Upon my
second visit to the island of Sint Maarten-Saint Martin, I was pleased to find
that so many more businesses were open! Unknowingly, I had last gone
during the off season when, apparently, very few bakeries actually make
macarons. I am pleased to report back that there were so many more
opportunities for French macarons this time around!
During
my travels, I happened upon this great bakery.
Le Divin is a French Bakery located in the Port de Marigot, on the
French side of the island. They have a lot of open space with seating, a
lovely view of the port, view of the market, and most importantly, French
macarons! The staff was delightful and I enjoyed the macarons and look forward
to visiting again!
The
flavors of macarons that I tried were strawberry and vanilla.
Strawberry: This macaron was
sweet with a nice soft cookie. I was filled with a with a delicious
buttercream filling. I liked that it was delicate but didn't fall apart. The
macarons were not as smooth visually as I am used to seeing, but they sure were
tasty.
Vanilla: This macaron had
a soft shell, yummy buttercream and was very buttery. I really felt there
was a great filling-to-cookie ratio.
Who
should go there: If you are visiting
the island, then you will surely also be visiting Marigot. In this case,
you should go there! It's spacious, full of delicious French
pastries and a variety of French macarons for an extremely good price.
I'll
definitely be stopping back to try: Pistachio and chocolate
