Craving a long lunch with your toes in the sand, turquoise water in front of you and the catch of the day on your plate? On Grand Case Beach in St. Martin, Le Temps des Cerises serves French cuisine with Caribbean accents, from breakfast all the way to sunset cocktails.
A table set on the sand of Grand Case
Grand Case is often called the culinary capital of St. Martin. At 158 Boulevard de Grand Case, Le Temps des Cerises has picked the best spot to enjoy it: right on the beach. Tables sit in the sand, between a tropical garden, natural materials and umbrellas facing the bay. The mood is boho-chic, elegant but never stuffy. Come in a sarong or in white linen, both feel right.
The catch of the day sets the tone
Here, the menu follows what comes in from the sea. Fish and seafood, tartares, ceviches and lobster make up most of the plates, alongside salads and meats. On Instagram, the chef even poses on the beach holding two freshly caught fish, a picture that sums up the spirit of the house. The cooking blends French tradition with local influences, in colorful, fresh and generous plates, often made for sharing.
From breakfast to sunset
The day starts early, with breakfast by the water and pastries served a few steps from the waves. Lunch then stretches out between two swims. In the late afternoon, the bar takes over: classic cocktails, signature creations, espresso martinis and tapas, as the light softens over Creole Rock and Anguilla. On some days, a DJ sets the soundtrack for the afternoon.
Who is it for, and for which occasions?
Le Temps des Cerises appeals to couples looking for a romantic lunch, friends who want to make the beach day last, and travelers searching for a chic yet relaxed address in Grand Case. It is also an intimate eight-room boutique hotel, ideal if you want to sleep just steps from your table. For New Year’s Eve 2026, the house has announced a night with a DJ set, live percussion and saxophone.
