Newly opened Kiwi Café took over the spot across from Palapa Marina in Simpson Bay. Joanna and husband Brian hope to follow in the footsteps of "The Stone":http://www.dinesxm.com/restaurants/the-stone which used to occupy this location before it became hugely successful and moved to the Pelican Marina Residences.
The menu is brimful of quirky twists to all-time favorites. Caribbean-styled dishes include grilled pork tenderloin medallions, with Creole spices, a citrus rum sauce, and served with cinnamon mashed potatoes plus a black bean and corn salsa. We counted a total of four different ways to prepare chicken: Chimichurry style, pan-seared with goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes, grilled with a citrus butter sauce, and a lightly dusted spicy variation that is tossed with orange peel and chili peppers.
In our opinion, Chef Brian will have to adapt quickly from preparing delicious meals for family and friends to the quick paced delivery and spotless presentation that his patrons will demand. Thankfully, the owners have recently found assistance from someone who is young, energetic and an experienced host: the ever cheerful Shonette is now welcoming the restaurant's guests and overseeing the front of the house.

Tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac that lies alongside Sint Maarten's international airport, Karakter is a hidden gem on Simpson Bay beach. Local "in the know" residents were quick to discover Jorrit's old American school bus that is parked on the beach and now doubles as the establishment's main bar.
Karakter is a unique place that livens up an otherwise sleepy beach. Its menu is funky and innovative, featuring healthy wraps, tapas, and typical Dutch snacks. The juices are freshly squeezed, and the sun nearly always shining at this little magical beach bar.
On Fridays, Karakter stays open after sunset and is usually hosting live music events with local Jazz artists. Either by day or by night, it has become one of DineSXM's favorite spots to lounge, relax and enjoy our beautiful island.

Famed restaurateur Enzo La Rosa is back on St. Maarten, and is brought us a culinary present from his native Sicily. Opened just this past December, his Ristorante Granduca is styled after its namesake in Taormina.
Long time visitors of Sint Maarten will of course remember Enzo's delicious Italian dishes from La Rosa Too. Now, 10 years later, Granduca (the Great Duke) is its stylish successor - and promising to become another hit.
Barely a month after the restaurant's initial opening, the rave reviews are already pouring in. Here are some excerpts: *"I had a veal dish and my husband the clams and linguine... hats off to Enzo. Great meal, staff was very friendly and attentive."* - TTOL Board, *"I had the homemade ravioli filled with pumpkin and shrimps in a butter and sage sauce and it was delicious!"* - Barbara's blog, *"The restaurant itself is beautiful, the menu is interesting, the service is great, the food is fantastic - using all the finest ingredients." - GoBeach
