The best restaurants Fort-De-France & Area

L'Éphémère is a unique concept in themed dining in the gardens of the Belfort dwelling. One Thursday a month, chef Micheline Zie invites her aficionados to (re)discover her inventive, cross-cultural cuisine and share an unforgettable moment. The themes change according to the inspiration of the chef (Rimed Razié, grand large, gourmet street food...) who then concocts a complete meal inspired by Creole gardens. Every Tuesday at noon, you can take advantage of a package that combines a visit to the plantation with lunch. An experience not to be missed!

200% fresh, 100% local: that's the motto of this brand-new sandwich shop that highlights the flavors of yesteryear. Kay Sandwich treats you from breakfast to lunch, including the 10 a.m. snack. Every Monday, we impatiently wait for the sandwich of the week which honors local products: the conch fricassee sandwich, the titiris accras sandwich (small river fish), but also the omelets revisited locally (cod chiquetaille). Most of the products come directly from the family garden.

A 100% Martinique burger, with local products: homemade chicken seasoned with local spices, drumsticks, wings, and tenders will delight you, just like the delicious burgers served with sweet potato fries. BKB stands for Burger Bokay, which means homegrown burger! Try the Mastok Egg, the Otentik, or the Bokay Bacon. This shop located at the Cap Saint-Joseph station only offers take-away sales at the drive-through. Other brands exist on the island. And two new ones will be opening soon!

In the heart of Jambette Village, Churrasco Steak House marries Caribbean flavors to perfection. On the menu, marinated meat specialties, served in the purest Brazilian tradition, directly cut up at the table: chicken skewers with bacon, rack of lamb, entrecôte… We particularly love the delicious Black Angus burger. An all-you-can-eat buffet (in 3 passes), cold and hot. For those with a small appetite, opt for the self-service Salad Bar (shrimps, cooked vegetables, raw vegetables…). An address not to be missed for meat lovers!

One of our absolute favorites! Welcomed at the entrance by an XXL statue of Ganesh, the famous Hindu god with an elephant's head, we are immediately telescoped to the country of a thousand scents, Sri Lanka! The room, with its original decoration, contributes to the change of scenery. As for the cuisine, it is simply divine: each dish is an invitation to travel, subtly blending spices and tradition. The biryani, curry, and tandoori are all delicious. The naans are cooked in large amphorae, straight from Asia. A great address!

In the heart of the chic Didier district, Sushi Torii and its fusion cuisine combine Japanese inspirations and West Indian flavors. Come and try the inevitable sushi, maki, sahimi, seaweed, poke bowls, temaki and other tempura, but also original creations: hot sushi (cheddar, naruto), cold sushi (rolls…) and original 100% Paii dishes: the Torii Bokay (tuna or marlin and flambéed banana) and the Torii boat (a combination of different sushi). It's fresh, it's good, and it's a change from the traditional chicken colombo!

In the heart of Fort-de-France, Fanfan revives 100% local cuisine inspired by her grandmother's recipes. The menu is authentic, based on fresh produce. It evolves with the seasons: lambi gratin, sea urchin supreme, fish court-bouillon, giraumon flan, not forgetting cod ti-nain... Suggestions include soups (vegan, earth, sea) on Thursdays, grilled lambi on Fridays, mechoui (lamb, suckling pig) on Saturdays. Tasty cuisine with a hint of spice. A charming setting, an air-conditioned room under a beautiful glass roof.

This is Martinique's newest bistro nugget, freshly installed in Schoelcher. We love the contemporary decor of the brightly-colored interior. An ephemeral menu that highlights exceptional products, such as matured Kobe meat, and revisits local specialties with talent, such as an excellent fish blaff. The bar is located on an outdoor wooden terrace, for a tropical look. A novelty to discover!

Board immediately for Brazil at the Favela. This colorful and friendly restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the bay of Fort-de-France, but above all serves a typical Brazilian cuisine. Try the famous feijoada, served with black beans and pork, or the muqueca, shrimps and fish simmered in coconut milk. Meat-lovers will be tempted by the delicious grilled meats (entrecôte, prime rib) and fish lovers by the catch of the day. Tempting cocktail menu. We love it!

A little tired of the traditional chicken colombo and Tahitian style marlin? Try Torii Sushi and its fusion cuisine combining Japanese inspirations and West Indian flavors. Try the inevitable sushi, maki, sahimi, seaweed, poke bowls, temaki and other tempura, but also original creations: hot sushi (cheddar, naruto), cold sushi (rolls…) and the 100% peyi dishes: the Torii Bokay (tuna or marlin and flambéed banana) and the Torii boat (combination of different sushi). It's fresh and very good!

A small trailer that grew together with the reputation of its "100% local" pancakes. The Palais des Gourmands offers you a whole assortment of original and unique recipes: … crêpes, shrimp, smoked chicken… A real treat after a walk on the Seawall!

Le Palm is a bistro-bar-lounge restaurant. Surrounded by a tropical garden, it is nestled in a green setting in the heart of Fort-de-France. It offers two concepts in one: snackonomie (luxury snack with a dish of the day) at lunchtime and bistronomie in the evening. From breakfast to dinner, the menu is designed by Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin. The restaurant also plays on the art and culture trend by regularly hosting exhibitions. A new place that promises to make a splash and get people talking..

Charles & Albert has opened its Urban Slow Food temple in the Didier district. Here, priority is given to local products and short circuits. You're welcomed into a cosy setting for breakfast, with pastries and brunches (special mention for the 100% pure-butter cinnamon apple!). For lunch, it's tartine, quiche of the day or salad. But above all, you'll want to try the desserts, each one more gourmet than the last: pavlova, fresh fruit tart, mango-cassis entremets... Try the homemade spread - it's delicious!

Immediate boarding for the Italian Riviera with this new restaurant located in Champigny's commercial zone. The surroundings aren't very charming, but the journey will quickly make you forget the decor. You'll be transported to Italy with genuine specialties from traditional Italian cuisine: Neapolitan pizzas, fresh pasta (carbonara, homemade pesto...), antipasti (crispy burrata, bruschetta), desserts (tiramisu, panna cotta and pizzatella) and wines straight from the Italian peninsula.

Right in the heart of Fort-de-France, Ubuntu is a space where sharing and exchange reign supreme. Derived from the Bantu languages and dialects of southern Africa, "ubuntu" literally means "humanity". As soon as you climb the stairs, you're whisked away to the African continent: statuettes, masks, stretched canvases, plants... Here you can nibble on a plank, drink a cocktail, all to a well-chosen musical backdrop. Concerts and jam sessions are regularly organized. A guaranteed change of scenery!

Located on the first floor of a building facing Place de la Savane, this new restaurant offers generous, modern cuisine. It welcomes you in a warm and cosy atmosphere. Our specialty? Grilled meats, poultry and fish, which the chef sublimates to perfection, rigorously working the products and cooking them to delight your taste buds. A fine selection of carefully selected wines and champagnes (mostly from small producers and micro-cuvées) to accompany the dishes. The restaurant also offers tasty cocktails.

The Lili family is growing! After Le François, Lili arrives in Cluny with its fresh, local cuisine, in a modern, soothing atmosphere. The setting is splendid and tastefully decorated. The cuisine matches the decor: fried fish salad, local beef sandwiches, beef brisket with yam purée, rice with burnt coconut milk or cocoa manioc crumble. And on weekends, we brunche: pastries, toast, scrambled organic eggs, banana pancakes with yoghurt, honey and passion fruit sauce, avocado and fromage frais toast. We love it!

Nathanaël Ducteil has set up his restaurant in the Comptoir des Viandes boutique, where you can sample the talented Martiniquan chef's revisited specialties: lambis hot-dog, local pork (côte boucanée, kumquat confit, sweet potato, peanut) or clam-crusted bass fillet with lentil cream. On the sweet side, special mention goes to the sweet potato, a moelleux with aged rum, or the rice with coconut milk, "nannan coco" sorbet, rice tuile and crumble. There are only 15 places, so book ahead!

In a lovely green setting, just a stone's throw from the pretty Schoelcher beach, this restaurant with the look of a fisherman's shack offers quality local cuisine. Here, everything is homemade, including sauces and side dishes, and the produce is 100% Péyi. The menu is simple but effective. Special mention should be made of the tuna mi-cuit, marlin steak, sea bream brochette and the house specialty: chicken brochette. A smiling welcome and attentive staff. Excellent value for money. We recommend it!

With its beautiful outdoor terrace offering a lovely sea view, O'Pub is much more than a restaurant or a cocktail bar: it's a place where friends come to enjoy a drink, a Caribbean beer, tapas, a salad, a filet of Lebanese-style sea bream or a pearl couscous with giraumon, or to play board games. Entertainment is organized regularly. Don't miss: happy hour from 4pm to 6pm every day on all draught beers and the cocktail of the day.
