Restaurant of the Year – Le Soleil, St Martin
You take a bite and you stop for a moment. And you think about what you just tasted and ponder how many times you’ll think about this meal again. Le Soleil is everything a restaurant should be — not just for the view of Grand Case Beach or the angle of the light at sunset, but for its truly exquisite Franco-Caribbean food and warm, welcoming service. This is a simple restaurant, unpretentious. But it’s also the best meal we had anywhere in the Caribbean all year.
