Gourmet products local specialties and wines Saint-Leu

There is a small, friendly market on the seafront, which offers mainly fruit and vegetables, but also a few ready-to-wear stalls and some handicrafts. Unfortunately, its growing popularity has attracted many sellers of imported products without much interest. But don't let that spoil your stroll, a glass of fresh fruit juice in one hand and samoussas in the other while your basket fills up with all kinds of local products.

Above Saint-Leu, in the Quatres-Robinets district, discover an original healthy ice cream truck concept. Smoothie bowls, açai bowls, ice cream bars... Madame Glaces selects a maximum of organic produce to concoct its healthy, gourmet ice cream preparations. These colorful bowls with a base of mixed tropical fruits, decorated with homemade toppings, are as beautiful as they are delicious. All served in pretty coconut bowls. The address attracts a lot of people, and parking is not easy.

It was about time that this covered market located in the heart of the city and closed since the 1980s, opened its doors again. Completely renovated and inaugurated in December 2014, it hosts seven huts dedicated to the sale of local and artisanal (really made in Reunion) and quality products. You are sure to find a small souvenir "Made by Reunion", certified by this label created by the Chamber of Crafts to promote local crafts: musical instruments, ceramics, braiding... The place brings together beautiful Reunionese know-how.
