Olivier & Sophie are a dynamic team, husband (chef) and wife (dining area greeter and server). They originally named the restaurant Spicy (menu and food was not spicy) after a favorite place they enjoyed in Europe. Their new name is more appropriate for this French gourmet restaurant. Both of them have become dear friends, the restaurant has a charming atmosphere... More

Read the reviews and place was recommended by someone at ou hotel lDidn't find anything positive about it. Food wasn't good, service was slow and not very attentive. There were a couple dogs walking around the place Wouldn't waste a meal here.

A large group of us went to L'Artisinal in Grande Case, St. Martin. We have been going to St. Martin for years and I always try to have the Sea Bass for one of my dinners. This Sea Base was the best I have ever had. It had a light creamy caper sauce and was served on garlic mashed potatoes.... More

We were greeted by Sophie, who along with her chef husband, are the owners. She was delightful and guided us through the best choices of the evening. The meal started with an amuse bouche of a shot of carrot, scallion and ginger soup. Nice palate cleanser. After that we each had escargot. Not too salty or garlicky. Quite nice. I... More

Owner is lovely. Food is decent French. Quiet. All tips are in cash, by the way. Right in the beginning of Grand Case.

In this quaint restaurant on the French side of St. Maartin, I had the pleasure of enjoying a superb night of dining. The meal was nothing short of amazing and the hostess was a gracious and pleasant individual. For an appetizer I had Beef Carpaccio with Duck Pate and an Arugula garnish. The beef was sliced paper thin and the... More

This place is amazing. Both because of the food but also the service. The owners treat you like long lost family members. The beef carpaccio is the best I've ever had. It's a quiet non-pretentious atmosphere and is great for couples or large groups. We've gone every year for the past 4 years and Ive never left anything other than... More

This restaurant is a real GEM in all respects! Every course, from the amuse-bouche to the homemade ice-cream dessert, was delicious. We have 2 children with picky palates. No problem, Olivier made them grilled salmon and fettucini just how they like it! Sophie is warm and welcoming and the restaurant is very comforable. It is beautifully decorated with an updated...

My wife and I went back to L'Artisanal a year after our last visit. It had changed names, and we were concerned that the food might have changed too. We needn't have worried, because the food was even better than before. Sophie and Olivier kicked it into high gear, and the food, ambience and wine list showed it. I looked... More

L'Artisanal is a "must" for any traveler to St. Martin. It is the most beautiful restaurant in Grand Case. The food is outstanding, and so is the service. We come to St. Martin twice a year, and L'Artisanal is the restaurant we visit on our first night, and then again on our last night. Don't walk by this place!
