  • 1. Le Petibonum

    $$

    This marriage of French island funkiness and South Beach gloss is one-of-a-kind in Martinique. So is charismatic owner Guy Ferdinand, who has made this a destination restaurant in the north coast's tiny town of Carbet. Smack on the beach, it's an ideal stopover if you're visiting nearby St-Pierre. So remember to wear your swimsuit, kick off your shoes, and order the signature rum drink made with hibiscus and mint from the rum bar. You can lounge on one of the 60 coral rubber chaises, shaded by umbrellas, and be sprayed intermittently with a gentle, cool mist. The appetizers—blue marlin tartare or fried flying fish right from the Carbet shore—are delicious, as are main courses of fresh fish. There are lobster nights, and on Friday there are classical musicians. It's a mellow scene.

  • 2. Le Plein Soleil Restaurant

    $$$$

    Perennially popular with the chic set, Le Plein Soleil's restaurant has a smashing contemporary, Creole look, but it's the inventive, beautifully executed menu that cements its well-deserved reputation. It continues to draw applause for the use of the latest techniques from France coupled with remarkable twists on local products. Take a long and leisurely lunch on the terrace, which has a hilltop sea view; by night the mood is romantic, the service fine, the music heady. An amuse bouche will arrive. A velouté can be the canvas for a ravioli made of foie gras or pineapple. For the evening's three-course prix-fixe dinner, you'll always have a choice of main courses, with at least one fresh, local fish. Roast pork with sweet potatoes and grilled vegetables with sesame oil is a good choice. Desserts are equally memorable.

  • 3. Zanzibar

    $$

    One of the best restaurants in Le Marin, this upscale open-air restaurant uses local ingredients from the nearby market and fisheries to create tantalizing Creole dishes. Dine on the terrace with a glass of wine in hand for a memorable view of sailboats floating on the sea. Dishes include grilled fish, ceviche, duck, risotto, and there's a selection of desserts worth the calories, too.

  • 4. Batelière Beach Club (BBC)

    $$$

    At this thatch-roof beach bar, on any given day DJs might be spinning local and international sounds. The bar puts out strong (and pricey) tropical cocktails, though the food is less expensive than at the hotel's restaurant. Just plan not to be in a hurry, especially on the weekends. It attracts a mainly young crowd, and now, predominantly, a local one as well as guests from L'Hôtel La Batelière. With free parking and tight security because of the casino, it is a safe haven for tourists and one big party place.

    • Live music or DJ

  • 5. Coup d’Coeur

    $

    If perusing the Poterie Village, look no farther for a lunch spot or a tea break. This patisserie–salon de thé is on the right, as you first enter the village. In fact, you might make this your daytime go-to restaurant if you are staying in Trois Îlets. When you open the front door, the aromas of fresh baked goods will have you pressing your finger against the glass display case, euros clutched in your left hand, just like a little kid. Lunch can be a quiche (many varieties), pizza, or creative sandwich, and if you clean your plate then you can be rewarded with a Viennoiserie. Only French butter is used and all products are made in an artisanal manner. There's table seating but no waiter service.

  • 6. La Baraqu' Obama

    $$$

    If you're looking for a seafront restaurant that specializes in conch and lobster, Obama’s is recommended. During lunchtime the alfresco terrace fills up mainly with French tourists supping on grilled lobster with either saltfish or black pudding or veggies, and a dessert. Aromas are drool-worthy with hints of lemon and melted butter. Main courses come with frites or rice, and some vegetables and greenery dressed with vinaigrette. There's plenty of Red Desperado (a local beer) and French rosé to wash it all down. The kitchen is across the street, as is the ice cream shop (with excellent tropical fruit flavors) and the Special Bar. Owner Patrick Henry put it together for his son who rocks it on weekends, with salsa on Friday nights. A 4-foot poster of Obama is the major work of art.

  • 8. Le Grand Trianon Boulangerie

    $

    If you need a fast French lunch break in Le François, try this bakery in town, near the Carrefour Supermarket. Crisp baguettes and luscious pastries and ice cream are sold, as are prix-fixe lunches with sandwiches or salads. French ladies love to "do lunch" here.

  • 10. Restaurant Le Golf

    $$$

    You may not expect a golf course to house a great restaurant, but once you're at this terraced, alfresco location, you will find yourself wowed as you look out on acres of rolling greens and the turquoise blue of the Caribbean beyond. The real accomplishment, however, is on the plates. This chef can elevate a torchon de foie gras or red snapper fillet to fine art. And the food is usually light enough to allow room for one of the rich and satisfying desserts. Theme nights, concerts, and musical entertainment are worth experiencing. Frederic Vasson, the main entertainer here, has opened L’Annex in Marin at the new port.

    Les Trois-Îlets, n/a Martinique, 97229, Martinique
