Family-owned French restaurant since 1998

For more than 28 years,

La Cigale has been one of Saint-Martin’s most established addresses for refined French dining,

offering elegant cuisine and waterfront views on the lagoon in Baie Nettle.

The Cuisine

Our cuisine is inspired by classic French gastronomy,

elevated with freshness, precision, and deep respect for ingredients.

We work with carefully selected products, favoring quality,

seasonality, and simplicity.

Our menu highlights fresh fish, fine meats,

and traditional French dishes, prepared with elegance and balance.

Each plate reflects our philosophy:

sincere and honest cooking, balanced flavors, and a deep respect for culinary traditions

— focused on quality rather than unnecessary complexity.

Our story

La Cigale is a family-owned French restaurant established in 1998 in Saint-Martin.

For more than two decades, our family has been sharing a sincere love for French cuisine, hospitality, and the art of dining.

What began as a simple desire to cook well and welcome guests warmly has become a place where locals and travelers return year after year to celebrate life’s special moments — anniversaries, birthdays, family gatherings, evenings with friends, and unforgettable sunsets.

At La Cigale, everything is about authenticity, consistency, and heart.
