La Cigale 2024 | Beach Restaurant
“Rewarded two toques by Gault & Millau in 2020, this is one of the finest French restaurants in St. Martin.”
La Cigale in Nettle Bay opened its doors in 1999 and has been famous for its quality ever since. It offers a unique, romantic fine dining experience overlooking the lagoon and with your feet in the sand.
Facing West, this is the perfect dining spot to catch the mesmerizing sunset. Enjoy a 60 min show in which the sky turns from blue to yellow, orange, and red to purple before turning black and full of sparkling stars.
At this elegant beach restaurant, experienced chef David Sandron offers a classic French dining experience with the highest possible quality products from France. Fresh local catches such as Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and Mahi Mahi complete the menu.
Start with their signature “Foie Gras Emulsion soup” made with seared duck liver and truffle oil, or have their homemade lobster and porcini mushroom ravioli served in a lobster bisque soup.
As the main course, you must try the wild fresh Seabass or whole Dover sole; the friendly staff will debone it for you at the table. Or check their “from the land” selection with supreme chicken breast stuffed with morel mushroom, Duck “Parmentier” with ceps mushrooms, roasted veal mignon, and premium Black Angus Tenderloin.
For dessert, we recommend the all-time favorite large homemade raspberry Macaron.
Pair these dishes with some of the finest wines from France; their sommelier is happy to advise you. Or indulge in a craft cocktail made by their mixologists, such as La Cigale’s signature cocktail made with hibiscus syrup, litchi liquor, champagne, and fresh litchi.
