There's probably enough of a critical mass of SXM-o-philes on this board to do "best of" voting, like the various city magazines do annually. You'd probably have to break it down a lot more than just "best resturant", maybe by category, cuisine, etc. Could also do best shopping categories, best beach (like everyone doesn't know which would win THAT category !!!).<br><br>For me, well let's see - <br><br>Best "expensive" French resturant - L'Alabama<br><br>Best less expensive - Portofino (although someone posted that it recently changed hands)<br><br>Best cheap - Talk of the Town<br><br>Best beach bar - Kon Tiki, Pedros (tie)<br><br>Best bakery - Zee Best<br><br>I know, nothing original here, but hey, I like what I like!<br><br>

La California in Grand Case is a very nice restaruant. It is located next to the water, has a friendly staff, a small bar and serves an excellent shish ka bab. I haven't heard anyone mention it. Has anyone else been there?<br><br>

Lunch,Friar's Bay Beach Club had very ggod ribs and a decent tuna steak. Kangaroo Court in PBurg has a great little courtyard away from the madness of Front Street, and a wonderful Shrimp, avocado, and papaya salad.<br><br>Dinner, Bistro Caraibes #1<br> Rainbow #2<br> L'Alabama #3<br><br>For cheap, Talk of the town; and in Marigot, thought not really quite worth the price, the grilled shrimp at Bar de la Mer were great!<br><br>
