40 St. Maarten / St. Martin restaurants and bars are now taking part in the November culinary month program of St. Maarten Flavors. This was announced today by the organizing committee.
St. Maarten is known for offering an exquisite variety of culinary delights island wide and is often referred to as the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean”. During the month of November, participating St. Maarten Flavors restaurants will design a special prix fixe menu of either 3 courses for $49 or one course for $17.50, highlighting their specialties. With an accessible price point set for “St. Maarten Flavors” the organizers want to ensure that everyone has the ability to participate and try places one might not otherwise get to experience, or would have thought of going to, thus involving our local diners as well as our visiting ones.
