LA CIGALE

The sexiest romantic restaurant in Saint-Martin (SXM)

The concept

Since 1998, La Cigale has been welcoming you in an exceptional setting.

It is on the edge of the lagoon, under the palm grove, with your feet in the sand, that you will be able to taste a cuisine that is both traditional and refined

A family affair...

Thanks to its family momentum, which has propelled it through two decades, La Cigale has become a real institution over the years and was recently awarded two toques by Gault & Millau Antilles Guyane 2020.

The company is still in the hands of Stéphane, its original founder since 1998.

Our idyllic setting is sure to amaze you during your next stay in St. Martin and you may run into Maria Carey, Richard Gere, Charlize Theron, Betsey Johnson…

Great French cuisine in a Caribbean setting

La Cigale far surpassed any expectations I had of fine french cuisine in the Caribbean. I had not had such an exceptional dining experience since I was Last in France. The food was creative, inspired and delicious, the chef's specialties were exquisite. The wine list was exceptional as well. The service staff was welcoming with a great knowledge of the culinary options. The setting was romantic and comforting whether dining on the beach or on the veranda. As a french trained chef, I highly recommend La Cigale.

Beautiful, delicious, impeccable

Very hard to find from the parking lot as the lot serves several buildings. Follow a path away from the main road toward the water and as you get behind the building the magic happens and you will see a beautiful patio restaurant on the water. The service was impeccable with knowledgeable, attentive staff. The food was exquisitely crafted. Sometimes French food is too rich for me, but several seafood options seemed lighter and I opted for the scallops with leeks and it was perfectly (small) sized and presented and deliciously prepared. Others had apricot chicken, lobster ravioli, veal saltimbocca and all were perfect. Pricey as expected but worth it if you are a foodie who likes a beautiful beachside dining experience with waiters who know their art.

A wonderful experience that we found by accident

We found the restaurant by accident. We were walking along the road and saw the sign. It’s not easy to find but well worth looking for it! Obviously we didn’t have any reservations but they were able to seat us right away. The location is beautiful, right in the water. And the food - OMG - wonderful. We had the daily specials and were in heaven!! The lobster ravioli in the lobster bisque- wow. Everything was prefect and it was a wonderful 1st night for us in St Martin. However if you are on a budget, save up so you can go. It is definitely worth it.

Habitant à St Barth, nous sommes venus sur St Martin pour le week-end, nous avons découvert ce restaurant par hazard, quelle belle découverte. Le restaurant est situé au bord du lagon, pieds dans le sable, une jolie atmosphère. L'expérience culinaire était au rendez-vous des entrées jusqu'aux desserts, le tout servis par une équipe chaleureuse, serviable et très l'écoute. N'hésitez pas, réservez dès maintenant. Un régal assuré !

Un service irréprochable, le personnel est très agréable et sympathique. La cuisine est divine et raffinée avec des produits de qualités. Le cadre est idyllique, lumière tamisée,ambiance intimiste , au bord du lagon . Une magnifique soirée. Et une délicate attention au moment de partir, se voir offrir une rose le lendemain de la st Valentin. Bravo à toute l'équipe étoile méritée. À très bientôt
