We always make a stop at Piazza Pascal. Food is good. Service is good. Sitting upstairs is somewhat unique although I always feel sorry for the wait staff having to climb the stairs all night.
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.

Ambiance, food and service..... Ocean 82 all the way. Love dining on the ocean side. Food and service.... Piazza Pascal and Le Cottage both excellent without the view. The staff is friendlier at these two restaurants as well.

GaKaye said: Carole was more than a server, she was the heart and soul of L'Estaminet. We have not been back since she left, and the restaurant closed this past summer. We enjoy visiting Carole at her grocery store in Oyster Pond, L'Epicerie Gourmande. Do you mean closed for good or just for the summer?

We hadn't been to Le Tastevin in years, but we had a wonderful meal there last month. We will definitely return.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Tastevin was purchased by the restaurant owner's group that includes Thibault and Amaury from Bistrot Cariabes, around the end of last year, and they have installed a new chef, so those who haven't tried them for a while might be pleasantly surprised, as you were.

I agree price should have been added. The reason I didn't is because this is a recommendation for my mother's friend who has a ridiculous amount of money. The post was necessary because we have stopped dining in Grand Case because of how pricey the restaurants have become. We first traveled to SXM 15 years ago before the Euro. In the old days we would have an amazing dinner at the high end restaurants for $35-50. The last time we ate at Tastevin 5 year ago our bill for 4 was over $300. Today we enjoy sunset at Calmos and then dinner at the Lola's

This restaurant took over the location vacated by Le Shore a few years ago. It is a lovely spot hidden from view in Grand Case and right on the water. Glad you enjoyed your evening there.

After more than 20 trips to SXM we finally tried Le Pressoir...It was outstanding !!! Food, decor and ambiance, service, all were fabulous. I would put them in the line of Le Cottage and the late Estaminet for the creativity and the quality of the products they use.The service is attentive and very classy.It's not cheap but it's worth every penny. Definitely a place we'll return !

It is a very nice restaurant and at one time was promoted as the most romantic restaurant in St. Martin! We haven't dined there lately but the reviews are still very good.

Actually, never been there ourselves, but it is in Cul de Sac, not Grand Case.
