Fun family vacation with 9! Agree about Pizza Pasta, behind Cheri's. Maybe try Jimbos in a Simpson Bay? If you all go to Orient try Kakao. They have large palapas which would be fun. Excellent food to please all ages.

I very much agree with Kakao. We used to go there all the time, somehow hadn't been there for a long time, went there in June and really enjoyed it. Very much enjoy the individual tables under the palapas, as opposed to being up against a bunch of other people. Nice variety of food, from full on French dishes to great thin crust pizzas and great burgers!!

You might like to try Le Ti Coin Creole in Grand Case, the last restaurant on the main road before you get to GCBC. It is an undiscovered gem, a small, quiet restaurant, run by chef Carl Phillips, in his grandmothers old creole house. Don't let the word creole stand in your way, it's not spicy food, unless you want it that way. He can customize your meals as you like them.
If life hands you a lemon, just squeeze it on a lobster!

Another vote for Kakao. Also, The Palms in Simpson Bay, voted best local food for several years. Also in the Simpson Bay area, Byblos (Lebanese), and Avantika Thai. Both Byblos and Avantika would be great with a large group, as you can order family style and sample multiple dishes.

Ron said: We think the food and service are pretty unbeatable at Pineapple Pete's. Burgers are the best, love the Fish & Chips, wraps are good, and the pasta is great. I beg to differ on Pineapple Pete. The second worst burger I've had in St Maarten. Worst was Padro's. Service is fine but food is just OK. We only go when others in our travel group want to go. To many better places to go to for us.

Pineapple Pete is one of the few places on the island where you can take a large group and receive good service, plus they have a wide variety of different types of food, so everyone should be able to find something they like.

Hey Angie, got to say--you've been registered for several months, and your only posts are both about a pizza place that your family went to? Your family didn't go anywhere else or enjoy any other places??

I am among the few people on the planet, I guess, that thinks Pizza Galley stinks. Crust tastes like cardboard to me. Guess everyone has different tastes..

I have not been impressed with Izi either. Tried it again this June and it was pretty pedestrian.
