St Maarten Food and Drink

St Maarten's cuisine is as varied as its history, combining Creole, Dutch, English, French and, more recently, international influences. For many it is the culinary capital of the Caribbean with a wide choice of excellent restaurants where the chefs combine the island's proud tradition and local ingredients with European savoire faire to produce dishes and menus that rival the best not only in the region but further afield as well.

Cooking and eating on the island is a reflection of the sunny, relaxed and joyous atmosphere that permeates the place.
