| WELCOME TO THE ST. MAARTEN CAFÈ, AN ISLAND OASIS ESTABLISHED IN 1985 IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.---A FUN PLACE OWNED & OPERATED BY JIM “BIG DADDY” ROLAND & RUSTY “HAMMERHEAD” HAMILTON—TWO PIRATES AT HEART!! |  |
“MAARTENS” AS WE HAVE BECOME KNOWN IS LOCATED IN THE CORNER AREA RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THOMAS JEFFERSON’S ACADEMIC VILLAGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
GO
WAHOOS!!!
WE NAMED OUR CAFÈ AFTER THE ISLAND OF ST. MAARTEN (HALF DUTCH & HALF FRENCH)—A SMALL CARIBBEAN ISLE THAT HAS CO-EXISTED PEACEFULLY FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. WITH A DIVERSITY OF CHARACTERS LIKE THE CAFÈ---STUDENTS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, NURSES, AND A LOCAL GATHERING OF SOME OF THE MOST FUN LOVING & “OUTSTANDING IN THEIR FIELDS” CHARACTERS YOU COULD EVER WANT TO SHARE GOOD TIMES WITH!!! PLUS, THE BEST STAFF & MATES TO MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME AT OUR ISLAND!
FRIENDS &
FUN---LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF YA KNOW!
 |
MAARTENS IS THE
PLACE WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR NAME, AND WE’RE ALWAYS ON YOUR
WAY HOME, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
GREAT FRIENDSHIPS HAVE STARTED HERE, BUSINESS DEALS BEEN CUT, AND MORE THAN THOUSANDS OF BELLY LAUGHS & STORIES SPUN & TOLD—ALL IN A FUN ISLAND ATMOSPHERE AT THE BASE OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.

| Here's Mrs. Hammerhead checking to see if Mr. Hammerhead is holding back on any 'Looted Booty' |
|
AND WHEN HUNGER STRIKES, MAARTENS OFFERS UP TREMENDOUSLY LARGE SALADS, PASTAS MADE TO ORDER, FRESH BURGERS GRILLED OVER THE OPEN FLAMES, PANINIS HOT OFF THE GRILL, AND THE BEST DARN WINGS AROUND THE WORLD!
AND PLATTERS OF
CAJUN CHEESE CRISSCUTS FRIES TO CURE
THE MUNCHIES AT ANY TIME!
AND OVER ALL THE YEARS, IT’S ONLY GOTTEN BETTER & MORE FUN.
|
|
WORKING IN AN ISLAND ATMOSPHERE, IT HAS SHAPED OUR LOVE OF THE CARIBBEAN ATTITUDE OF RELAXING & “LIMIN” ---& WE SLIP OUT OF TOWN TO THE OUTER BANKS, OCRACOKE, & ST. JOHN WHENEVER WE GET A CHANCE TO FEEL THE SAND BETWEEN OUR TOES & DIVE INTO SOME SALT WATER, AND LET OUR MINDS “PLUNDER” & LISTEN TO THE CANNONS OF THE PIRATES OF OLE!! AND IF YOU HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO JIMMY BUFFETT FOR THE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE WITH GRASS SKIRTS, HAWAIIAN SHIRTS, GRILLS & COOLERS IN TOW--- |
