L'Escargot Review

The wraparound verandah, the bunches of grapes hanging from the chandeliers, and the Toulouse-Lautrec-style murals add to the colorful atmosphere of this restaurant in a 150-year-old, gingerbread, Creole house. As the name suggests, snails are a specialty, and are offered several ways. But the menu also includes many other French standards like onion soup, crispy duck, and veal cordon bleu. There's a cabaret show, complete with cancan in the tradition of La Cage aux Folles.

    Wonderful two nights in a row...

    My wife and I went to St. Martin in April, 2009 and L'Escargot was a true find. The food was great, as was the service, and don't forget the very cordial onsite owners. The rear parking lot is a great convenience in the middle of Philipsburgh. In fact, we liked it so much, we drove down from Oyster Bay Beach Resort to eat there two nights in a row...and we were not disappointed. A wonderful variety of escargot dishes, as well as good meat and fish entrees. Highly recommend.
