I just checked their website to see if they had any updated information regarding their move but the site has not been updated. It still mentions Didier. Don't know if this is the same 'Mario' you're thinking. Here is the information from their website. http://www.mariosbistro.com/"Mario trained in Québec City and became one of the youngest chefs to take a gourmet kitchen in his hands at Le Marie Clarisse. He then came to St Martin to be successively the chef at Chez Martine, Le Fish Pot and Rainbow, all of them located in Grand Case. The project of Mario's Bistro came right after. There, he adapted a concept of cuisine that suits the Caribbean and its cosmopolitan clientèle." Ravi, thanks for the updates. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thanks.gif" alt="" />

I'm thinking that spelling is just an error, as one would not think that they would change the name of the restaurant, after all these years?

Maybe. Now that I look more closely at the sign, it says "Mario Bistrot", without an apostrophe or an "s" after Mario.
I stopped in just now to ask the workers when they expect the restaurant to open, and they said "maybe tomorrow". So it'll be any day now!

OK, that's interesting. OK, stupid question here, it really IS the original owner moving, right? I know how some businesses in SXM tend to name businesses after other businesses. I wonder why the restaurant website has not been updated, if they are opening soon?

I was talking more specifically about the wording of the sign, which I found odd. Ravi had previously reported that the following had been in minutes of a board meeting from Porto Cupecoy
" Brasserie New York will become Shanghai Brasserie opening around October 1st. It will be operated by Jimmy Goldman, Owner of Bamboo Bernies and Sky Beach in Maho, and managed by Elisa Cohen, former Owner of Bikini Beach in Orient Beach. The theme will be a fusion of Asian, including Thai and Mongolian Grill, and French in a brasserie atmosphere. Mario’s Bistro, famous in Sandy Ground for over 25 years, has moved to Porto Cupecoy and will open about the same time...
So, according to that communication, Mario's was scheduled to open around October 1 or so. Possibly the sign is just spelled wrong.

RonDon said: Has anyone been in contact with Mario's? Is it open now in old location? Has anyone been or will anyone go there to find out if it's really re locating? Was thinking the same thing!!

On August 10 on Trip Advisor, someone posted a 5-star review of Mario's Bistro, saying that it will be moving to Cupecoy marina in late 2015. So that's a little more evidence that we are talking about the same restaurant. Mario's Bistro Trip Advisor

I guess we're both being silly geese, Sharon, because you should know me by now, too, and that I'm very definitely the early bird even if I have no taste for the proverbial worm.
We're on 787 - the early flight. I guess we won't share a drink and a smile at 35000 feet. But we'll see you sooner or later, I'm sure. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
