Hidden Forest Cafe
After we left Happy Bay, the sky turned overcast and it began to drizzle slightly. We decided not to check out Pinel Island because from all accounts it was slammed with tourists on Sundays, so instead we decided to check out the view from Paradise Peak, located smack dab in the middle of Saint Martin.
The view from Paradise Peak was quite magnificent. The only downside was the curving one-lane road that one has to traverse to arrive at Paradise Peak. By the time you make it (if you make it) you are so on edge that it is difficult to fully appreciate the Saint Martin landscape.
That’s why you need to check out the Hidden Forest Cafe at Loterie Farms, which is located directly off the road that leads up to Paradise Peak.
Hidden Forest Cafe is a cute restaurant and lounge that gives you the distinct feeling you are sitting up in a huge tree house. You can sit in the lounge and you’ll have a great view of the surrounding Loterie Farms.
On occasion, random dogs will wander by and poke their nose in your table to see if you are the charitable type.

Don’t feed them though because they will end up joining you for the remainder of your meal and most likely, invite some friends over as well.
The fruit drinks are mouth-watering and the appetizers are quite tasty as well. We had a crab, pesto, and artichoke dip and some jump shrimp.
On an overcast day or for a quick drink in the evening, Hidden Forest Cafe is definitely a good destination.
