Bistrot Caraïbes

October 17, 2025

We never miss a visit to Bistrot Caraibes when we visit St. Martin. It is by far one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean. The lobster thermidor is a must-try and every dish on the menu is top notch. What makes the place most special to us the the warmth and care we always feel from the staff. Nadia is so kind and so much fun. Thibault and Amaury have breathed such passion and enthusiasm into this gem of a restaurant; it’s a joy to visit. See you again…and hide the ginger rum. 😁

We had such a great dinner at Bistrot Caraïbes…everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The highlight of the meal would definitely have to be the Lobster Thermidor (signature of the house chosen) It was honestly out of this world, zero regrets. The lobster was so tender and buttery, the sauce was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. We also ordered the Veal Scallopini, The veal was thinly sliced, incredibly tender, and served with a creamy sauce with a hint of blue cheese and sautéed mushrooms underneath. For dessert, we shared the hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, truly the perfect ending to the meal. Every bite was just wow, to say both dishes were outstanding is an understatement. This place is a must visit absolutely worth it. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and an all-around fantastic experience.

We had such a great dinner for 4 here in April 2025. We sat for the second seating at 8pm on a Sunday night.. Reservations definitely required. The fish dishes and lobster were the best we had in our one week stay in the islands. Top shelf. The only dish we didnt love was the lobster bisque, which was more of a strong broth without any pieces of lobster. Service was attentive and perhaps a bit sassy. If you are looking for formal snooty waiters this isn't your place. We closed the place down and it felt like family - just great food in a very welcoming environment. Great food and great experience. Make sure to call a cab 30 minutes before your dinner ends. We didn't do this and almost got stuck. The restaurant is so nice one of the employees going our direction offered to give us a lift. Dinner for 4 with multiple courses, a big lobster and two bottles of wine was about $500. Definite do not miss if you are visiting the island!

We were excited to try this place as we heard the food was good and we thought the menu had variety to our liking. The food didn't disappoint, everything was good. We had smoked salmon, beef carpaccio, foie gras and French onion soup. We ordered the hot chocolate cake and creme brulee for dessert, they were both great. The service however felt lacking. No warmth, no pleasantries, just take the order and drop it off. Didn't ask how everything was, just not welcoming or engaging. We actually thought of going back even with the subpar service because the food was just that good, but we decided to try La Villa instead and that met all our needs and was truly a 5 star experience. If youve read a few reviews on Bistrot, you'll see others who mention the service, and if you prepare for it, and only care about the food being amazing, then definitely visit. Overall, we would return and hope good service ends up being a bonus if they continue to serve great tasting food.

5 Stars Bistrot Caraïbes is a charming French restaurant in Saint Martin with excellent service and a warm, welcoming vibe. We came for dinner without a reservation but were seated inside comfortably and treated to friendly, attentive service throughout. The French onion soup was a standout, and the entire meal was delicious. It was a truly enjoyable dining experience, and we’d be happy to come back again!
