ST. Martin – ST. Marteen – Fine Dining
“This restaurant in a carefully restored West Indian house painted in brilliant reds and blues has charm to spare. The name comes from the historic salt press that sits opposite the restaurant, but the thrill comes from the culinary creations of chef Franc Mear and the hospitality of his beautiful wife, Melanie. If you are indecisive, or just plain smart, try any (or all) of the degustations (tastings) of four soups, four foie gras preparations, or four fruit desserts—all sophisticated preparations with adorable presentations. Foie gras is served in a dollhouse-size terrine with a teensy glass of Sauternes” – Fodors.com

“On the edge of Baie Nettlé, this restaurant has wonderful views of the lagoon from its dining room and open-air patio, but the charm comes from the devoted attention of adorable owner Olivier, helped by his mother and brother and various cousins, too. The delicious food is edible sculpture: ravioli of lobster with wild mushrooms and foie gras are poached in an intense lobster bisque, and house-smoked gravlax and salmon is garnished with a garlic cream sauce. For dessert, the house-made ginger ice cream with flambéed pineapple is a favorite. New in 2016 is a sister restaurant, So French, in the Pelican Bay area.”- Fodors.com

“A stylish, upscale St. Barth vibe and beachfront location make this a great choice. Relax on the terrace for cocktails and snacks, or park yourself on a lounge chair on the beach with an umbrella for the day and enjoy the service, music, and ambience. The refined food is fresh and nicely presented; the snapper and beef and fish tartares are standouts, but real credit is due to the management and staff, who are friendly and attentive.” – Fodors.com
