Grand Case, French St Martin Photo Review

Grand Case, French St Martin Photo Review

Blog, Travel & Tourism0 comments

Grand Case, located on the French side of St. Martin is considered by many to be the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean.  There are a few places to stay but most prefer the Grand Case Beach Club which is a very reasonably priced condo resort within short walking distance to town.  Walking into and around town is very safe and there are usually private security guards stationed on the street leading to the GCBC.  There are about 40 restaurants in Grand Case and you can choose from a variety of options from inexpensive BBQ at the beachside Lolos to a multicourse meal at a fine French establishment.  Cuisines available in town include French, Italian, Creole, Spanish and American.  There are a few bars but overall, this isn’t a party town – my top pick is Calmos Cafe which is a laidback hangout that serves excellent food and hosts live music events a few times a week.

I first discovered Spanish food at a tapas bar in New York City and fell in love instantly, since then I had wanted to travel to Spain and experience the real thing.
