Cafe Martinique

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

French Classics with a Bahamian Soul

Café Martinique sits within Marina Village at Atlantis Paradise Island, its outdoor terrace looking out over the resort's marina. The setting is formal enough to warrant resort chic attire, yet the waterfront backdrop keeps things from feeling stiff. This is a room built for occasion dinners — anniversaries, celebrations, or simply a long evening where the food deserves full attention.

The kitchen draws on the timeless traditions of French cuisine, thoughtfully reimagined to incorporate the vibrant flavors and ingredients of The Bahamas. That combination — classical technique grounded in local identity — gives the cooking a sense of place that pure French fine dining in a resort context can sometimes lack.

Chef Adrien Delcourt at the Pass

Chef de Cuisine Adrien Delcourt leads the kitchen, and his presence is felt most vividly in the tableside preparation of a Grand Marnier Soufflé — a dessert that demands precision and confidence in equal measure. It's the kind of finish to a meal that reminds guests why classic French technique endures.

The Bar, the Absinthe, and the Wine List

Before or after dinner, the bar and lounge offers a curated selection of upscale cocktails alongside a signature absinthe experience — a nod to old-world French café culture that feels deliberate rather than decorative. The wine program has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2025, recognition that reflects both the depth of the list and the seriousness with which pairings are approached here. For guests who want guidance, the room is well-suited to a proper wine pairing dinner.

An Elegant Evening on Paradise Island

Café Martinique opens for dinner seven evenings a week from 5:30 PM, with the last seating at 10:00 PM. Families with young children are welcome before 6:30 PM. Live entertainment adds to the atmosphere without overwhelming conversation. Reservations are strongly encouraged — and with good reason.
