and parking, in particular, which is very tough in Grand Case now, and there being almost no restaurants open on the water side in Grand Case. To me, it just feels kinda sad to be in GC when so much is still closed..

We ate 4 lunches there in two weeks and Christopher was pleased and asked us to spread the word that they were open. I had hoped lunch would continue.

I have not heard much about Piazza Pascal since it was sold. Donna and Pascal have moved to the USA now so things might be different. I thought their cook bought the place from them so there shouldn't be a big change.

bran--I honestly don't know that we will get to Grand Case this trip. We've been to Orient once and will be going back tomorrow in the morning. If we find out anything, will post here.

Back from a long trip in Europe, and cold, wet and windy in the UK, got most of our Hurricanes......Anyway, mainly for Carol. Think you are visiting soon and you were hoping to go to (mind gone completely blank)..oh yes Ocean 82. I think. Let me(us) know if it's open please, mind you, I doubt it, after what I saw last July/Aug but you never know as Pascal said it would be from Oct 1st. Work still being done on Ocean 82. Amaury said it should be open in a month or month and a half.
