The best restaurants in the West Indies Martinique

Just a few steps from the sea, there's a restaurant where it's good to stop, run by Francine, the mother (in charge of the cuisine), and Manuéla, the girl (in the room). Milo? It's the name of Francine's dad. Here everything is homemade, seafood and fresh fish are their specialities and the chef makes miracles. We recommend his soup z'inhabitant (crayfish) or the fish blaff (and even sea urchins, depending on the season). Do not miss the coconut blanc manger for dessert. Ventilated terrace and pretty decoration. One of our favourites.

Feel like Al Capone for an evening? That's the idea behind this brand-new, highly original restaurant on the Quai de Sainte-Luce, decorated entirely on the theme of the Neapolitan mafia. To find it, go to the very end of the quay. The dishes feature Italian-Creole flavors: lobster and crab lasagne, lobster or truffle pasta, authentic Italian tiramisu... The welcome is just as warm, and the view of the Sainte-Luce boats is sublime.

Lise has taken over the former Marley's, with its superb sea-facing terrace. This bar-restaurant-lounge offers top-quality Creole cuisine: a large Creole plate, fish or chicken colombo, crispy shrimp, stuffed crab, fierce avocado, grilled ouassous... But the star here is the lobster. A lobster menu is available, as is another with lambi (in season). Special mention for the catch of the day. Smiling welcome.

Nestled in the enchanting setting of Anse Figuier, with a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea, this new beach restaurant offers fine, well-prepared and seasoned cuisine. On the menu: mini-tacos (chicken, shrimp or beef), langoustines flambéed in rum, marlin tartare with citrus fruits, fish return deglazed with dog sauce, lambi langouste signature burger with maracudja sauce. Desserts are just as delicious. The plates are composed like works of art. The cocktails are to die for!

In the heart of the Creole village, under the magnificent XXL shade cloth, the legendary Malibu has changed ownership to become West Indies Kfé. The menu features classic cocktails and original creations with a Caribbean twist, including the Blue Lagoon, Madras Frozen and many others. On the food side, you'll enjoy simple fare: crêpes, accras, tapas, burgers, tuna tartare... A pleasant place for a gourmet stop-off after a day at the beach, an impromptu aperitif or a meal with friends.

Behind the market, this little waterfront restaurant is renowned for... its accras, of course - divine, hearty and perfectly spiced! You'll also be tempted by skewers of chicken with pineapple, shrimp or seafood (lambi, fish, shrimp), accompanied by peyi vegetables, crudités, French fries or purée, or fricassee of chatrou. The presentation of the dishes is particularly refined and the plates are generous. There's also a good choice of salads (fisherman's or Creole). A smiling welcome. A friendly address at a reasonable price.
