The food was incredible. I had the scallops with rigatoni. Great seafood-to-pasta ratio. Simple yet so flavorful. My husband had the rack of lamb and sweet potato soup. We are from the US but would love to come back some day. La Villa…what an experience! Our server JC kept everyone laughing with his well timed jokes. He made us feel like old friends who came over for dinner. We also had the absolute pleasure of meeting the owner Axel who shared his name with my nephew and his brother Christophe who made us feel like family. We immediately fell into easy conversation with both and Christophe even did a few magic tricks for our little Aksel. On to the food, dinner opened with a delicious, velvety, chilled cauliflower and potato soup. For appetizers we had the tuna tataki, the goat cheese egg roll and a Cesar salad (which was the BEST Cesar I’ve ever had) and the mushroom ravioli. For our mains we did the Branzino, Lobster and triggerfish special, duck breast, coconut crusted mahi mahi and angus filet. The gratin was creamy and garlicky and delicious! Everything we tasted was better than the last. Desserts were profiteroles with outrageous homemade hot dark chocolate sauce, pistachio crème brûlée and a mixed berry pavlova. We all tasted everyone’s desserts and were stuffed full after. Ended the night with delicious house shots. So glad we waited for our last night to have this dinner. From start to finish, hands down the BEST meal we had in Saint Martin. Wonderful owners, attentive and personable servers, great boozy drinks and warm inviting atmosphere! Will definitely be back here for another taste of La Villa!!!! Finally found a restaurant worth 5 stars across the board in Grand Case! Food was exceptional and not as pricey as other similar restaurants on the same strip. Service was truly superb. Everyone was attentive, pleasant and made you feel welcomed, can't say the same for another restaurant just down the street. The atmosphere had a casual but nice vibe, not stuffy but not common either, just right. We ordered the foie gras, lobster bisque, tuna tataki and beef striploin. Every dish was delicious. For dessert we shared the café liegeois. You must dine here. We only wished we had visited sooner as we came on our last night in SXM.

A Gastronomic Gem in the Heart of Grand Case La Villa Restaurant in Grand Case continues to shine as one of St. Martin's premier dining destinations. Our recent dinner there was nothing short of exceptional, reaffirming why this establishment is a must-visit for food enthusiasts. The evening star was undoubtedly the lobster - succulent, perfectly prepared, and flavorful. It's clear why La Villa is renowned for its seafood. The Angus beef was equally impressive and perfectly cooked, showcasing the kitchen's versatility in handling both surf and turf with equal finesse. Beyond the main courses, each dish we sampled demonstrated a masterful balance of flavors and textures, highlighting the chef's creativity and skill. The attention to detail in the presentation was also noteworthy, with each plate arriving as a work of art. The ambiance at La Villa strikes an ideal balance between elegance and comfort, making it suitable for special occasions and more casual fine dining experiences. The attentive and knowledgeable service enhanced the overall dining experience. For Magic of the Caribbean Card holders, there's the added benefit of a discount (be sure to present your card), making this exquisite dining experience even more appealing. Whether you're a local or a visitor to St. Martin, La Villa Restaurant in Grand Case should be at the top of your culinary itinerary. It's a testament to the island's reputation as a foodie paradise and a dining experience that lingers in memory long after the last bite.

This is a wonderful restaurant, but be sure to make a reservation in advance. The service is excellent, and the food is absolutely delicious. They also offer a kid-friendly menu featuring pasta and ice cream. We visited for dinner, and while part of the road was closed to traffic, making parking a bit tricky, we found a paid parking lot for $5. The best part? They provided a ticket that could be redeemed at the restaurant when settling the bill.
