Dining on St. Martin This island is a haven for inter- national restauranteurs, and is home to several world renown chefs. Expect higher prices than you may be used to, but the dining oppor- tunities are varied and first class. You should try these specialties: • French cuisine on the French side • Dutch and Italian dining on the Dutch side • Fresh seafood is a good idea • French and Creole cuisine • Indonesian cuisine • Dining in the fine European tradition • Make reservations early for evening meals as restaurants get very busy and dining is at a relaxed pace
