The Daily Herald Best of St Maarten Awards
2/4/2013 - By St Martin Reservation Center
The Daily Herald Best of St Maarten awards were issued on Tuesday and while the voters are readers of the Dutch side English language newspaper and the voting is prone to ballot box stuffing, it does show something.
The best news I saw was that Elisa (left) at Bikini Beach, the ORIGINAL Bikini Beach, was voted the Best Beach Bar.
In the best high end restaurant category, Dino Jagtiani's Temptation and Rare finished at the top.
In the local food category The Palms near the RBC Bank in Simpson Bay finished first with Peg Leg Pub and Pineapple Pete finishing second and third.
Lal's got first place for Indian food, but his former chef, Loknath, at Shiv Shakti Restaurant took a well deserved second.
Pizza Galley won best pizza and best dessert, again. Best French cuisine went to Bon Apetite at Pelican (Simpson Bay, or possibly Hard Rock) Resort.
Old standby Tropicana came in second and L'Escargot Restaurant came in third.
St Martin has over 400 restaurants and we have had the pleasure of dining in may f the best over the years...when you make your reservation for St Martin / St Maarten hotel, condo or villa accommodations be sure to ask the island experts at St Martin Reservation Center 800 480 8555 for tips on the best restaurants.
