A festival of colours and scents for this market, coming in third place in #YourMostBeautifulMarket in 2018 and 2019. It is also one of the least expensive on the island. Along the waterfront, fill up on vanilla, glean tempting recipes, familiarize yourself with the various chili peppers of the island or buy faham leaves, not found in France, to marinate in your rum arranger. On the handicraft side, original jewellery and quality Malagasy creations. Here, you will leave with vitamins in your body and smiles in your eyes.

Opened in 2021, this is the first chocolate bar in Reunion Island. A highly gourmet address where you can enjoy pancakes, waffles, fruit plates... which are then covered with melted chocolate and decorated with toppings. From dark to milk and dulcey, Chocola Té offers no less than eight varieties of high quality melted chocolate from the Valrhona brand. To quench your thirst, there is a nice choice of homemade hot and cold drinks (hot chocolate, iced tea, iced coffee...). All this is enjoyed in a pretty bohemian decor.

Founded in 1845, the island's oldest distillery offers some thirty different aged rums, white rums, punches and rhums arrangés, designed to sublimate the fruits and spices of Réunion Island. The seven-year old rum was voted "best spirit in the world" in 2015 (Spirits Selection). Regularly rewarded and always on the lookout for new trends, the various ranges are expanded year by year, notably the famous arrangés with their fruity tropical flavors.

Lucien Manciet, an artisan baker-pastry maker with the Label Rouge Bagatelle, is a reference in Saint-Pierre. First of all for his breads, certified organic, but above all for his pastries: local fruit mousses, French desserts revisited in the Creole style, you will devour with your eyes the different products displayed in the shop window. Also a chocolate maker, the shop is full to bursting at Christmas and Easter. A passion passed on in the family, from generation to generation!

Do you prefer espresso, ristretto, macchiato, affogato, cappuccino or mochaccino? This charming café is inspired by Anglo-Saxon coffee-shops. From carrot cake and divine cookies to waffles and minute pancakes, everything is homemade and devilishly good. A delicious place to wake up in the morning. Pastry chef David, Céline, trained in the art of coffee, and their small team officiate with brio. You'll also find savory options (quiches, croques, salads). Wifi available and lovely musical voices in the background.
