The best restaurants South Caribbean

The kingdom of the burger made in Martinique is here, at BKB, the Bokay Burger franchise which offers local burgers such as the Otentik or the Bokay Bacon. But above all, it claims to use quality products with a Caribbean taste. As for the fries, they are made from sweet potato. As for the chicken, it is seasoned on the spot, every day and in each BKB branch. BKB currently has about ten branches in Martinique. In Le Diamant, Cap Taupinière only offers take-out.

This new restaurant boasts an attractive red-wood terrace overlooking the old Le Marin marina, reminiscent of a ship's cabin. Here, the sea is everywhere, right down to the menu. The menu features seafood platters (oysters, crab, langoustines, shrimps, periwinkles) and fresh fish (roasted skate wing, grilled catfish or lobster, fish returned from fishing a la plancha). For dessert, we warmly recommend the chocolate-peanut tart, just perfect! Attentive service.

In Sainte-Luce, La Brise du Sud is famous for its fabulous smoked chicken! In the kitchen, Chef Mika is busy concocting homemade dishes using fresh produce: lambi or tuna steak, entrecôte, all accompanied by dzon dzon rice or a gratin of the day (yellow bananas, christophines...). A dish of the day is offered daily. Special mention for the lambi couscous! In addition to the covered and ventilated indoor dining room, the pretty outdoor terrace offers a sublime view of the Caribbean Sea.

Feel like Al Capone for an evening? That's the idea behind this brand-new, highly original restaurant on the Quai de Sainte-Luce, decorated entirely on the theme of the Neapolitan mafia.

The welcome is just as warm, and the view of the Sainte-Luce boats is sublime.

At Anse Caffard, this "ti' resto" makes hearty, generous wood-fired artisan pizzas.

Add to this a charming, cosy setting with an open kitchen. A fine table to discover for two.

It's all in the title! The credo of this newcomer to Diamant: "kaza" cuisine, translated as "homemade"! And indeed, in this restaurant that mixes traditional bistronomic specialties with Creole flavors, great importance is attached to the choice of local, fresh produce, cooked on site. A wide choice of poke bowls, burgers and daily fish tartars. The desserts are just like the dishes: homemade and delicious! All served with a smile and good humor.

New at Pointe du Bout: opposite the Creole Village, Ice N'Coffee is a colorful snack bar where you can enjoy ice creams, crêpes (savory or sweet) and salads over a refreshing drink. Our favorites are the Bounty créole (chocolate ice cream, coconut and Bounty sorbet, hot chocolate, grated coconut, whipped cream) and the Triple choc (chocolate ice cream, white chocolate, Oréo, hot chocolate, toasted almonds, whipped cream). We also like the ultra-gourmet combination of waffle and ice cream, like the Nutsy or, for chocolate aficionados, the Choco-fever.

Change of owner for this emblematic restaurant in the village of Poterie. It unfurls its pretty terrace sheltered beneath a colorful wooden carbet in the heart of a green setting.

The menu will change regularly, highlighting fresh local produce and Creole spices. Reservations recommended.
