Délices de la Mer — Restaurant in Le Marin

Délices de la Mer is a delightful bar and restaurant located on the eastern end of Plage des Salines, offering excellent food and stunning views. I visited just before noon on New Year’s Day, and although the restaurant was about to get very busy, with most tables already reserved, the staff graciously found us a table with a beautiful sea view.

The food was a highlight of the visit. I ordered the chicken Colombo (Colombo de poulet) and was thoroughly impressed. This was my first time trying this traditional dish from the French Antilles, and the combination of tender chicken and rich curry flavors made it memorable. We also tried the chicken, fries, and salad (poulet, frites et crudités), which was enjoyable, though the chicken Colombo was the star of the meal.

The restaurant’s location is hard to beat, with a picturesque view of the entire beach and a handful of sailboats gently anchored offshore. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy a meal while soaking in the natural beauty of Plage des Salines.

If you’re visiting the area, I highly recommend stopping by Délices de la Mer. Come early or make a reservation, especially during peak times, to secure a table with a view. The food, atmosphere, and hospitality make it a fantastic choice for a seaside...

My wife and I ate here on a whim during a visit to Anse des Salines during our honeymoon. It is conveniently located pretty conspicuously at the end of the beach. We both felt like it was the best meal we had, and we ate at a few highly recommended restaurants. The key was the fish. Salty fresh fish cooked on a grill with a nice sear. We also got the lobster avocado, which was good, and we ordered a very simple salad of greens, carrots, and cucumber, which was not on the menu, and they were accommodating.

Our server did not speak English, but if you are an English speaker in Martinique, you probably already understand that finding a restaurant where English is spoken by the staff can be hit or miss. We were the first customers of the day at lunch time and it seems like it was starting to fill in, and I did only see one person working, so it's possible that service drops off a little when they get busy, but for me and my wife, we definitely...

Cadre magnifique, excellent accueil. Et c'est tout, dommage... Les plats proposés sont ordinaires pour ne pas dire d'une navrante médiocrité. Aucune originalité, on retrouve à la carte les mêmes spécialités servies partout sur l'île, c'est-à-dire des acras insipides et des boudins fades, aucun effort n'est fourni pour améliorer un peu ce qui s'apparente à un simple rata. Que dire du crabe farci ? Il s'agit d'une sorte de pâte liquide servie dans une coquille en plastique, et sans aucun goût de crabe. Le riz a sans doute été préparé l'avant-veille. Un peu de carotte et de courge râpées complètent cette piteuse assiette facturée 22 euros ! Quant au vin servi en pichet, il s'agit de la plus infâme piquette qui soit trouvée au supermarché low cost de la ville voisine. Ajoutons à cela une erreur non négligeable sur la note, en faveur de l'établissement évidemment. Les remarques ne sont non seulement pas suivie d'excuses, mais au contraire, la patronne prend la clientèle de haut. Elle ne cherche pas à fidéliser des gens qu'elle juge de passage, donc se montre désagréable. Erreur, nous serions revenus plusieurs fois si le restaurant avait été...
