Welcome to Le Pressoir
Gil & Milaure
In 2020, in the middle of the Covid years, they took over Le Pressoir. Not exactly the most sensible moment to take the helm of such a flagship…
“Nothing can resist 15 hours of relentless work a day,” says Gil’s father.
They had one conviction: Saint Martin deserved a true French table. And one ambition: to restore Le Pressoir to its former glory, and take it higher than ever.
Cotton tablecloths, Christofle silverware, crystal glassware, and a welcome that feels like home.
“Here, you are not customers, you are our guests,” as Milaure likes to say.
The cuisine
Two chefs, one standard. Gabin brings daring, Hubert the precision of experience. Scallops, caviar, lobster, wild turbot, pigeon: noble ingredients, precise cooking, balanced flavours.
And to finish, desserts by Marianne, our pastry chef.
Made to share
Our Duck Wellington: a whole organic Périgord duck breast with duxelles, spinach and foie gras in puff pastry, carved at your table.
Or let yourself be guided by our seven-course tasting menu, with optional wine pairing.
The house
In the heart of Grand Case, our 1871 Creole house has kept its soul. Tables are set the way they used to be: cotton tablecloths, Christofle “Grand Paris” silverware and crystal glassware. A rare art of hospitality in the Caribbean, and one we intend to keep.
The menu
A constantly evolving menu, and a seven-course tasting menu with optional wine pairing.
Available in nine languages.
Private events
Host your private evening at Canne & Mélasse, our rum and cigar lounge, for 6 to 18 guests: private terrace, valet parking, a dedicated waiter and your own music.
Ranked No. 1 in Caribbean Journal’s “50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean” four years in a row, from 2022 to 2025.
Named “Caribbean Restaurant of the Year” at Caribbean Journal’s 2024 Caribbean Travel Awards.
