This Creole gastronomic restaurant is particularly renowned. The chef Marie has developed plates with a refined presentation, focusing on the use of selected local products. Everything is homemade, like the fragrant and tasty bread rolls, the fish rillettes, the dried fruits for the cocktails... The sober and elegant decoration of the room, the careful table setting, the attentive service and the tasty cuisine make this establishment a must in Guadeloupe.

The young team behind this restaurant (formerly the Iguane Taverne) has completely redesigned the decor for its reopening in April 2022. The setting boasts warm, sober contemporary furnishings. The chef offers a menu that combines traditional French cuisine with local flavors, such as ouassous brochette with curry sauce or coconut cream, filet mignon with pineapple, fish with passion sauce, fish tartar.... Dishes vary according to availability. A dish of the day is offered every weekday lunchtime.

The setting of this singular and cosy establishment is particularly pleasant between woodwork and vegetation and the atmosphere is very warm. You can settle down to play darts, board games, petanque, billiards, to enjoy a good moment with friends while drinking a fresh watermelon juice, an original cocktail or by nibbling. On the food side, salads, sweet and salty waffles, boards and bowls are made from fresh and quality products with some vegan suggestions.

Widy Grégo, a former sportsman, discovered a passion for manioc. He created his own cassava processing company and offers sweet and savory vegan recipes made from Guadeloupe fruits and vegetables (pies, cheese cakes and vegan pizzas, local drinks, iced tea)... Its vegan and gluten-free products are 100% cassava. You can also find Widy Grégo on Tuesdays and Saturdays at the Neg Mawon traffic circle (near the artisanal village of Sainte-Anne) where he sells his manioc-based products.

The Pinkberries is a glacier-bar that serves both salted and sweet crepes, waffles as well as bruschettas and paninis. The whole thing is made home. Excellent ice cuts!

It's hard to miss this colorful wooden hut on the road to Pointe des Châteaux. Marie-Guylaine, the chef, aims to introduce you to the spices of Guadeloupe through her West Indian cuisine. Fresh fish fillet cooked a la plancha, tuna semi-cooked in caramel, court-bouilon, chaudage, lobster ravioli... The balance between spices and dishes is skilfully balanced. This uniqueness is also reflected in the cocktails, with their astonishing combinations (white wine and coconut cream, peppermint-rum and cytherea liqueur). Worth a try!
