High Cook
About
High Cook in Saint Martin runs its own website at hicook.fr, giving the kitchen a direct online presence on the island. The venue sits within reach of Marigot, Philipsburg, Grand Case, Orient Bay, Maho, Cupecoy, Mullet Bay and Sandy Ground, so it can be worked into a day crossing between the island's two sides.
With 33 reviews producing a 4.9 out of 5 average, the feedback is unusually consistent, and that record is what the venue is known for. First-time visitors should expect a small operation where the standard is set high rather than a large room turning tables quickly.
Caribbean cooking commonly combines rice, plantain and saltfish with Scotch bonnet and other hot peppers, a style that shapes what kitchens across the island put out. Caribbean islands are mostly volcanic or limestone in origin, and coral reefs grow off many of their coasts, which explains the seafood that reaches local tables.
Green and hawksbill turtles nest on Caribbean beaches, and coral reefs support reef fish and spiny lobster, both of which appear on menus around Saint Martin. Sugar plantations worked by enslaved Africans shaped Caribbean societies from the seventeenth century onward, and that history still shows in the island's cooking. A meal at High Cook fits easily into a day that also takes in Marigot or Grand Case.
