Home to the Caribbean’s finest dining and most exquisite restaurants, St. Maarten invites you to embark on a flavourful journey full of ethnic sounds, smells, and tastes. Join us for a unique culinary and cultural experience across both the French and Dutch sides of this vibrant island!
Your flavourful journey begins on the scenic Philipsburg Boardwalk, known for its charming shops, stunning harbour views, and relaxed beachside vibes. Enjoy a mouthwatering lunch at a local beachfront restaurant where you can choose between: Ribs with Peas & Rice/French Fries and Plantain, or Crab Cakes with Peas & Rice/French Fries and Plantain, all served with your choice of wine, beer, or soft drink. Let the rhythmic island beats and sea breeze enhance this authentic dining moment.
Next, explore Philipsburg, the capital of Dutch St. Maarten, and dive into the island’s Caribbean-European fusion architecture. Take a break from the sun and enjoy a true island treat, a refreshing fresh-cut coconut, prepared right in front of you. Sip it naturally for a burst of pure hydration packed with electrolytes, or elevate the experience with our signature coconut cocktail, a tropical twist you won’t forget! It’s more than a drink; it’s the taste of the Caribbean in its most authentic form, cool, fresh, and perfect for your holiday vibes.
Continue your cultural immersion in one of French St. Martin’s oldest towns with a visit to a beloved local treasure: Yvette’s Restaurant. This world-famous heritage gem offers authentic island cuisine in a cosy, rustic setting. Choose between: Conch & Johnny Cake Sampler, or Chicken Brochette & Johnny Cake, while taking in the charm of true Caribbean hospitality.
Cap off your culinary adventure at Toppers Rhum Distillery, a local favourite combining a rum tasting experience with sweet treats. Choose a refreshing gelato or a rum sampler shot crafted on-site.
