The service is okay and I start with Ravioli with Wild Mushroom and Truffle Oil, which is a dazzling dish and there is no need to add any seasoning as the flavors are perfectly balanced. The Parmentier of Duck Leg Confit with Pan-Fried Foie Gras is mind blowing and the apples served with this dish balance the flavors beautifully. Another ravishing dish is the Turbot with Marinated Foie Gras, which is marinated in Port and served with a creamy potato puree.

This is top of the bill food and even though the check is in Euros, believe me it's worth every euro-penny! All the desserts here are marvelous and an added bonus is that you can buy most of them in their pastry shop to go! I absolutely adore their Crème Brûlée and the Macaroons are certainly worth trying.

Bacchus was the Roman god of agriculture and wine. The owner of this venue is definitely a wine lover and knows plenty about it! This venue is located in the industrial part of St. Maarten, where there is plenty of space for this restaurant, wine and pastry shop in one. The location doesn't add a cozy French feeling to the ambiance, but the variety and creativity displayed on the menu is so stunning. I don't really mind where I am when I can taste dishes this divine!
