Philipsburg, St. Maarten – St. Maarten Flavors is thrilled to announce the participation of three renowned restaurants in this year’s November event: Ital Shack, Ocean Lounge, and Rendez Vous. With their unique offerings, these restaurants promise to deliver exceptional culinary experiences that reflect the island’s rich and diverse flavors.
Located at the prestigious Holland House Hotel on the bustling Boardwalk in Philipsburg, Ocean Lounge is serving a luxurious 3-course menu for just $69. Known for its elegant dining atmosphere in St. Maarten’s capital, Ocean Lounge brings a fusion of local and European flavors to the table, promising an unforgettable dining experience. Guests can enjoy this elevated culinary experience while basking in stunning views of the Caribbean Sea, making it the perfect spot for both visitors and locals.
Ocean Lounge has long been known for its exceptional seafood, prime cuts of meat and dedication to fresh ingredients, thanks to the visionary team of chefs behind the scenes. This year’s participation in St. Maarten Flavors further cements its place as one of the island’s must-visit dining destinations.
Set in the scenic Porto Cupecoy, Rendez Vous is offering a 3-course menu at $49, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians. The restaurant is celebrated for its variety, creativity, and commitment to quality. For St. Maarten Flavors, the menu includes standout dishes such as a tuna tartar appetizer, a lemony chicken piccata as the main course, and an indulgent chocolate lava cake for dessert.
For those seeking plant-based delights, Rendez Vous offers a veggie option featuring mahi-mahi with lemon and pesto, a refreshing cranberry salad, and a Belgian waffle topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Rendez Vous continues to attract food lovers with its welcoming atmosphere, with live music on most evenings and a jazz jam on Sundays, where every meal is a testament to their passion for culinary excellence.
Tucked away in the heart of St. Maarten, Ital Shack is a haven for vegetarians and vegans. Specializing in plant-based Caribbean cuisine, Ital Shack offers a one-course meal packed with flavors: seasoned brown rice, vegan curry chicken, fried plantains, avocado salad, and a fresh green salad.
Ital Shack’s roots in St. Maarten run deep, having gained a loyal following thanks to its commitment to healthy, flavorful, and sustainable dining, with a farm to table concept. Owner Roland Joe, also known as Bushman, grows most of the products that are used in his restaurant in a green house and uses the hillside to grow spices, fruit trees and herbs. Bushman has created a space where both locals and tourists can enjoy hearty, wholesome meals, so good, even the famous travelling chef Anthony Bourdain raved about it. Ital Shack’s participation in St. Maarten Flavors highlights the increasing demand for vegan and vegetarian options on the island.
