The best restaurants South

In front of the beach, this friendly glacier is very popular with the Saint-Pierrois. We eat on plastic chairs, under a long brewery style brasserie, for not too expensive. In addition to a wide variety of sorbets and ice creams, the Caraco offers all kinds of simple and good dishes: salads, omelettes, quiches, pancakes, fries, coconut-frying machines, or even day-to-day specialities.

It has been established for a few years on the seafront, just steps from the beach, and this restaurant in the tropical and airy setting reminiscent of Mauritius and Spain has improved recently. The owner, former professional footballer, wanted to create a relaxed and relaxed place where there are other high-level athletes, from metropolis or local clubs, around the bar, in the room or on the tropical terrace. Today, it's a fairly greedy metro and Creole cuisine available on a varied map and for attractive prices. Fish and meat dishes, grills, pasta and pizzas, salads, cocktails and ice cream, French and foreign wine. Finally, and this is rare enough to be reported, the waitresses are dressed in traditional Creole dress on weekends!

La Bicyclette Gourmande is a lovely spot to discover the authentic flavors of Réunion's Creole and Zoreille gastronomy. The passionate chef lovingly concocts homemade dishes using Saint -Philippe's emblematic products, such as vanilla, Vacoa cabbage and palm kernels. His cuisine will delight your taste buds and plunge you into the heart of local culinary traditions. You can enjoy these specialties in the dining room or on the charming wooden terrace. What's more, the welcome is warm and friendly. In short, it's an invitation to a gourmet journey.

On the seafront, at the Hotel Alizé Beach, an ideal restaurant for the holidays with its soft rates and wide choice, from a simple snack card to the real restaurant. We love the efficiency of its staff as well as its service in the daytime, appreciable in the event of a little hunger after bathing! Salads are offered in two sizes, depending on your appetite. Side meat and fish, simple and goûteuse cuisine to local products, with some specialities: Vanilla pork, shrimp pan, duck magret… also barbecue, a Chinese card, a great choice of pasta and pizza, gourmet plates… In the end, a good deal without bad surprise, open for very many years.

Located in the center of town in a charming typical Creole hut, the Longanis is certainly the restaurant with the best quality/price ratio for Reunionese food in the village. On the menu, the most popular Creole dishes: sausage rougail, cod rougail, shop suey, upside down bowl... To which are added grilled fish, beef, tuna tartar, gratins... To be enjoyed on the covered outdoor terrace or inside. Those who prefer to eat on the go can opt for a takeaway tray. Concerts on weekends.

Cabri massalé, rougail trois frères, civet de coq, boucané brinzel, risofé guêpes... Here, curries are made in the purest respect for traditional Creole wood-fired cooking. Every day, the house concocts five different recipes to be enjoyed in the form of a "buffet marmite". Gourmets and big appetites can finish with a gato patate or a Dakatine chocolate moelleux. You can choose to sit in the air-conditioned indoor dining room or in the shady backyard. You can also order takeaway.

It is in the shopping street François de Mahy that is installed this small cocoon of greediness. At the Line Coffee & Shop you will be welcomed by a young and dynamic team in a pink powdered atmosphere. These passionate people are busy in the kitchen to concoct a nice range of sweet and salty homemade sweets every week: avocado toast, hot dog, truffled club sandwich, cookie, carrot cake, cheesecake... A handful of tables inside and no reservation possible. Only small drawback: the address is not equipped with toilets.

On the corner of rue Marius et Ary Leblond and rue François Isautier, Le Bistroké welcomes you to its 20-seat air-conditioned dining room, with its warm, cosy atmosphere. From croque-monsieur to ceviche, boletus risotto, andouillette AAAAA sauce au poivre vert péi or chili sin carne, the restaurant offers a brasserie-style menu. At Le Bistroké, simplicity rhymes with quality, with suggestions renewed weekly and everything home-cooked, using fresh seasonal produce. Dishes can also be taken away.

Not far from the fishermen's quarter of Terre Sainte, the Risofé restaurant serves traditional Creole cuisine. On the menu are a variety of curries, rougails and sautés to be discovered daily: baba fig boucané, cabri massage, civet lapin, rougail morue, fried sausages, rougail chevaquines... Not forgetting the restaurant's specialty: heated rice, of course! You can enjoy your meal on the pleasant, shaded terrace with its modern decor, or order a tray to take away. Wine bar and tapas in the evening.

Two Réunion Islanders with a love of South America have taken up the challenge of this family-run restaurant, which delights curious travelers' taste buds. Warm colors and Latin music set the mood. The cocktails are "to die for", and the food succulent. With tacos, ask for the extra guacamole, it'll be even better. Papichūlo takes its inspiration from authentic recipes, and the tortillas used are made by a Mexican woman living in Réunion Island. The welcome is warm, the service attentive and efficient.

Unanimous success for Hippi'Eat, which fills up every weekend at brunch time! Reservations are essential, especially if you want a seat outside. The setting is well worth its weight in gold, with tables set out on the terrace under a hundred-year-old badamier tree, directly facing the sea. The dishes combine flavors from here and abroad, and the brunch formula may seem a little too standardized, but other options are available à la carte. Here, we take the time to live, in an atmosphere of peace and love.

Traditional, family-style Creole cuisine. Jennifer and Jérôme, the parents, work in the kitchen, while Sheryl, their daughter, handles customer relations and cashiering. Their restaurant is always busy at lunchtime, with a large local clientele of regulars and Réunionese. Palm salad, chicken or fresh fish carry, cabbage vacoa boucané, sausage rougail... You'll find the great classics of Creole cuisine on a daily-changing à l'ardoise menu, with a maximum of five-six dishes and a few desserts. Fast service and a warm welcome.

Smiles and efficiency are the hallmarks of this new space. Downstairs, the restaurant, where visitors come for morning coffee, a quick lunch or to sip a cocktail on the terrace in the evening, takes on the allure of a guinguette. On the plate, "happiness is homemade". Upstairs is the coworking space for workers without a fixed office, digital nomads and other users (hourly, half-day, daily or monthly rates). Two distinct services for a single space dedicated to "happyterrians" that combines business with pleasure.

This restau-bistrot is a unanimous favorite. Creative metropolitan cuisine, enhanced by exotic and local flavors. The classics are well represented (beef tongue, sweetbreads, duck confit...), but you'll find just as much pleasure in savoring a delicious coconut punch, followed by a "zourite carpaccio" and sweet potato gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce and caramelized hazelnuts. The chef can even concoct a gluten-free, lactose-free or sugar-free dish if required. The place, with its atypical decor, is very friendly and welcoming.

A good South West restaurant restaurant, opened for several years. It is in an air-conditioned room, opposite the tourist office, on the first River which separates Saint-Pierre from St. Peter, that you will taste its duck duck, duck planchas, produced frog legs… A wide map with also roasted pie, tartars meat and fish and salads. We appreciate soft rates and fast and professional service. Welcome.

The Granada Inn offers a high-quality cuisine in a beautiful, peaceful garden with palm trees, banana trees and taverns in the city centre. An imaginative, imaginative cuisine with mainly metropolitan inspiration, adorned with Creole or spicy flavors of bold foreign touches. Poëlée of flambés snails in Pastis, steak of toothfish with Victoria pineapple… The must: a choice of entry and of the fatty Liver: in bowl, spicy, decaying, salad, poelé… The extensive and delicious experience is complemented by a perfect service. Finally, a wide selection of homemade desserts. An address we strongly recommend, especially for the surprise menu.

Right from the start, you'll be seduced by the atmosphere of this little roadside restau-guinguette, with its terrace overlooking the ocean. Somewhere between France and Sicily, the menu is no less seductive, and if you're a fan of blanquette de veau or osso buco, you'll send your taste buds into nirvana. The recipes are rather traditional, but also leave room for creativity "according to the chef's mood". Everything is fresh daily and homemade, so there's something for every diet, every budget and every hour of the day!

Located between the beach and the chasm, this small snack is the perfect place to have a gourmet break at any time of the day. A friendly place, with a warm welcome and a pleasant shaded terrace with pastel colors. It offers a nice choice of homemade dishes: homemade bouchons, vegetarian salads, tuna tartars, poké bowls, pasta, carrys... For dessert or snack: fresh fruit juices, waffles, pancakes, forty-five flavors of homemade ice creams, from the simplest to the most original ones like mango and pepper.

A relaxed, family atmosphere for this creative, offbeat restaurant, set in the middle of an arts and crafts center with an incubator of varied activities. On the kitchen side, savoury tapas and homemade dishes such as pineapple stuffed with crow, a dessert bar, and a super-brunch on Sundays. Also concerts, shows, and kaz à fabrik: souvenir store, delicatessen, workshops (beer brewing, painting/textile/wood creations, fruit and vegetable processing), children's area. A third place where you'll feel right at home!
