Restaurante Chez Ginette Sxm — Restaurant in Saint Martin (France)

My wife and I came to Marigot for the sole purpose of stopping in La Casa del Habano for cuban cigars. As we walked up to the shop the steel gate was down and a for sale sign near the store. To say my heart dropped to the bottom of my feet would be an understatement. We walked away and saw Ginette outside of her restaurant and I asked her if La Casa del Habano was permanently closed. She said no and that she new Carole, the owner, and would call for me to see when Carole would return. She made several calls until she finally reached Carole. Ginette offered us to come in her restaurant and wait for Carole to reopen her store. During our cruise, I developed a nasty cough, no not covid, and Ginette offered me this concoction of spices in a drink she uses for coughs. Drank the secret mixture plus two glasses of wine and it worked! After our shopping spree in La Casa del Habano we returned to thank Ginette for all of her help and she gave me a bottle of her secret potion. Ginette is one of the kindest most authentic individuals I have ever met. She loves life and helping people. If you're in Marigot please stop in her restaurant. The world needs more people...

This was the first restaurant I went to in SXM, after seeing so many great reviews and here's the thing: after eating Ms Ginette's food you won't be happy with ANY other food on this island. 😆 It is SO flavorful, and the portion is just the right size. I had the coconut shrimp - this is a MUST TRY, and a delicious baked chicken on the next day. Herself and the staff are really lovely and the rum liquor she makes is 🔥🔥. I will miss...

My husband and I walked in and had the pleasure of meeting Chez Ginette in March 2019! We were on our honeymoon exploring and will never forget our lunch there that day. Her home cooking was the best creole we've ever had, and we loved the ambiance and getting to know Chez Ginnette. We look forward to returning when back...
