Café La Plantation - Saint Martin

Very romantic place. Great for a date. Amazing service. The food was good, but rather expensive.

We were visiting St Martin for a week around the holidays and dined at many of the best restaurants on the island and were so impressed with La Plantation we ate there two nights in a row! Terrific food, service and atmosphere. Our server Victor and his colleague Ivan were outstanding. Highly recommend the oysters, tuna, duck, tenderloin and any of the local fish.

Great service and very cute location. However, the food was beyond disappointing. I ordered their chocolate fondant and got a chocolate muffin… I also ordered their pulpo starter and got mashed potatoes with tiny slices of octopus. I had tried the other restaurant by the same owner the week prior, Maison Mere, and was so pleased by my experience. The food was phenomenal and the cocktails were nyc lounge-level good. I wouldn’t come to Cafe Plantation again for the food.

Second visit was even better than the first. Ivon’s wine choice was on point as was both mains. From start to finish this place has it all going on. Do yourself a favor and get there soon.

This was a spontaneous stop while exploring the area. For starters we enjoyed the guacamole which was made table side by Ivon, our very attentive and well-rounded server. Next we moved onto the mahi-mahi entrée which was cooked perfectly and a side of rice with a lovely butter and lime sauce over the top. For finishers we had their evening special of an upside down apple pie with ice cream on the top drizzled with caramel and a perfect finish. The place has a very Miami feel, super chill and a must try while visiting the area.
