St. Maarten Restaurants

If St. Martin/Maarten is known for anything, it's fine dining. The island's various cultural influences have developed such a selection of restaurants that both the French and Dutch sides welcome visitors each year who come especially for the chance to sample the unique combination of gastronomic experiences on offer in St. Maarten restaurants. Unlike its people, St. Maarten restaurants reflect little of the island's Dutch heritage, putting a strong emphasis on French and Italian tastes. There are several St. Maartens restaurants that serve Caribbean specialties, especially on the French side, but the island is more widely known for attracting top chefs whose expertise lay in contemporary and continental cuisine. Because of this culinary reputation and the fact that many fresh ingredients need to be imported, prices in St. Maarten restaurants tend to be a bit higher than average. As most people will tell you, however, St. Maarten restaurants are more than worth it. Here are a few favorite St. Maarten restaurants to try:
