Ô Plongeoir

St-Martin & Sint Maarten


Settle into a pillowed bench at this languid place opposite the marina with the silhouette of Anguilla barely rising in the distance. Flank steak roll stuffed with goat cheese is the signature dish, but other dishes like shrimp flambéed in pastis, tuna tartare and Creole-style mahimahi are just as tasty.

Also a good spot to ring in the evening with cocktails and tapas.
