Zen-it is in Grand Case, just South of the "bridge" and right on the beach. They have "indoor" balcony seating or tables with umbrellas in the sand. They have an extensive drinks menu. the food menu is a chalk board that they turn to face you. The food menu is deceptively short, there are endless variations for everything on the... More

We visited Zen It twice on our trip. The first time we had a good lunch with a nice view of the beach. The second time we came back late night and hung out in the bar and enjoyed some excellent reggae with what seemed like a lot of locals. A very fun night!

We discovered this place as one of the few that serve breakfast in Grand Case and absolutely loved it! The food is gourmet quality yet simple and inexpensive. Enjoy an espresso or coffee, fresh squeezed juices, amazing omelets, eggs, french toast, pan cakes, while dipping your toes in the sand right on the water. Everything is made with love and... More

This is the third year we have gone to Zen It. For the two previous years we sat on the beach and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. This year, however, we sat inside. The view of the trash in the canal and the odor from the rest room were nauseating, the waiter was impatient and the food was lackluster.... More

We have enjoyed many fun afternoons and evenings at Zen IT in the 3+ years of traveling to St Martin. Between the very friendly staff and Max (manager), its excellent location on the beach, and the great bands they have playing occasionally, this is one very chill bar. The casual feel and relaxed attitude might not be for everyone, however... More

The service at the Zen It Restaurant (Grand Case, St-Maarten) is just awful. Repeatably. The 3 men who are the waiters spend their time talking with locals and engaging in long conversations. They pay little attention to people (i.e. tourists) who come to eat. Service is generally slow and sometimes arrogant. Everytime I tried this restaurant over the past 4... More
