TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Lunch at L'Escargot

Hubby and I headed into Philipsburg today for lunch at L'Escargot and to poke around. Since only two cruise ships were in port it was fairly quiet down on Front Street, and by the time we got to L'Escargot most of the lunch crowd had gone so we basically had the place to ourselves. It was such a delightful place to eat, very French and very quaint and charming. We chatted with the owner for a while and he did say that tourism was down this year. Since neither one of us eat a big lunch we tried to order something light; hubby ordered the "Catch of the Day", while I ordered escargot followed by quiche and salad. The food was delicious.

Escargot - they were hidden in the shells, the cherry tomatoes and pastry.

I loved the way the place is decorated; here are some pictures.
