Chez Leandra — Restaurant in Saint Martin (France)

Wow, simply wow. My girlfriend and I decided to visit this restaurant while at Orient Beach and we're ecstatic that we did. Firstly, the staff was super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. In terms of service, this place had the best service by a mile, compared to all other places we visited on the entire island, considering we ate out everyday, multiple times per day, for 8 days.

We luckily arrived in time to order the last lobster available that day. For half a grilled lobster, depending on size, it'll cost $25, $30, or $35. For a whole grilled lobster, it'll run you about $40, $45, or $50 depending again, on size. We got a whole grilled lobster for $40 and honestly that was filling enough for two people, as it also comes with a side of fries or rice and a small salad. The grilled lobster was spectacular. They also have this garlic sauce with herbs and spices that is one of the best things I've ever tasted, definitely ask for a side of this sauce.

We also ordered the red snapper sandwich which came on a hoagie bun. Also includes a side of rice or fries. It was pretty good, my only constructive criticism about the sandwich is to toast the bun a little longer, as it became a bit mushy.

Would absolutely come back, and if you're having a hard time figuring out which of the restaurants you'd prefer to visit on the beach, don't look any further than Chez Leandra. You...

You really can’t beat the view—this spot sits right on Orient Beach and, in my opinion, is one of the best beach restaurants around, thanks to the Caribbean flair of the food. Whether you’re craving a full entrée with sides, a wrap, a sandwich, or a fresh salad, they’ve got you covered.

The restaurant is run by a husband-and-wife team, and they do it right. Z is in the kitchen, Rochelle runs the front of house, and together they make the experience warm and welcoming. Everything I’ve eaten here has been absolutely delicious.

On this visit, I had the grilled red snapper, perfectly seasoned with Jamaican spices. It came with flavorful rice and peas, a creamy potato salad, a veggie medley with peas and corn, and a fresh green salad topped with a tangy vinaigrette. Z also makes his own hot sauce—spicy, but tolerable, and full of flavor.

My husband had the jerk chicken wrap, which he loved. Just a heads-up: it’s got a kick! So if you’re not a fan of heat, you might want to go with something milder.

And if you drink, don’t miss their rum punch—it’s a must.

Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent at a very reasonable rate for the day, making it an ideal...

Atmosphere is 5 stars because you are on Orient beach viewing the ocean with the breeze in in your hair thinking how good life is. Add great seafood and Caribbean dishes served with a smile and cocktails they have a winner.

Caribbean lobster with rice and peas, sweet plantains and salad. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood at chezleandrasxm .

The 1/2 grilled lobster was 💯moist and oh so delicious. Two Royal 👸🏻 Rhum punches with four different Rhums were colorful and a perfect pairing with our beach 🏝️ side dining .

Hubbie loves their jerk sandwiches , either chicken or pork and absolutely adore it.
