Nestled on the beautiful shores of St. Martin, Le Côté Lagon invites you to relax, sip, and savor in a refined yet laid-back atmosphere.
From morning coffees with a sea view to fresh, locally-sourced seafood lunches, every moment here is crafted for pure enjoyment.
If you’re on the French side or over from Dutch Sint Maarten: the menu, some photos, short reads about the lagoon, and answers to the questions people usually ask before they come.
Menu
The chalkboard changes with the day: mains from the kitchen, burgers, rigatoni and salads, a kids’ menu, and our lunch set menu. When the sun starts to drop, the tapas list comes out from 6:00.
We’re on the French lagoon; a lot of people drive over from Simpson Bay or Philipsburg for lunch.
Open the menuTerrace
Pale wood, open air, and water calm enough for kids to paddle while you finish dessert. Casual — shade, breeze, space.
Handy if you’re in Baie Nettlé after Marigot or a beach on the Dutch side.

Notes on eating here, local ingredients, and drinks — plus plain guides to Nettle Bay, Marigot, and how the French side connects to the rest of St. Martin / Sint Maarten.
English or French is fine; it’s one island with two sides, and we’re on the French shore.
