When Derek and I were on our honeymoon in St. Martin we found a local treasure call lolos. For a downright cheap but delicious dinner, nothing can beat St. Martin’s famous lolos. ”Lolo” is a local word for an outdoor barbecue business, where the cooking is done before your eyes and seating is at picnic tables. Grand Case, St. Martin’s restaurant capital, features several lolos clustered on the waterside of the main street. This glorious street of tasty delights was just a 3-minute walk away from our resort in St. Martin.
If you have the opportunity to visit St. Martin…run, don’t walk to Grand Case (Case is pronounced Cass) and indulge in a fat kids delight! Oh, by the way…as you walk down “restaurant row” you will often times be passionately greeted & invited by the owners to come “sit”, “eat”, “relax” at that particular lolo.
I found the most interesting part of the competition between the lolos is that what may look like one or two establishments, you can find up to four lolos in operation. The lolo we had lunch at was nestled on the side of an indoor restaurant, and shared an awning with another lolo that was positioned directly behind ours. 
Directly next to our lolo were two more following the same set-up as ours. It seems that the front of the two lolos has the “right at the street” advantage. People don’t know to walk 5 ft further to eat at a completely different restaurant. However, if you love the sea and take every advantage you eat seaside while in St. Martin you will obviously see out the lolo hidden behind the street side lolo, because you will get a wonderful view of the beach as you eat.
