Le Taitu always is our favorite dining experience in St. Martin. The food is classic French and creole, the price is reasonable and the friendliness of the owner, Jean, just adds to the whole package. We have never been disappointed with our meals. You need to try this restaurant and it become one of yor favorites as well.

Five of us ate here on a slow, Thursday evening. It's a covered, pleasant outdoor setting, off the beaten path. The meal was very good. We had the combination of three appetizers, and each was a favorite of one or more of us. For the main course, we had five different dishes and liked all of them. Four different desserts... More

We had dinner there tonight. We read the reviews on Trip Advisor & they were absolutely correct. The food was wonderful, and reasonably priced. We appreciated that the menu was in English & dollars. A lovely evening.

We were first-timers to SXM and we stayed at the Radisson in Anse Marcel. We picked Le Taitu for dinner because of the good reviews on TA and we weren't interested in the heavy French cuisine being served all over Grand Case. We couldn’t have been happier with what we found at this quaint Cajun/Creole restaurant tucked into the Cul-de-Sac.... More

This restraurant provides great atmosphere, food and service. This is the true French side of St. Martin experience. The specials are French and Creole selections, priced right. The owner is a true gentleman who will provide you with great tips about the Island. Always a pleasure to eat here.

One of the issues when eating on the French side of St Martin is knowing exactly what it's going to cost when things are priced in Euros. Some restaurants offer 1$=1€ BUT many hike up the price so when you pay $$$ they get what they want in €€€. Le Taitu is a small straight forward restaurant on the way... More

The best thing about this little hidden gem is the terrific value. It serves consistently good food at par with more famous restaurants in Grand case but at a substantially lower price. The decor is beautiful and romantic. The service is prompt and courteous, although the lone server in the place refused to single out anything to recommend for us,... More

Seeing the views of this restaurant got our attention. I have absolutely nothing bad to say except we all agreed there was no “wow” when it came to the food. The decor is really cool with natural stone, burlap ceiling, and broken tile floors. The service was prompt and courteous-we didn’t want for anything. We didn’t spend a lot-I think... More
