Is This Place Still Around??
      #103285 - 07/13/07 11:21 AM

I have friends heading to SXM in a few weeks and I wanted to tell them to hit a little "joint" we used to frequent on our trips there. Since we haven't been back after discovering SBH, can anyone tell me if Le'Bar de'le' Mer (sp?) is still around? I believe it was in Marigot and sat on a corner right on the water??? Sound familiar??

It's De la Mer and the last time we were there it was still on the corner in the marina. That used to be our last lunch before going to the airport- pizza from the stand alone oven.

Andy - thanks! We loved that place...it was always full of locals and cheap beer. Lots of fun and decent pub food if I remember correctly. Late night was a hoot. Nice to know some things don't change. I'll give my friends the good news. When was the last time you were there??

Diane- I stand corrected- age related problems- it's called Brasserie de la Gare.

Hi Diane,

It's Le Bar de la Mer. It was next to L'Arawak and near La Vie en Rose along the strip facing the water near the outdoor market and ferries. We enjoyed it very much and made a point to visit at least once on each trip. Our last trip to St. Martin was in '04 or '05 and Le Bar de La Mer was gone.

Andy is refering to a place along the inner portion of the harbor (Marina Port La Royale). It is also quite good but doesn't have the atmosphere of Le Bar de la Mer. We enjoyed B de la M's grilled fish specials, always grilling right out there on the street and enticing passersby.

OK- I give up. The name was too close and I thought it was the place on the marina not the harbor- never been. Good nite. LOL

Nope- an understandable mistake.

Theresa - thanks for setting me (and Andy!) straight. I'm happy to learn the answer but unhappy that this great spot is no longer there. It was definitely a spot where locals and tourists mingled harmoniously. We always had a blast there and I do remember the food as being very good. Did anything open in Le Bar's place??
