EXPERIENCE HISTORY AND FINE DINING AT CAFÉ MARTIER
Pronounced like Cartier the watch or Sidney Portier, but
for Martin County — Café Martier! We proudly offer Europeaninspired
24
cuisine tailored to local palettes.
Designed in 1919 in the French Mediterranean Revival style,
an Arcade was the term for a modern-day mall, with shops and
common areas, entertainment and food. Strategically located,
the new Post Office Arcade emerged right across from the Flagler
Florida East Coast Railroad Depot — where communication
from family up north reached loved ones embarked upon the
ultimate new Florida adventure, complete with mosquitoes and
funny-looking lizards, mounds of native-American bones, pirates,
bootleggers, rumrunners, bank robbers and unsavory business
conglomerates.
Our lovingly restored venue spans 6,000 square feet as the
oldest commercial building on the Treasure Coast, which by the
grace of God, has not burned or been damaged by dozens of
hurricanes over the century. Knock on Wood. We have, however,
endured our share of flooding, courtesy of our friendly ghosts.
It was the most grand post office in America — designed to attract
businesses and offer a social gathering place for residents. A
dazzling construction for 1920, it boasted a ceiling of hand-hewn
Miami-Dade Pine, floors of handmade Saltillo tiles, complete with
doggy footprints from a fun-seeking puppy, original clay tile and
handmade bricks in the Hearth Room. A first of its kind, it soared
high above with a skylit fountain gallery, where marriage proposals
were a custom, raised terrace in the fashion of the Champs-
Elysée, and enough room to drive a buggy from the rail depot
to the river. Originally a riverfront property, it was a magnificent
vision in the rural community of Stuart.
