La Villa Hibiscus, Mont Vernon

Went for dinner here last night with a group of friends and it was amazing. Not only the food selection on the five course menu was amazing, the ambiance and people were great. Without me saying anything, they found out through my drink orders that I don't drink alcohol and came up with alternatives for me for menu items that normally had alcohol in them. Really attentive and very tasty! Setting beautiful, nice people and delicious food! Worth going to if you want to splurge on some amazing food - surely not a burger joint for a quick meal, but a place to go and enjoy some true gastronomic experience.

La Villa Hibiscus is one of the best dining experiences we had on the island. Chef Bastian is an incredible talent—his dishes were beautifully crafted, delicious and beautifully presented. The wine pairing was terrific. The whole experience felt personal yet polished. He greeted us when we came in. His team was so warm and attentive—it’s like being welcomed into someone’s home, but with the finesse of a top-tier restaurant. The restaurant itself is beautiful with intimate elegance. We did not know what to expect but we loved it! It’s a must for anyone who loves food done with heart and creativity.

We did a tasting menu with wine pairings as a treat during our holiday. The ambiance and service were top notch. Much thought went into the preparation of each dish. The veal was the best course - although the presentation of all dishes was excellent, there was some inconsistency in the courses, some excellent, some only good but not stellar. Overall a very pleasant evening of fine dining.

Chef Bastian is one of the most creative chefs on the island. He didn’t disappoint, again, last night. What a wonderful meal. We had the 6 course tasting meal. We started with a lovely drink by the pool. We lingered for at least 1/2 hour, enjoyed the amuse bouche laughed, and even had two of the lovely hand crafted cocktails. This consisted of a tea tray with three wonderfully crafted bits, one which was a pea puree with crispy bites of croutons, then smoked ceviche served in a faux sea urchin ceramic, and then finally a carrot purée with shaved carrot on top. Delicious! We finally moved to the main table. We were five people and had a lovely table overlooking the main area. Our first course was a spectacular summer tomato dish, thinly sliced with delicate pomegranate seeds. The next dish was a delicate cheese soufflé with a coating of freshly shaved black truffles, creating a shell around the soufflé, served with a seafood foam bisque, which created a perfect balance. The next dish was a rare slice of tuna paired with a leek amongst dollops of coconut cream in a sea of Demi glacé. the final dish was a sous vide chicken re-fashioned along with two baby artichokes that were seared and placed on top with the garnish of greens and a generous portion of caviar. The saltiness of the caviar paired perfectly with the dish and the dessert was equally delicious. See the wonderful pictures. I hope you get an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful meal from chef bastian.

La Villa Hibiscus is a true gem in the heart of St. Martin. Chef Bastian is a real artist in the kitchen, combining flavors and techniques in ways that are both creative and absolutely delicious. Every dish feels like a surprise and a delight. The service is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home while still being incredibly professional. The atmosphere is the perfect mix of romantic and friendly, so it’s great for a special night out or just a fun meal with friends. And the cocktails are some of the most delicious and interesting ones on the island! I’ve been here many times, and it never disappoints. If you’re a foodie looking to be impressed, don’t miss this place!

The high ratings here are well deserved. The restaurant was absolutely fantastic, on all levels. The ambiance is classy and relaxing. The food was amazing. The staff was exceptional. I look forward to returning.

We enjoyed staying here. The location is nice, and very close to orient beach. It’s a very upscale vibe and you feel like you’re in a hidden oasis. The only mentions I would say to guests- |1. If you’re from the US you will need a conversion plug. There are only French outlets. They were kind enough to supply me with one for my stay, but had they not allowed me to use it, my phone had died so I would have been SOL. |Also if you want to use any hot tools (flat iron/ curling iron/blow dryer you can’t even with the conversion plug. The blowdryer they provided the high was pretty powerful. As a professional in the hit industry I was very impressed with the hair dryer!!! I could curl or smooth it out though so my hair was a frizz ball most of the time haha |2. The rooms are open to the elements. The Bedroom is pretty closed off but the windows just have a wooden shade, so small insects were around. It wasn’t enough to drive me away but if there was even a crumb of food the ants would find it and be all over. So you do have to make sure to properly dispose of food and things. |3. The stairs are a little steep. You will have to carry your bags up stairs and if you’re up high it’s a little difficult. Don’t bring huge luggage bags to make things easier on yourself. ||However these things were not bothersome enough to take a star away, I would still say it was a very good 5 star experience here. The grounds were beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Easily the best restaurant on the entire island. We always eat at the finest restaurants in Grand Case but this surpasses them all. We’ve come every year for the past 14 years. La Villa Hibiscus has been here for 3 and is a must visit. You will not be disappointed!
