Lunch at Orient Beach

[58Piano]

Going on a tour with Bernard Tours. They stop for awhile at Orient Beach. Where can we get a good lunch while there?

[RBTraveler]

There are a number of good places to eat!

[Hlitner]

There are more then a dozen eating venues at Orient and they range from very good to pretty awful. :)

Ok then tell me the good ones. And the bad ones to avoid please.

Lots is going to depend on where on Orient Beach you are. It's a rather long beach area.

We've eaten at Pedro's a few times, mostly because it's convenient. Expensive, not that good and 1 time I got a hamburger that wasn't cooked enough.

 

Did you try the Ports of Call boards?

Highly recommend #1 "Chez Leandra" or #2 "Ethnic". Ethnic makes fantastic burgers. Chez Leandra makes great seafood (conch fritters, chowder, etc.), as well as wraps. These places don't look like much but the Owner is usually in the store, and they care!

Another option (and my personal favorite) would be to drop the tour to Orient Beach and just grab a cab to Maho Beach. Eat at the world famous Sunset Bar and watch the up close and personal landing of heavy jets very close to you. But then, we are just not much into tours usually preferring to go our own way. Your mileage may vary.:D:D

If you want to go somewhere off of the beach but nearby I HIGHLY recommend Sarafinas

Everyone has a different opinion of course. Orient Beach (first picture below) is beautiful and while it can get crowded in some sections it is still very nice for walking and swimming. For a restaurant check out Aloha (look at TripAdvisor). Maho (second picture) is a madhouse of people drinking and looking at planes and while a plane or two is fun it is no place to relax. It all depends on what you want to do.

Sarafina's is quite nice but it is in Marigot, a good distance from Orient Beach.
