RESTAURANT PARADISIER
Read moreThis pleasant, welcoming terrace restaurant is an excellent place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat. Here you can choose between pizzas fresh from the wood-fired oven (also available to take away), unquestionably the best on the island, and Mediterranean specialties à la carte. Fish and seafood are well prepared. We really enjoyed the octopus tartare and the clams with curry, a real treat. Some fine meat dishes, such as the lamb curry, complete the menu. With a good glass of wine, what more could you ask for?
MABUYA RESTAURANT
Read moreLe Mabuya (which has taken the place of the legendary Bonbon Plume) is first and foremost a superb colonial-style structure made of local wood, where it's been a pleasure to sit down since October 2022. Here, you can enjoy a delicious vitamin break with cocktails (with or without alcohol) made from fresh fruit juices, which have quickly earned a good reputation, as well as a fine menu featuring vegan and gluten-free dishes alongside tuna tataki and fish ceviche. At sunset, the picture is even more grandiose!
CHÂTEAU DE FEUILLES

In the cellar, some great wines, from saint-émilion to château-neuf-du-pape and from chablis premier cru to Ruinart. As for the atmosphere, it can be described as casual chic. An excellent address.

In the evening, it's barbecue time for good grills and other Creole specialties. A nice address.
LA GOULUE CAFÉ

From bat curry to pepper-cream-cognac steak and from beefburger to fishburger, what a mix of simple dishes with all kinds of sauces, both Creole and French. The tables on the terrace are very popular with French tourists, who make up the bulk of the clientele. The atmosphere is always very friendly, as is evident from the many praises in the appreciation book, where it is written that "Chez la Goulue, c'est vachement goûtu" (Chez la Goulue, it's really tasty).

As soon as you have a well-stocked wallet, can you find at nightfall the jungle leading to this beautiful Archipelago, one of Praslin's most classy establishments, and its luxurious La Gigolette table.
