If you enjoy French food eat here!! We made a reservation prior to our stay in St. Martin. It was the last night of our stay and best meal we had while here. The food was wonderful, we had escargot which was delicious. Our entrees were excellent as well, lamb and quail. Everything from beginning to end was perfection. The staff is wonderful and welcoming, very passionate about their food which I love. They made it a very memorable night for us. Thank you! Dinner here ended the perfect week of sun and crystal clear blue beaches. In 5 days we visited 9 beaches and 12 restaurants- this by far was our favorite. The food, presentation and service were 10/10. Karine, Carlos. And the gentleman that chased us down when we we forgot my phone were lovely and made us feel at home. The new owner Chantel has done a splendid job continuing the success of a restaurant that has been in place for 45 years. We had walked passed this restaurant a few times while Venturing into Grand Case throughout the week and noted it was always packed- we now know why. Everything was so fresh and well done. Can’t wait to come back next year. 5 stars. This was a great experience! The service was awesome, and we will definitely be back! Also make sure you make a reservation before arriving! We had the: French onion soup, asparagus soup special, escargot, foi gras ravioli, duck wellington, lamb special, crème brûlée, and the the desert special

Auberge Gourmande – A Hidden Gem of French Gastronomy in Saint Martin Tucked away in the heart of Grand Case, Auberge Gourmande is more than just a restaurant—it’s a sanctuary of French culinary excellence, where every dish is a love letter to tradition, flavor, and artistry. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were warmly welcomed by Chantal, whose gracious hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our waitress, Karyn, made the experience spectacular. Her deep knowledge of the menu, charisma, and effortless charm turned each course into a celebration of taste, passion, and storytelling. Chef Alex, the genius behind the stove and Chantal’s husband, crafts dishes that feel like they belong in a Paradise. We began with the Duck Foie Gras Raviolis, delicately nestled in a rich truffle sauce—a silken, decadent introduction to the meal. But the true showstopper may have been the French pie with lobster meat, chopped in white wine and layered on a bed of Florentine spinach, all crowned with a lobster cream sauce that melted on the tongue. It was pure indulgence, yet somehow still elegant. The Duck “Wellington” confit with foie gras and wild mushrooms, encased in golden pastry, was a masterpiece. Served with truffle and mushroom sauce and crushed potatoes, every element was cooked to perfection—flaky, savory, and deeply satisfying. To end, the mango and strawberry puff pastry was a dream. Light, crisp, and filled with vibrant fruit, it was served with homemade whipped cream and a housemade fruit sauce that brought brightness and balance to the dessert. Dining at Auberge Gourmande is more than just a meal—it’s a true gastronomic journey, lovingly curated by people who care deeply about the guest experience. With Karyn’s extraordinary service, Chantal’s warmth, and Chef Alex’s brilliance in the kitchen, this was one of the finest meals we’ve ever had—not just in Saint Martin, but anywhere
