Dining in Philipsburg

Kangaroo Court restaurant, Philipsburg, St. Maarten

© Bob Curley
The Kangaroo Court is one of Philipsburg's best restaurants and conveniently located just a block away from the Courthouse on Hendrickstraat. There's a small indoor dining area and bar, but walk through to the back and ask to be seated in the lovely courtyard framed by the ruins of an ancient salt warehouse. Creative salads, pizzas, burgers, pastas, and sandwiches appeal to locals and tourists alike. Other downtown dining choices include the fine French L'Escargot on Front Street and the beach bars and restaurants along the Boardwalk.
