18. Poulet d’ Orleans - Located in an old residence on the road from Orient at the point where the road dips and turns, we were greeted by Christian, one of the Romney kids as he came down to the parking field . Christian and his brother entertained us with a never-ending list of jokes. The house is filled with restaurant reviews, memories of things past, including a letter from a French official documenting the visit of the French President and George Bush Sr. to St. Martin and to this establishment back in 1989. I recommend you dine on the porch.
In addition there are may fine restaurants in Grand Case ( a small fishing village north of Marigot, with a mile long street filled with very expensive, mostly French. Some Italian and rib joints.
And finally, often overlooked are the fine hotel restaurants throughout the island offering excellent food at very reasonable prices. Many of these establishments are right on the beach with outstanding views, live entertainment and theme nights.
