If you clients think St. Maarten is just about beautiful beaches, here's one of the island's best-kept secrets...the Dutch side is a culinary playground where every meal becomes part of the vacation.
From waterfront breakfasts to unforgettable dinners, Dutch St. Maarten serves up flavors from around the globe through a collection of over 365 restaurants...that's right. Here's what's happening:
Grand Case may get the spotlight, but Philipsburg and Simpson Bay shine too- The Dutch side is packed with waterfront bistros, vibrant beach bars, elegant fine dining, and hidden local gems serving everything from fresh seafood and Caribbean barbecue to Italian, French, Asian fusion, and authentic Dutch specialties.
Fresh-off-the-boat seafood is everywhere. Think grilled lobster, mahi-mahi, snapper, conch, and shrimp paired with ocean views and tropical cocktails.
Local flavors worth discovering include hearty johnny cakes, savory saltfish, flavorful stews, and island-style barbecue served at casual roadside spots where locals gather.
Sunset happy hours are practically a way of life. Simpson Bay is famous for lively waterfront bars where guests can sip handcrafted cocktails while yachts drift by and the sun melts into the Caribbean Sea.
Coffee, pastries, and sweet treats make mornings just as memorable. Charming cafés, artisan bakeries, and gelato shops are perfect stops between beach hopping and shopping.
Nightlife meets nightlife dining. After dinner, guests can enjoy live music, casino lounges, rooftop bars, and beach parties—all within minutes of many resorts.
Recipes and food stories to chat about are the best souvenirs in the world.
