    Outstanding dining experience from beginning to end. The chef/owner is actively engaged in the operation of the restaurant, and it shows. The food, service and ambiance are legitimately 5 Star. It’s a little pricier than some in Orient Village, but excellent value for the experience. Highly recommended.

    The food is absolutely refined and delicious, a league above most places in the Village. Much choice. Staff is very friendly and the owner very enthusiastic explaining the food and advicing on the wine. The ambiance very nice. Prices are high end but worth it. There is a choice of wines by the glass which I welcome, although I wasn't super impressed by the Rose and Malbec. The Cote du Rhone my husband had was very good. All in all a wonderful evening out.

    Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the refined dishes, warm ambiance, and attentive service. Your feedback on the wine selection is appreciated, and we’re glad the Côte du Rhône stood out. Looking forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful evening! 🍷 Alexandre.

    Cindy and I had dinner at Atelier two years ago and it was good but the dinner we had last night was outstanding! The service was terrific and we loved chatting with the servers and learning about the food and where in France they came from. Our well traveled friends from SF, Dave and Petrita , loved the meal as well. We split a bruschetta for an appetizer and then each couple split the grandma slow roasted chuck over mashed potatoes with shallots. Yum! The creme brûlée was large enough for four people as was the signature ice cream dessert.

    Hi Gordon, Thank you for your wonderful message! I am so happy to hear that your experience at L'Atelier was outstanding this time around. I will definitely pass along your thanks to Margaux and the young man whose girlfriend is a hair stylist 😂😉. We're glad to know that they contributed to making your evening special with their charm and excellent service. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable dining experience! Best regards, Alexander

    Some of the best food we have eaten on the island in the fifteen years we have been coming to Saint Maarten. The mahi ceviche was the best I have ever had and their beef courses are to die for. Loved that the owner came to our table. Must make a reservation. We will definitely make L’Atelier a dinner stop every year now. Just wonderful!

    We had a wonderful meal at L’Atelier. Top quality all the way, friendly and efficient service, comfortable and quiet setting. The owner visits the table and makes recommendations - their signature deep fried poached egg was amazing and the tuna carpaccio was superb! I went with the french beef and loved it. My wife had the mahi-mahi - also amazing.

    Remarquable! Alexandre le proprio donne un service exceptionnel que vous preniez le plat le moins cher de la carte ou le boeuf Kobe. Les autres serveurs le suivent dans la même tendance. Aucune prétention contrairement à certains restaurants de Grand Case. Et c’est tout simplement délicieux, notre meilleur resto à St-Martin

Votre satisfaction est notre plus grande récompense, et je suis honoré que vous considériez notre établissement comme le meilleur à Saint-Martin. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau bientôt ! Merci vraiment Jean-François. Alexandre.

    Outstanding meal! So nice to find exceptional beef in the Caribbean! The owner explained the menu and we loved the old world French recipes from his grandmother! Loved the experience and thank you to the well trained staff.
