A New Beachfront Bistro Is Coming to St Maarten

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 11, 2020 - 3:30 pm

One of St Maarten’s most popular places to stay is adding a new beachfront bistro.

The island’s Oyster Bay Beach Resort will soon begin construction on the new Veranda Market and Bistro, a spokesperson for the property told Caribbean Journal.

The new eatery, which is slated for completion in June, will be set at the former location of the resort’s Beau Beau’s restaurant.

The new market will include a broad selection of staples and gourmet items, from wines and spirits to specialty meats and fish.

The new bistro, which will feature expansive glass doors and windows with panoramic views of the sea (and to nearby St Barth), will feature lighter fare, with pizza, rotisserie chicken, sandwiches and salads.

Veranda will also include a deck and bar.
