Bistrot Caraïbes

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here, even as a tropical storm came through Grand Case. Great good, friendly service, and good atmosphere. The Lobster Thermidor was excellent, as was everything else we tried. I hope we'll be able to dine here again in the future!

We found this restaurant for my wife’s birthday dinner and they delivered a great experience. We really enjoyed our food. We had the escargot and French onion soup which were both incredible. Our entrees were fantastic as well. Our group had four different entrees which included the scallops, duck, lamb, and snapper. We would recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner.

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!

Located on the French side of the island, this French restaurant came highly recommended and I really enjoyed it. My fettuccine with shrimp was very memorable. That shrimp was seasoned beautifully! If you’re a fan of lobster, this place is known for allowing you choose your own lobster. It’s great for date night, a celebration or if you just want to get out for a nice dinner. The service was also wonderful! Our server was attentive and welcoming!

Super busy restaurant. We attended as a group of 4 and each ordered different main courses. The filet steak was overcooked, as was the red snapper. The lobster thermidor was one of the best we have ever had.

We enjoyed the food here, especially the lobster. They really do it well. The seabass was amazing as well. The downsides were the noise level and the service. The acoustics in this place make it hard to hear your table. Also, the service was struggling a bit when we were there. They are definitely not trained to the levels of other top restaurants in Grand Case.

This evening we drove to the French side of the island to have dinner at a French restaurant Bistrot Caribes. We'd gone there last year and had an incredible experience. Impeccable service and food that was unbelievably excellent. Not so much this time. Service ranged from fair to good. Things like long spans of time between server visits even though there were plenty of staff and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. And nobody checking how our food was after it was served. And a server starting to take a wine glass that wasn't empty without asking if we were finished with it. The food was a mixed bag. The french soup a l'onion was average. It was kind of bland without much of the usual melted cheese around the bowl. One person in our group had a lamb shank special that was excellent. Another had scallops that weren't very good. Third person ate a filet mignon steak and it was great. My seafood boullabaise was somewhat lacking. It was a small portion, there were 2 shrimp and a couple clams, and the rest was fish. And it wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't great. For dessert each couple shared a creme brulee and those were pretty good.

Highly overrated. Service neglected our table of 3 all evening. Wife and I ordered lobster. They took her to pick hers and then didn't come back to our table for me to make my pick; had to chase down the lobster guy. Waiter never asked about the side for the dish, so we had to track down another waiter for that. Table of 6 next to us went to pick their lobsters about 5 min after us and made a show of it taking lots of pics. Somehow their food can't 10 min before ours. Our wine glasses sat empty, had to track down another waiter for another glad and we got no lol at the menu to pick a different wine. Lobster tasted like it sat under a heat lamp for a while before we got it. Side dishes came 5 min later. Child's chicken nuggets were forgotten. For €240 I wish I'd bought us a day on a catamaran instead.
