You can definitely purchase anything you want to on island. It will be more than at home, but not substantially more. For that large a group, unless you check a large suitcase, I really don't think you should even consider trying to bring stuff from home, as it will be a drop in the bucket.
Regarding places to buy groceries on island, for a large group, you should consider Cost U Less, which does sell in bulk. Not necessarily for meat, but for soda, etc., etc. As far as grocery stores in general, as of June of this year, Super U in Marigot seemed to have the best prices for meats on sale and wine was available for just stupid cheap prices.
As far as restaurants, 22 is a really large party for ANY restaurant on island. No way you should consider going anywhere without a reservation, which I assume you already know. If you are looking for a place with a large variety of different foods--including upscale French-- for that large a group, I would recommend Dreams, in Nettle Bay. For someplace that serves a wide variety in a real casual setting, would recommend Pineapple Pete. I would also recommend that you check out Captain D's, which is right by Royal Palm, and get several orders of carry out, as they serve great BBQ for a cheap price.

Jac44Ny - We hosted a BBQ at the Divi for 20+ - lots of room for your party- down by the beach - live island show included - see Ray's photos of the party - =================== LINK =================== Of course you would save on the costs by doing it yourself without the live show - prices are not bad at all food shopping in the larger markets - Enjoy!

DICKG said: Just wear is the super U in Margot I have jused the super market near the new bridge near the Princes for a long time I though there prices were good Near the stadium just before leaving town going toward Grand Case end of island. It's in the Howell shopping center where Super Marche Match used to be.

Yes, Enold's is no longer and a new restaurant is in it's place. As far as cooking in, we do a few times per trip, and purchase all of our meat from Cost U Less. We go right to see the meat cutter, and get our steaks cut to our liking. Nice selection of veggies also. So, for a groupe of 22, that is what I would do.
Prices are very much similar to the U.S.

As Bobcat said, the Cost U Less is across from Mark's and Grand Marche. Yes, and Prime is behind the Harley dealer.

Marc--did you check out Super U when you were there??? They have really excellent prices, especially on meat on sale, and their meats are very good.

Yes, for sure, please do check it out. No reason to go all the way to P'burg from Club O any more.
